Supporters are again being encouraged to gather on Trinity Road and by the William McGregor statue for the team bus's arrival at 6.30pm for the Chelsea game on Saturday. I really love this and it sets the tone, I'm hoping Saturday will top Bournemouth atmosphere wise and will be more hostile for Chelsea with it being an 8pm Saturday KO.

100% win record when we do this! Long may it continue!

Thanks @Brumstopdogs for sharing the footage, it was a brilliant day and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive and hopefully the 1897 Group helped to enhance the atmosphere from their section. Thanks for all the support, hopefully this is just the start!

Great to hear, I'm biased but I think it really did help enhance it and made for a fantastic atmosphere today right from the welcoming of the team bus to the final whistle, well done troops!

Spot on, I think our European adventurers this season have opened our eyes a bit. Legia Warsaw, Ajax, Lille away have all shown us how modern stadia can be conducive to a stadium-wide constant and electric atmosphere for 90 minutes including fans of all ages.

If it's anything like the Brighton game at the end of last season, your nephew will remember it for many years to come, crossing my fingers!

Brilliant, should set the tone for an electric atmosphere that is needed to give the players a boost and hopefully get them over the line for a huge three points.

In response to Emi's post-match interview calling on the fans to help lift the team tomorrow and in addition to The 1897 Group's presence, the club in their matchday info have promoted supporters to gather in the Trinity Road fanzone tomorrow for the team bus's arrival at 1.30pm to give the players a raucous welcome to the stadium: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/20/Matchday-Guide--Aston-Villa-v-Bournemouth/ Tomorrow should be electric!!!

This is why The 1897 Group needs all the support from you guys as we can get, starting Sunday as we have our own section in block P9 as I've mentioned in this thread. Is it going to be like a Fenerbahce home crowd? No, of course not. But it's a start, and it's for like-minded fans who think this way such as yourself, we implore all Villa fans to join/support us. Dibu has called on the home fans to bring the noise on Sunday as we'll need to give the exhausted lads a boost to help get them over the line! Join The 1897 Group in blocks P9-P11!

I love Kadikoy too, but God knows what it would be like as an Englishman when Fenerbahce are playing the Villa!!

Hopefully The 1897 Group who will be based in the Upper Doug Ellis can help with this, we'll need to help boost our exhausted squad!

That's the idea, most of our lot (I had to miss this round out for financial and annual leave protection reasons) are out in Lille and do most aways and anyone joining knows its to sing your lungs out and get behind the team for 90 minutes regardless. If people want to moan about certain players or about not getting it forward quick enough etc then stay where you are!
