Seeing as our last home game is the Geordies then I'm all for a boycott given the shit we are going to get dished out to us.

Fuck 'em they can give all the stick out they like at least we won't cry like babies for years after.

In a more hilarious world we could drag them down with us.

A protest needs to have a goal. So what's the goal? If it is to get Randy to sell, well he's already trying to do that. He just doesn't have a buyer. If it is show the board how you feel then how does a half or quarter empty stadium achieve that? Not everyone is going to avoid the game. And for those who attend are they not as passionate about the club as those who participate in the boycott?

There needs to be a tangible and defined aim and if the aim doesn't affect immediate change then is there desire to do it again and again until it does? Protests rarely work on the first attempt so will there be enough energy and following to keep this up?
The aim must be to get the powers that be to take care of and focus on creating a football team. That means backing the manager to radically change the squad.

Yes the long term goal I agree, but what does the short term protest hope to achieve? For your suggestion to take effect it will take many protests and I don't know if we have the energy to do that. We've now had 5 years of this and we still get good gates and fans showing up spending a lot of money for something they love. Do Villa fans have what it takes to see a protest and movement through to the desired end?

Throw a bottle of piss at Fox and Hollis.

Would you really do that?

Depends how full it was.

I suffered it to the end with many others yesterday and looked on from the Trinity with pride as all those still on the Holte End spent the last 10 minutes singing non-stop and making a racket by banging the empty seats. It grabbed everyone's attention and drew applause from the Liverpool fans.

Rather than boycott, LET'S GO OUT WITH A BANG. 90 minutes of non-stop din, with accompanying protest chants. Drown out anything coming from any piss-taking oppo fans, voice our disapproval at the directors box, and let any prospective buyer out there know that these supporters are worth investing in.
Why wait until the last game - make it every game, starting at Stoke. Nobody sits on the seats at away games anyway.

Where were you when we were shit?


Same for me, I was stood on the Holte yesterday singing till the end, made me proud to be a Villa fan.  I would rather we did that and let the board and that twat Lerner just what we think of them for 90 minutes.
we can sing we're the villa boys making all the noise all we like mate ,,,it wont bother lerner or fox one little bit

That's my favourite suggestion so far.

Try throwing one inside a football ground and see.

No, it doesn't matter and the truth is you wouldn't do it.

anyway it seems there is enough people pissed off enough to do some sort of protest
I am not really into boycotts but my opinion / suggestion for what it is worth is this
Last match or one of the remaining home matches turn up for the match at usual but congregate on aston park hill by L8
Bring cans and radios and banners  and spend the next 2 hours singing and chanting
during the match the TV cameras would film and comment on the thousands of empty seats across the stadium
and then zoom in between the gap between the trinity and the the holte to see thousands of Villa fans on aston park hill
doesnt have to be the whole match , we could walk out on a pre specified minute to congregate on the hill
mind you , there is one slight flaw i have just realised , they have built that stupid 3 story corporate box in that corner

And that would be scary would it? I've heard it all now.
We had a laugh at their expense a few years back, I'm sure most of the grown ups amongst us can cope with it coming the other way.
