Could we all wear a clown mask to celebrate the utter circus we've become?

Would scare the kids too  ;)

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.

I won't be crying - I will be raging
I only cry when the Villa win!

No tears. And no A4 signs with "we'll be back" on it. Would look silly 15 years later when it hasn't happened.

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,

You not got a man bag Chris?

Is that a euphemism for a scrotum? If so, yes I have.

Well you could wrap a towel a round your scrotum I suppose.

Hide it under your shirt, like that Stoke player with the long throws used to.

I'm up for dumping "proud history bright future" scarf at game. An impotent and fruitless gesture it may be but it is some sort of gesture at least.

Wouldn't it work if you tied the scarf into two or three big knots? I'm no scientist so am prepared to be corrected!

Perhaps leaving them at William McGregor's feet may be an easier & more symbolic option?

Without reigniting the "what Liverpool fans did" argument, how did they manage to get those huge black flags into the Kop before that Sunderland game. If we tried that wouldn't they be removed from our persons at the turnstiles? If not something similar with our own slant would be news worthy (or at least SSN worthy).

Fans leaving memorabilia here would actually be an easy thing to do. I also think it would be very symbolic and something that could grow quickly. Doesn't just have to be a scarf could be anything. Think people would take photos in front of it and would get a lot of coverage.

Sounds like a goer doesn't it as we won't have to make too much effort...
