  1. Right, Wigan away. Who's going? We shall get them going on the coach and in the pub before the game then sing them going to the ground. We'll try get them noticed by everyone and get them sang in the JJB then eventually sang at Villa Park once everybody notices them. Join in if you're there, don't be shy.

    The pub just over the other side of the car park from the ground is the place to be.

    Oh and don't sing on the coach, you'll get some right funny looks from the blanket brigade

  2. I know this has been posted before but still:

    'Oooohh Aston Villa

    The mighty Villa, the pride of Brum

    Conquerors of Europe back in 1982

    Soon to be repeated by the boys in claret and blue

    Oooohh Aston Villa.....'

    Perfect for European nights

    I really like that one! Can imagine that being chanted for European nights.

    How about the Carew one, though?

    [To the tune of Agadoo]

    John Carew rew rew push pineapple shake the tree

    John Carew rew rew he'll score 2 or maybe 3

    (We've got to have one like that because when he scores a hat trick and we're singing "He's bigger than me and you, he's gonna score 1 or 2...bla bla bla" it doesn't really work)

    John Carew rew rew he's bigger than you or me

    John Carew rew rew he'll score 2 or maybe 3

    With his strength, with his height

    He'll give defences a big fright

    With his left, with his right

    Big John will score all **** niiight

    John Carew rew rew....

  3. When the North Stand is redeveloped are there any plans to fill in the corners of the Holte? I don't mean building work i just mean filling them in with the plasticy sheeting that is already on the Holte now. I think if more of these were added to make the Holte enclosed the atmosphere would be a lot better and a lot of the noise wouldn't be lost as it is now

  4. New songs only seem to get sung in Adventurers before the games really as everyone is pissed and pissed together in one small place, whereas most of them don't sit together at the games probably. Most people don't join into songs that are unfamiliar unless you print off song sheets with instructions ffs!

    Very true that. Theres always singing before games in the Adventurers, and theres a jukebox and before most games someone always puts on kharma chameleon and any other song that we sing to which gets everyone going. Before the Liverpool game we were singing a song about Gerrard in there, then come the game most of the Upper Holte were singing it. Get yourselves in there and start these new songs off

    Yep they always play hi ho silver lining too which gets everyone started.

    I'm in there every week mate in the beer garden rain or shine and join in but nobody joins in where i sit at the game in Holte :shock:

    Were you in the garden before Liverpool when we were singing that Gerrard song? Everyone in the pub had heard it, then me and a few lads walked to the ground singing it so more people could hear it, then by the time we got in the ground it had caught on, simple

  6. General Krulak here:

    5. Music: I will see what I can do.

    Thanks. Music when the players run out is annoying but i suppose that has to stay, it would be great though if you could sort it that no music was played until say 5 minutes after the final whistle, as i said i feel it really ruins the atmosphere when we've won as we can't be heard over the music. I know a lot of fans feel the same aswell

  7. Can we stop the music being played as soon as the final whistle goes? It completely ruins the atmosphere when we've won, we've got 'Hi-ho silver lining' blaring out while the players are coming over to the Holte celebrating and the fans are trying to sing the team's praises and sing Carew's name for example. Nobody joins in with 'Hi-ho...' anyway so it would be better to just let the fans sing and leave the music off for 5 minutes

  8. what do you people recon to this one for Milner feel free to tinker if need be

    to the tune of ''no surrender'

    we have a star in our team we call him milner

    he gets the ball and runs down the wing

    so every week we see him play for the villa

    he plays for villa so the holte end sing

    jamie milner

    jamie milner

    jamie milner running down the wing

    jamie milner

    jamie milner

    jamie milner hear us sing

    Pretty good that, get KidLewis on it :lol:

  9. Is the lower north stand open for all or is it season ticket holders?

    I think you can get up to 6 tickets per booking. If we can work out which seat and row numbers to get can make sure I get tickets near you blackcountryvilla.

    I think next season we should try and see if we can get a designated area of Holte or North stand for us singers.

    Well the back of the Upper Holte is already the 'unofficial designated standing/singing area' and there are good numbers up there who stand and sing every game but the noise doesn't travel at all. Hardly anyone else in the Holte joins in anyway unless we're winning or playing Blues so it won't hurt anything if the singers moved. If we could transport all those from the back of the Upper Holte to the lower North it would be brilliant, imagine 3000 stood in there singing every game and having banter with the away fans. Teams wouldn't slag our fans off then.

  10. I would be up for sitting anywhere where we could get some new chants going. How do you think we could get us new singers all together?

    Well obviously we're out of the Carling Cup now and next week's game is the only 'crap' Uefa Cup game left but next season just spread the word and try and get the singers from the Upper Holte to move to the lower North for these lesser games. Or if we get a rubbish team in our group in the Uefa this season we could do it.

    I think we need a standing and singing section in the lower North for all games anyway, a lot of away fans come to VP and they can't even hear us singing in the Holte. We need fans right next to the away fans who are going to sing all game, like Albion's Smethwick End on Sunday

  11. i know yeh your right mate.

    we are in desperate need of some new songs our current ones are old and dated also we need to stop singing about the blues there irrelevent to us now there in championship, sing songs to get behind the team.

    How would we go about getting tickets in the same area of the holte end upper?

    For Carling Cup games and the early Uefa Cup games the singers from the Upper Holte should move to the lower North. You could have a bit of banter with the away fans then, i mean the rest of the Holte didn't join in singing last night anyway so it was pointless the ones in the Upper even bothering

  12. 'We love you, we love you, we love you

    And that is why we follow, we follow, we follow

    Cause we support the Villa, the Villa, the Villa

    And thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it

    oooooooooo........'

    I know this has been posted on here before but we need to get this going. It would sound great and it's not hard to learn, also no other Premiership team sing it

  13. There are lots of very average teams who have players who can change a game in a flash. Kaka hasn't been anywhere near "top 5 in the world" in quite a while IMO. Maybe upwards of a year. He may well turn it around, but no team can survive as a one man unit, no matter how good that man is.

    They have a decent squad, but boy are they old. They should finish in the top 4 in Italy still I would think, but they won't get near the title. Liverpool are a good comparison, are Liverpool anything special?

    bang on with the Liverpool comparison. If we can beat Liverpool we can beat AC Milan. Maybe away in Milan is asking much. But I would relish them at home, especially with the crowd.

    although if that game does come around and I hear "shit on the city" I will go **** mental.

    It will be 'Are you watching Birmingham' in that game, when we're 3-0 up

  14. Good work but can't see the Holte End chavs picking up on anything more sophisticated than "Martin, give us a wave...".

    I always feel a little embarrassed at home games, but that's just me. I'm sure some will agree and disagree in equal measure.

    Help do something to change it then
