I think it is time we protested and really made ourselves heard. I hope it doesn't turn out to be embarrassingly half hearted or half supported. I also hope it doesn't become divisive amongst the fans. I fear it will be both. The media have picked up on it so they will be watching with interest. The problem is that these situations are usually about getting the owner to pull his finger out or get out. I honestly can't see him doing the former and he is already attempting to do the latter without success.

Hopes dashed I'm afraid Damo. Holte looked virtually full to me before kick off.

Even Jeff Stelling made a snidey little remark on SSN.

The protest was a bit of a stupid idea. It was all excruciatingly Newcastle.

It was always destined to fail.  Hastily put together following the Leicester result. They'd have been better biting their tongue and planning something properly.  Now it looks like it's a minority causing a fuss.

It served it's purpose in media coverage but we're riddled with apathy. Can't believe 39k there today. Prob a load of brummie reds but if you didn't have a ST why pay to watch this garbage?

Yes.

Someone called the after game phone in with Tom Ross and said he had take part in the protest.  He was complaining that the TVs in the concourses were turned off while it went on!!

So who cancelled the protest then?

Seriously, it was the quietest protest I've ever heard. I know the focus was the 8 minutes empty Holte but surely if you're protesting you'd stand outside the Holte, make a bit of noise and try to spread the word of what you're trying to do?! You'd have thought the protesters would appreciate not every Villa fan reads online forums!

The Holte was fuller at kick off than any other game this season and given the press picked up on the 'protest' beforehand we now look like mugs.
