Wainy316 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not told but advised. Plus, the Trinity Road has the best view if they just want to watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 What so people should be told where to sit? Not as such, but they should be aware that if you go in the Holte, people are going to stand, sing, cheer, swear, shout etc. If they just want to sit and watch the match, and not be bothered by those things, then the Holte End isn't the place to be.

I'm not saying they are bothered by those things. I'm simply suggesting that a % of supporters probably like to sit and watch the game, rather than be orchestred by some bloke with a megaphone etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't think it's that VP is quiet, it's just that it's fairly empty. If we can get back to pushing for Europe spots then maybe it would be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 In the last 3 seasons we've won just 15 out of 57 home league games - if we have a crap atmosphere blame Lambert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Villa have played good possession football at home since probably the days of Brian Little or Big Ron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 In the last 3 seasons we've won just 15 out of 57 home league games - if we have a crap atmosphere blame Lambert. Assuming you are referring to 2011/12-2013/14, so you'd have to add McLeish in to the blame list. In that period we also scored just 65 goals at VP (1.1 per game), so not a lot to shout about their either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Happy to add in McLeish as he oversaw a third of those. When you have negative managers that don't inspire the crowd with the players they buy or the way they set up the team to play it's not a surprise that the atmosphere at games isn't what it used to be.

Kingman Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well if the players could play football and pass the **** ball to each other so the round thing ends up in the **** hole we might have something to make a **** noise about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Exactly. Were probably ranked bottom for the worst football at home in the league. Maybe burnley but we ain't far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 We must have the worse home form in the football league in the past 3 seasons without getting relegated, and chance to win games at a lower level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Add into that the ticket prices/parking/beer/burger and you realise were being completely ripped off. Hence why I'm sticking to my guns a bit and reluctantly staying away, let alone making any noise. The last 3 times I've been I've found myself as bored as I ever been watching football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Add into that the ticket prices/parking/beer/burger and you realise were being completely ripped off. Hence why I'm sticking to my guns a bit and reluctantly staying away, let alone making any noise. The last 3 times I've been I've found myself as bored as I ever been watching football. It's really bad, but yes, the petrol money the hours in a car, the cost of the tickets with 'that' style of clueless football on offer make it a bit of a stay away for me. This season could potentially be the first in 20 or so years where I don't go to a single game. Lerner's new era has seen me go from 'needing' a season ticket to probably not bothering to turn up to a single game. £40 / £50 on petrol £55 / £60 on a couple of tickets, another £25 / £30 for some parking, a programme and food for two of us and all of a sudden that very dull football (surrounded by people clearly not enjoying themselves) looks like an expensive waste of 9 hours of my life and £130 / £140. I've spent that in the past and I'm no financially worse off now than then, but the crap on offer whilst surrounded by people moaning about the crap on offer has tipped the scales. It's actually got to the point where twice this year I've been shopping in the bullring on a match day. Which must mean it ain't the time and it ain't the petrol money. For that, I blame the whole current set up, from the Premier League, the owner, the manager, the players that earn tens of thousands a week and can't pass a **** ball.

Risso Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I get the odd marketing call from the club every now and again asking about tickets for upcoming games and the like. They always sound wearily resigned when I tell them I'll not be back in the forseeable future, like they've heard it a million times before.

Zatman Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 home record has been poor for a while. Last time we won 10 home games in a season was 2007/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 We have been utter cack at home since MON left, its no suprise the atmosphere is poor at Villa. We play some of the worst football in the legue, barely any goals, barley any shots on target and we spend 65% of the match without having the ball. It's bloody awaful watching us at Villa park apart from maybe 3/4 times a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
