I'm not sure we could do anything, to be honest. I like the idea that there's a groundswell of like-minded people who feel strongly enough to stop attending, make banners etc, but I think it's tiny in comparison to the people that go every week, come what may, because of routine, or commitment, or because it's just what they do - go and watch the football. And hard as it is to believe, there are groups of people that go because it's a treat - I would say three out of the last four times I've been to Villa, I've been sat near what's obviously an organised trip for some students or an extended family.
My opinion on it is that any co-ordinated protest is best served when the attendance already plays into the hands of the hardcore disaffected: a midweek game against some relegation fodder (we can't play ourselves, unfortunately) or a televised game when the attendance will be reduced because of it. If you want to make your voice heard you need to ensure you're not lost in the sea of largely passive spectating. Although vicious, the atmosphere at the Bolton McLeish game was hard to deny. I've rarely heard a body of people so furious.
