Pitch invasions are a no go after the overreaction to the Albion game.  Only other thing might be to stage a sit in protest in the stands after the final whistle.

If I agreed with scarf chucking, and I don't, I am keeping my Wembley scarf only ever to wear for a Wembley victory that might erase the pain of when I wore it last.

If i agreed with the scarf chucking i'd cut it in half and chuck the bright future half back.

Which is a quite brilliant idea. One might also wipe ones arse on the proud history part as that is what Mr Lerner seems to be doing.

It would make them worthless to any looters too. Not that they'll be worth much now anyway.

I'd favour more direct action. Invade the pitch and stop a match. Won't solve anything, won't help the team (but they're beyond help now, so we shouldn't worry about upsetting the lazy little lightweights), probably won't even be seen by Randy ( or his purse string, legacy-controlling mother) but might help fans to let off steam. No point having a polite demo that gets no attention.

Unless they think that it's worth a three-year banning order to let off some steam, they might be better off taking up boxing or maybe having a massage.

A 3 year banning order from watching Villa? it would be a relief for some. Pitch invasion is the only action to get noticed. Those worried about it could wave their scarves at a statue
So I get paid about one and half grand for doing that...I am in!

Can't see there being a huge crowd for Palace given it's midweek and they're not a huge draw.

Wouldn't Leicester be a better choice, on TV and all that.

I still have my PHBF scarf somewhere, it's a nice design but I'd be willing to do some sort of protest with it for the Newcastle game. Maybe chuck it on the pitch if the players dare to do a lap of appreciation (it will be cancelled I'm sure) like fans do with season tickets.

We want 'out' Villa back. Is this just embarrassing grammar or am I missing something?

*shrugs*

In which case, go for it.

I'm not saying that I'm going for it ( I've got enough selfies of me on the pitch after the Albion game last season, ta very much, and I'm still dreading the 6 oclock knock after the Southampton invasion in 1994), but there are times when direct action is the only way to be heard. Even if it changes nothing, the thought of Fox ( or, if a miracle should happen and Randy is exhumed from his Ohio bat cave and attends a Villa game), has to sit and watch a few hundred people giving him dogs' abuse in front of his corporate chums, it might be a small victory. And it might make a lot of fans feels a bit better. Or we could just slip meekly out of the league without a whimper.   

we will knock the door at half 5

Black balloons(Or rubber jonnys if you're affluent)....and ferking loads of them...all over VP..and with plenty of social media awareness and prior media forewarning.

Cheap,full of hot air and made of plastic...which is the entire pointless message,and  they have the potential to  drift across the Atlantic.

Randy Lerner's tenure summed up in a meaningless expression of fixated loathing

At the final whistle of ***insert name of any team here**** game everyone should stay in their seats but turn around with their back facing the pitch in silence, nothing abusive just 35,000 facing the opposite direction.

A much better protest. Take your seat.  Do it for the first 15 minutes.
