I'm with CT Villain, simple and very effective, the media will run with it too.
A banner or two telling Remi we're 100% with him would be good - 'Remi - Oui. Board - Non' ?
Pitch invasions are a terrible idea and will achieve nothing but negative results.

PS. As soon as I get a job I'll make myself a muppet, promise!! :D

No chance of getting any banners criticising the board into the ground.  At the Palace game, stewards were confiscating any banners which in the words of one of them "had a go at Randy Lerner".  I like the idea of showing support for Remi Garde though.

Pitch invasion would be my choice. That's if I wasn't already going for the boycott option.

Tonight's going to be fun as well

What about the court appearance and £1000 fine that would accompany it if caught?

I like the idea of a white flag protest.

that gets my vote too. Take something white to wave or hold up to show displeasure at the board's surrender of our premier league place without a fight

Support the team, support the manager, barrack the board.  Take some banners of support for Garde and discontent with the Board amd show the lazy media that we arn't 'fickle', we arn't 'deluded' were knowledgable, loyal, loud and know who the culprits are.

Pitch invasions with coffins and mass boycotts are for the hysterically sanctimonious of Sandwell or the Neanderthals of Small Heath.

It has to be made crystal clear that we're 100% behind Garde, the last thing we want to do is create an atmosphere where the one good thing we have going for us decides it's time for him to leave.

That said, board protest absobloodylutely.

White flag or Black armbands for the death of Aston Villa premier status for god knows how long.
In fact did we not do the black armband thing when we went down last time at the last away game, for some reason got in my head Old Trafford.

We need to get behind Garde on Saturday, show him that we appreciate him even if those shitbags in the boardroom don't.

Would be good if we could come up with some kind of chant to say who we'd like to stay and who we'd like to go - i.e. keep the manager, sack the board.

Also get behind Garde and the players it's not their fault there not fit for purpose, so plenty of Remi Gardes Claret and Blue Army, also as we dont know when we will be back at these places again, make 'We'll meet again" our song between now and May, so we can show we aint fickle and we have a sense of humour.

I won't be taking my 5 year old, he keeps asking to go (despite not seeing us win any of the 6 games he's been to so far this season), but I genuinely believe this one could get toxic.

I notice that Charlton fans are using the "support the team, not the regime" slogan on their banners at the moment ( they are being shafted something rotten by their owners). Not sure if they nicked it from Newcastle though?

All take white sheets and then hold aloft and cover the whole away end at West Ham.  Make the whole block white and it would look good on TV.
