Serious question - short of one of them having a spare £150 million, how will 'we' get 'our' Villa back?

The fans crying out for their Villa back is exactly that. Its not a cry over the specifics of someone buying the club or players putting in a shift, or us having having better behind the scenes management, but we just want to be watching a half-decent Villa team. not the one gurgling around the plug hole that is now going to finally drop. The sentiment is one of pain, hurt, and desperation. It isn't a question that needs answering but more a heartfelt plea to be able to just go down and watch a Villa team again and enjoy supporting the Villa.

So shut the feck up and put up with it then?
From what I've seen the organisers have insisted that the protest is intended to be peaceful.

I hope not because if that does happen it becomes the story rather the original intentions.

Of course not - not acting in case something negative might happen seems pretty extreme in itself - nobody would ever get out of bed...

I was answering the question about there being a riot not passing a view on whether people should do it or not. We all saw from the Baggies game last year, when a celebratory pitch invasion was reported as a return to the dark ages, that these things happen.
