Should be fun. A small but very angry crowd.

Don't panic!

My son has a 100% win record at Villa park and we're coming up, so everybody chill out.

Tell every Villa fan you know to get down there Saturday and back the manager and players, and above all else let the board know exactly what we think!

These idiots are ruining our club but it's still our club, we're Aston Villa and we're all Villa til we die!

Throwing the "Bright Future" scarves on the pitch is the best thing to do, what a fuckin insult!

I'm not Ben Stokes so getting my scarf on the pitch from my seat with my arm is a pipedream

Likewise, Bully2345 - throwing mine onto the pitch from the Upper Holte would be a challenge. Unless I put a brick in it......hmm

A really powerful statement would be a gate of sub 20,000

Which won't happen because i'm pretty sure we have more than 20,000 ST holders.
I'd prefer a 40,000 crowd as a more powerful statement to the football world. I don't care what Hollis and Fox think as the song goes "they don't care about me all I care about is AVFC " I want to get behind Remi and the team until it's mathematically over , or not as the case may be !  then the spineless, faceless owner and board can have everything coming to them. Has anyone got Randy's address ? Weren't white feathers given out to cowards who had to perform acts of bravery to have them taken back ?
I will personally give one to Hollis and Fox if we do go down.

You could sellotape it to a javelin but thats not going to get through the turnstiles is it? I'll go back to sleep.

Seeing as we are using half the season as friendlies to prepare for next season they could lower the prices to £15 a ticket and refund everyone else the difference.

Maybe this protest should be saved until we're finally down and at that home game we do our best to get them thrown onto the pitch.

How many were given out? Does anybody know? As I can't remember the game.

It was the Sheffield Utd/25th Anniversary match in 2007 wasn't it?

Yes, Saturday will be the eight and three-quarter anniversary (approx) of it.

I've got two, mine and my lad's.  So full of hope and excitement that day, Saunders on the pitch, superb performance, really though it was the start of something big.......

Anything reserved for the last home game should be scrapped - we don't want to give Newcastle any satisfaction watching us suffer, we put on our party face that day.

Saturday we should give the board an insight to what Villa Park will look like next season - 1874 protest, no one enter the stadium until 18 minutes into the game, enter the ground get right behind Remi and the team until 74 minutes then everyone walk out en masse. For this to be effective we need a 35k+ crowd and everyone to participate no stragglers sneaking in to the Witton Lane and Upper Trin early because its raining or they can't be bothered. Imagine the eery atmosphere at the start when all you can here inside are the shouts of the players and the occasional farmers mutterings from the dozen or so Norwich fans.

If people want to give it a bit longer watching the game we can switch it to a 1982 ;)

I think we should get behind the team for the 90 minutes Saturday, any protest shouldn't get in the way of us. We need 3 points, being 7 behind Norwich who are 17th would just about keep the season alive.
