White flags , hankies , knickers , whatever you want as long as its white.

To show randy we think its pants why not wave them ?
Got a nice white towel I accidently stole from a hotel that might be useful.  Can cut it up maybe!

No fan action PLEASE! The Blackburn fans' carry on during Steve Kean's rein was embarrassing, even if they were right he was useless.

Perhaps a letter addressed to Randy printed in one of the papers from a fans' representative asking him to clarify his motives in running the club into the ground (maybe put a little more diplomatically).


How can you say no fan action? In front of the watching football public we packed out Villa Park and gave it our all for 50 minutes...


Amidst all the anger and sadness and blame and recrimination aimed at our young players - our new manager -  our owner -  the replying sentence above sums up what's really wrong at VP.

It is telling that it took an entire season for us to turn on TSM - I think Lambchop the sock puppet will cop it on Tuesday unless something changes.
It won't.

Probably nothing, I'm angry/distraught/sad/devasted it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion and everyone else finds it hilarious!

If, and I do mean IF, fans were to act it would have to be something that ultimately won't hurt the club. Who were the fans who boycotted the first 10 or 15 minutes of a match? It should be something like that.
Waving white flags for example could indicate we're giving up. Not spending money on refreshments doesn't really help considering we are skint as it is.

No I meant all other fans, infact not just football fans everyone is ripping the shit out of us now. I know that no Villa fans are finding it funny.

I don't give a flying feck what fans of other clubs think of us. All I care about is us.

Turn our backs for the first 10 minutes,it would be better than watching the game.

Now, I'm not one for daft and pointless posturing, but a white flag day could be alright.

The best protests are the ones that everyone can take part in, and that are a bit of fun, we did a good job with the £sign protest for instance, it didn't harm anyone, it was bloody obvious what it was aimed at (buy us a player Douglas) and no one was bothered about waving a £sign during the game.

Can't remember who did that "pants" protest a few years back (Reading?), that was good as well.

Organise it, go for it, not for Noocassell, too soon, but next home game after that. Spread the word, wave white things. Get it in the media, get organised. Reckon you can do that? Go on, you are whinging enough on here, get yourself organised.
