Same as anything, if 4 or 5 people do it then they're going to get nicked but if 15000 people do it.......

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  ;)

How many people have a white hanky nowadays - unless they've still got the Christmas present of their nan 20 years ago at the bottom of the sock draw.
And waving a tissue sounds a bit feeble to me.

I take it then that rules out putting a set of stocks behind the Holte and pelting certain employees of our great club with rotten veg. Shame as not only would that we great fun and we could raise money for charity at the same time. £1 for a rotten tomato. £2 for a rotten cabbage. £3 for a  large cauliflower. £10 for a large pumpkin.

We'll have to have a mass "politely placing them on the floor" then.

Some of our throw-ins have been pretty criminal lately. The more I think about it, the more I like the mass towel chucking idea. Everybody's got an old towel they can get rid of, and it doesn't have to be a 'treasured' Villa one.

If anyone thinks I am carting an old towel on the train and then standing holding it for an hour in the pub just so that I can subsequently chuck it away then they have another thing coming,

Let's all meet for a mass curry beforehand and take those hot towels that they give out with us to the game.

IIRC in the late 70s a Blues fan was fined £400 for throwing a peanut at some Leeds fans

Brilliant idea.  Then use all the toilets and not flush.  A dirty protest.

Just wear it as a toga. Practical and stylish.

I think everyone attending should dress as Stewards then when people start throwing towels/black balloons/darts on to the pitch we can all arrest ourselves. I'm coming as a policeman complete with white horse so I can get easy access to the pitch.

Media wont give a shit whatever we do on the last day. They will focus on the champions and the unfortunates who go down with us. At least there wont be clips of Villa fans crying in the stands, our tears will be done with by then.
