Can we have a Guess the Crowd & Prediction Thread for the protest?

My GTC is 43 and Prediction is this -

3pm - The 43 are all in position singing about Small Heath.
3.03pm - The 43 are getting restless are there are so few of them and start to shout a little louder before someone decides to start a 'stampede'.
3.04pm - The 43 find themselves by Villa Village. They stop there, and start singing 'We want McLeish out', pointing the fingers at the offices above the shop.
3.07pm - More than half of the 43 have now raised their scarves over their faces as they continue to lay into the staff working above the shop.
3.12pm - They move on, making their way past the back of the North Stand, to be apprehended by Police, telling them they can't go that way.
3.13pm - After shouting at the Police, they turn away, and form an orderly queue to purchase a fanzine from a keen salesman who has sought an opportunity.
3.17pm - After spending their £2, they turn again, this time walking back towards the Trinity, before breaking up into smaller groups, having forgotten what they turned up so early for. Complaints about the cold start to go around, for which McLeish gets blames, so they start their songs again. Now, there are only about 10 left.
3.20pm - The 10 remaining Super Great Wonder Fans are queueing at the turnstile, moaning about how many people don't care about the club. They are however, proud of their bed sheet that they held.

3.30pm - dazzyg arrives

....armed with another BED sheet.............

If the Ginge has lost the dressing room, I hope Warnock, Collins, Heskey, Dunne are lost forever. I also would like any player who does not give 100% for Aston Villa to be got rid of. Pissed off hearing about players revolt etc. If it's the same players as last time F,,, m off.

I was quite impressed with McLeish's demeanour on Sunday: he was engaged, passionate and prepared to have a go at players that did not play to his script. And, by and large, the team played okay (defensive idiocy aside).
Yes, his substitutions have been suspect at times and he has seemed to stumble across the value of palying Herd and then Clark alongside Petrov as the midfield. His biggest problem was that he prioritised buying N'Zog over a couple of decent centre backs in the close-season.

The point is, we have McL at the moment: why shoot his legs away at tihis crucial time in the season when the
chairman is unlikely to get rid?

I thought this was a wind-up, there's actually a protest? Christ. Go and have a beer before the game and then go and support your team, you'll feel much better.

To be fair to him, he had Dunne and Collins, who had formed an excellent partnership that, it seemed at the time, Houllier had messed up. 

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the summer's priority was replacing Ash and/or Downing.

It's at times like this I recall Henry Rollins' advice to Morrissey:

"Go for a walk, get some sunshine, get some vitamin C. Get a girlfriend, get a James Brown CD, GET OVER IT!"

The worst thing about this is people on both sides making out their the better fan, as a fan of Villa we all have a choice in how we react to things that happen to our club! Some may become alcoholics some may boo for 90 minutes every fortnight others might just stay away altogether but I'm guessing they all love the Villa!

One thing that does piss me off is people saying that the protesters will embrace "us", at the end of the day who cares what others think? It's something that has been aimed at the Brigada lads a few times. At the end of the day what our fans do at our club has fuck to do with Mancs, Scousers or the Noses across the city.
