I am not certain it is feasible or not but if enough money could be raised to hire a plane or helicopter to fly over Villa Park and drop hundreds of white handkerchiefs (or something similar) onto the pitch during play.

That would definitely make a statement and allow the Villa Park customers to continue to make excuses about not getting involved in protests personally!

It needs to be simple to be effective. Large scale walk outs\boycotts are all excellent ideas but really hard to organise in large enough numbers.
I think something like on 10 mins we are all going to jeer\boo etc (something loud which signals your disapproval) advertise it on here make the local press aware will lead onto national.
To be really effective a sky game would be best might not get coverage on more etc...have wecany home sky games?


Again, it needs thinking through. Booing on 10 minutes? What if we score on 10 minutes?

Now that's what I call optimistic

Bring the scarves ready to throw on pitch when we concede the first goal.

Would love to go 6 games with clean sheets!

What is the world-record for scarf-throwing? 9.6 feet and 2⅛ inches or something?

I knew it, people are already practising. I better shape up.

I can arrange for EDM (Electronic Distance measurement) and qualified technical officials to make it official.

Questions:
How do the scarves make it from the upper tiers to the pitch?   
 

Tie them round a brick.

Ya daft thug Throttlecock.

Tie them to helium balloons and shoot them out of the air with .22 air rifles is the way to go.

I would go for black - as opposed to claret and blue - balloons. In their dozens they would be all over the pitch at kick off and cause a delay. May need to do it before the last game though as the Geordies might claim them as their own.

Knowing the clubs "shirt sales are up" type of thinking, I fully expect to see black balloons up for sale in the club shop if they get wind of this...

How about a big fuck off banner saying Jesus saves, but Ray Graydon scores on the rebound.

A banner so big, it can be seen from the stratosphere. Made from those lasers that grounded the Virgin Atlantic New York flight and the tears of every Villa fan.

Everyone should just turn up five minutes after kick off

A bit like the starting XI?

I quite like the black arm-band idea. Simple, understated and easy to do.

So far I have got:

Not showing up, but before we do not show up we all DO show up to tie our scarves onto balloons then shoot them out of the air with the weapons we have brought. At the same time the Villa fan air force dive bomb the ground dropping white linens, providing a great backdrop as we roar the team on, for the finale we cover the entire ground in one single protest banner (words to come) at which point we drop the mic and stage a complete walk out.

I like it. Simple clear and effective.
