    Clearly it would be unlawful to conduct a mass pitch invasion and sit-in or any other form of physical act that may cause harm or distress...but what are the ideas to deliver a meaningful protest to mark the end of the season and this absolute shamble?

    Boycott games/throw tennis balls onto the pitch.

    Dirty protest, we all wear white shorts and in unison **** ourselves, probably best to do it towards the end of the game otherwise it might get a bit smelly.

    I haven’t been since the Norwich game even though I have a season ticket. The idea of investing time in these losers and the idiots in charge makes me sick. And I’ve been proved right as the cowards have (checks notes) lost all 6 games. Mostly winnable games as well.

    I’ve renewed and will reassess in the summer. Likely just flushed money down the toilet and will not renew again after that unless there is a top to bottom change in attitude and direction or Pozzo sells up (which won’t happen).

    I also can’t stand seeing any more of Foster’s face so he better be gone in the summer.

    What about chaining ourselves to the goal posts? Or having Harry the Hornet give a rousing speech to the owners from the fans' at FT on the centre circle?

    Just don't attend the games.

    Simple. Would be lovely to see the Vic totally empty against Leicester.

    I thought there were noticeably fewer people at the Burnley game. I imagine this will be even more pronounced now. I’m doing my bit - not going to either of the remaining home games.

    Throwing on tennis balls is a good idea. Even better if the fans write on them first with a marker pen.
    One word to describe their feelings towards the players and Duxbury/Pozzo.

    Paper darts made from programmes are a good ploy.

    I want a full blown riot ending with Ginos and Duxburys heads on sticks in the centre circle with Harry the Hornet dancing manically around them , show them we mean business.

    Have some respect, no way to treat a programme, you would be better off not buying it in the first place

    I doubt there will be enough there to actually create a scene. Mind you I remember Grimsby at home with Petchey....

    I’m a happy clapper , TV watching fan (but have seen most of every game this season) , I turned off at half time on Saturday and don’t plan on turning on another football game until next season now

    I can not express in words how let down I feel by this squad and genuinely feel sorry for those of you that go to every game. In fact I have felt so down about our performance that in the last month I have hardly logged onto this forum as I can’t face the inquisition into how **** we are and who’s fault it is.

    I doubt if we will see many of this this squad again and frankly **** em

    If you do decide to throw paper airplanes / tennis balls / bricks onto the pitch , would appreciate it if somebody could throw one on for me.

    Probably the best protest would be if the Watford supports vocally started supporting the opposition and booing our own team

    I'm not paying 3 quid or whatever it costs for that load of **** just to throw it on the pitch!

    To be fair, the programme is the only good thing about match day. I’m lucky enough to get complimentary editions but these are actually really good.

    You could just use the Junior Hornets bit in the middle to make the dart, therefore keeping most of the programme.

    I get them offered for free but I refuse them. I tell my dad he can fill up his own recycling bin because I'm not taking them. Am I missing out?

    That's the only bit I'd want. The kids might like it and my daughter had her name in it once on her birthday.

    Which reminds me, she won a signed shirt at the fan's day before the ladies match last Sunday and I've not heard a peep from the club about delivering it.

    There's literally nothing this club won't **** up.

    I won't go but I'll watch the game at home, purely because I like to whinge about these overpaid, lazy ****s who are 'representing' our club.

    I've genuinely forgotten what it's like to be proud of the team or what it's like to enjoy watching a game of football.

    Zero applause when the team run out onto the pitch.

    When they line up. Booooooooooooooooooooo.

    Then the whistle blows. Five minutes hurl invective against Hodgson.

    Next five minutes try and locate Fuxbury in the directors box and give him hell. Even if he's not there like the coward he is, just do it.

    Next five minutes locate Gino and give him both barrels. Again if he is not there just shout for all you are worth.

    Rinse and repeat for the old toad of a coach, the smarm merchant and the incompetent who owns the club unfortunately to the final whistle.

    When it blows. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    If the players come up to the stands to applaud just turn around and do a reverse Poznan. If you are brave drop your pants.

    If by a miracle we score don't applaud. Just silence. The players deserve a lot of flak. Most are clearly unfit to even play.

    You are missing out. You need to save these treasures. In 50 years, there will be an 18 year old Watford fan, probably called Cam Ucko, who will want these. It will be historic evidence from the Dark Ages. These could be valuable items of memorabilia, and he won’t be able to complete his thesis without them. You will be denying the yet to be born baby Ucko his chance to get a top grade, thus he won’t be able to go to University. He’ll end up selling programmes just to make ends meet, and sharing a cardboard box with an ancient called Wolfie. Please just think of the consequences of your actions. Save baby Ucko.
