The best protest would be for all to turn up at the game five minutes after kick off, potentially causing the game to be delayed. Better if it was for a televised game.

That sounds dangerous

Since I'd probably be late for my own funeral this one will be an easy one for me.  Viva la revolution!

I think we should make our displeasure known by leaving in our droves 10-12 minutes before the final whistle, regardless of whether we are winning or losing... oh wait a minute  :)

Sire, what is this "winning" that you talk about?

We've not really been 'battered' by anybody this season. It wouldn't surprise me if we're properly taken apart a couple of times between now and May, but I'd be amazed if the team doing it is the current Liverpool side at Villa Park.

It would not have flattered Leicester had it been 5 or 6 last week. Clark was one of our better players and is out now. Baker and Okore have not had much of a chance to play together either. I could easily see a Liverpool side who have been looking slightly more lively the last couple of weeks getting 2-3 up on us and it turning very acidic this weekend.
Before Baker was injured and Clark came in, he was also one of our better players.

I could probably see Liverpool going a couple of goals ahead as well. It's certainly more likely than us going a couple of goals up. As Ads says, it'll probably be 1-1, 0-0 or 0-1.

But even if we lose 2-0 or even 3-0 to Liverpool, that wouldn't be a 'hammering'.

fuck off with your protest. If you want to protest then do so by not going. I will be there supporting my team and hoping that my support will help us to get something out of the game and maybe, just maybe, turn a corner

I read that incorrectly at first and thought 'yes it would be nice for us to get a corner'....

Not sure if I agree with The Villa Peoples Front or The Peoples Front of Villa, tough call.

It's an idea that's been pitched before but I won't be partaking. I don't think it'll have an impact and I think it'd be more beneficial to be out there supporting the team.

If we happen to score early I bet they'd all come running out...

If my infrequent visits to Vilka Park are anything to go by, at least half the ground leave it until 3.05 to take their seats anyway, as they shuffle past muttering sorry with a cup of coffee in each hand.

I'm usually rolling in from the boozer about that time for most home games.  Minus the coffee if you don't mind. Fat lot of good my one man protest has done.

The most effective time and place to protest is during a game whilst in the stands.

We can write as many letters to the club as we like (as i have previously done), we can sign as many Lambert Out online petitions as we like (as i have done) and we can phone up the local radio stations and vent our spleen as often as we like (as i do).

But the only way that you can guarantee that our voices are heard by the board, management, players are where and when it matters most. I believe this is still showing your support, and in many cases it is better to show just how annoyed and angry we are rather than just happy clapping and accepting our lot each week.

I hope the protest works, but i do have my concerns that not enough people will go through with it when it comes to 3pm to 3:08pm, and it will look just like most home games this season- an half empty Holte- which is in itself an even bigger protest!

UTV!

Don't  know why you go to Vilka Park? At Villa Park coffee is served  at your seat.

I don't think you should protest during a game. I don't think it does the team any good.
