No, needs to be different.

Someone mentioned cowboy costumes earlier for the end of season wake, that could work.

Do it with a bit of humour, so we aren't seen as just copying other fans again.

Not having a go at you personally, KG, but just think about this for a few moments. There is no will among Villa fans to protest en masse. When 25 people turn up dressed as Wyatt Earp it'll just look like we're auditioning for a Village People tribute act.

And as for this 'let's make some noise' idea. Football fans frequently make noise, some might say it's what they're supposed to do. How can that ever be considered a protest?

Whatever it is, if it relies on mass participation and coordination of Villa fans, it is doomed to fail. Leeds' projection of images on their ground worked because only a few people had to actually do something. Dortmund's tennis ball protest only required a few hundred participants.

I wish we'd think things through, sometimes.

A protest especially on a Game televised on SKY makes sense.

It isn't on Sky is it?

Norwich-Chelsea is the live game.

Is it ?

Bournemouth -Southampton is the live game

The tennis ball protest gets it for me, two or three thousand tennis balls on the pitch emblazoned words Lerner out will make a statement. Can you get nicked for lobbing a tennis ball in the ground? Lerner out paper darts?

The last away day at the end of the season is normally an outlet for fans who are so inclined to dress up and make a bit of a spectacle of themselves. Was just thinking it might be easier to do it then. I'm not advocating assless chaps.

As for Village People tribute acts, there is no way we could ever match this.



So there is no point in even trying.

You'd never get in the ground with tennis balls. Maybe there's an item fans habitually take to football matches that could be chucked on the pitch?

Well done to them. Better than being completely shafted and taking it bent over asking for more please sir.



Apparently, the Club were planning to include a bottle of lube as part of the season ticket renewal pack this year. But then they realised that anyone renewing won't complain if there isn't any and they could save money by not including it.
