Is anything going to happen? I am reading white flags/ hankies.
Hearing Season Ticket Boycots.
Does any one think that anything will happen?

Managers come and go, owners not so quickly.
The protests should be aimed at Lerner - an individual who owns our football club in its entirety but is never here and has nothing to say to us.

I am torn by the fact we need to support the team to stay up with the fact that if we do AM will survive - the choice is stark but the Villa come first...

Have tickets for Bolton but if we win that (or have won against MartinO'Neil'sSunnerland) won't go against Spuds.

We haven't even given AM a hard time yet - we need to build up slowly...

When making a stand, watch out for asbestos.

I'll happily attend any protest, before/during/after any game or even one random night at Villa Park, but only once we've secured safety.

Agree that we need to be right behind the team for the next few games.  I don't want to condone what is classed as criminal behaviour, but whatever the outcome of the next few games, I think there should be a full scale pitch invasion at the end of the Spurs game.  For one it would prevent McLeish and some of those players walking round giving and taking applause, and secondly it will let everyone at the club know just how annoyed, hurt and frustrated we all feel.

We won't protest, we don't care enough, we've had that knocked out of us. Randy doesn't watch or listen. The club will just slip quietly out of the PL and we will all watch, speechless.

And smash the place up? No thanks. We'll leave that sort of thing to SH.

I think the best way to show the club how upset we are is as follows.

Fill the ground for every remaining home game and sing and shout your heads off in support of the players on the pitch for 90 minutes.

Do not purchase anything from the clubshop, food outlets, holte suite & pub before, during and after the game.. don't buy food, drinks, or programmes.

Nope.  No need to smash the place up at all.  Just have a protest on the pitch in full view of everyone and the media.

How have a couple of joke posts about corned beef and asbestos turned into smashing up Villa Park, or at the very least invading the pitch? Stop quoting me & John when expressing your insanity!
