I still think kidnapping Lerners son and putting a ransom of £250m on his head would be the best way about this.

I like this.

The scarf and/or black balloons followed by a non stop wall of noise from a packed ground as we show that know matter what, who the owner is etc, WE are Aston Villa. I'd go for that.

Its all very well for most of you to go throwing scarves. However, from my seat, I could well end up hitting Remi on the noggin and getting arrested

I really like GOASTT. I believe that the lead singer's parents may also have been in the music business

Remember the Blackburn Rovers Chicken on the pitch protest ?

We're Aston Villa, anybody know where we can get a Lion ?

I gave up reading a couple of pages back but the scarves should be thrown on 82 minutes  as they were given to commemorate our European Cup winning team.

My only doubt is that that might be too close to the end & people might already be on their way, but I would think most early leavers would be able to kind of 'give & go' at around that time so it'd combine with a bit of a walk out.

People can throw them from the back, & people further forward can throw them further forward until they reach the pitch.

There could maybe even be a bit of scarf twirling  (as our instruction leaflet got us to do on the day they were given) as they travel forward which might create a bit of a wave effect as they head towards the pitch.

Well if our players have thrown their dummies/ toys out of the pram because they haven't had a break in the sun perhaps that could be an idea for an end of season protest. All take a dummy or cheap toy and throw it onto the pitch.

Anyone thinking of doing the scarf thing should watch the Borussia Dortmund tennis ball protest. They had to stop the game, and I think that's what should be aimed for in order to get maximum coverage. A clever person might be able to post the video link here.

The tone that they were going for was a bit like us saying in English that something is "just not cricket", so for it to work we'd need to launch cricket balls at the pitch.

Somebody mentioned throwing towels on to the pitch on another head. I think thats a great idea as essentially that's what's happened. Easy to get a towel in and most people have an old one they could do without.

Shows the Board and players exactly what we think they've done. From bath towels to hand towels we've thrown it in. So lets throw it at them.

Throw the towel in day.

The season will be over by the time that the next official Towel Day comes around

Sorry to be a party pooper but any item "thrown" at a football stadium is a criminal offence

Just saying like

I have always like the Real Madrid / Barcelona imagery of the white hanky  swirling around, its an almost Roman / Coliseumesque way of showing mass disapproval  - and its perfectly legal  ;)
