I kept my cup final scarf for symbolic use but I would prefer to wear/throw it on a happy day.  Like the day we are conga ing our way back up.  That scarf was witness to a truly miserable day.  It needs soaking in success, not more failure.

Mine is in a box in the garage Brian.

I don't think it will ever see the light of day again!!

There is a bloke on the H&V Facebook page who hasn't been to a match for seven years yet is giving Villa his 'support' blaming those who go to the match for the mess they're in and calling them 'fans'. Personally I'd call them supporters.

Do the Electric Boogaloo on 82.

That'll show them.

Football is too expensive to forfeit some of the game. With the price of tickets you need to stay as long as possible to get your moneys worth, if that's even possible. I expect the walkout will get some media attention but the club will be unresponsive. Boycotting the merchandise, programmes and refreshments is less visible but would be more of a concern to the club.

I never received one on the day - a supportive fellow fan obviously lifted it. Afterwards, I really didn't have the enthusiasm to go get a free one from the club shop despite the kind offer from the club.

'Customers' if you don't mind, Chris.

They haven't changed course despite the risk of losing the biggest pot of sky money in history. Do you think they care if you buy a pie?

Maybe this needs changing to "Out the door on 54"?

Then it will be a more natural walking out of fans as we go three nil down.

I've kept all my Cup Final scarf, so when I'm a wheelchair-bound, dribbling old man of letters who's just collected his fifth Booker Prize, I'll have it round my neck when they let me present the Villa with the Cup.

Of course, by that point, the Final will be on a Thursday night at the New Den, but I won't give up the dream.

Personally, I say stay in Villa Park and let yourself be heard.
I can't walk away from my Aston Villa.
My love is for Aston Villa.

Try as I may, I cart turn my back on them

When I am very naughty they get it out of the drawer and make me look at it very hard until I realise what a bad person I am...
