In addition, I thought the encouragement from the PA system starting HEITS at kick off was a good touch and got it going from the off, hope that continues! The bit right before KO was fine but in general they'd be better off turning the entire PA system off, it's killing the build up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxlad Posted September 2, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hibs fans were great but there has been a real sea change in scotland after the UB at Rangers and GB at Celtic. Fans from other clubs have seen (Or should i say heard) how those groups have transformed the atmosphere. So now there are groups popping up everywhere in Scotland, Hibs having their own, Hears, Aberdeen and many more. Of course it helps that the clubs seem much more open and relaxed about groups of lads getting together, here I'd imagine they'd be a lot of opposition within the clubs. Plus theres still a weird attitude to 'ulra groups' or 'Supporter groups' in England. But its been brilliant north of the boder.

spiezels Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Atmospheres in the prem in general could be better for sure. Would be well behind something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Well I wasn’t able to go to the game today so I got Villa to give my ticket to my brother. I watched the game online and I can understand why those that don’t watch live think the atmosphere at Villa Park is crap. I spoke to my brother after the game and I asked him about the atmosphere and our experiences today was very different re that. Definitely the crowd mic’s are in the wrong places because we sounded dead all game online and I know that wasn’t the case. Somebody should fix that. Will put fans meeting thread!

Demitri_C Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Atmosphere was good today esp after the goal. Villa park was fierce and thats what we need to make villa park like What was really pleasing for me today was even when were losing the moaning and groaning wasnt happening like the says in the past. That can only be a good thing! Well done to everyone there today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm back attending games at Villa Park this season after a couple years away and honestly I still think the atmosphere is one of the worst in the league. Was pretty much silent at 0-0, got quite rough at 1-0 down and then it kicked into life when we went 1-1 and obviously the 2 following goals. The whole players need to give us something excuse is a massive cop out. Villa Park atmosphere is just generally quite rubbish with a sprinkling of special games.

It's Your Round Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It did sound really quiet on telly. First half all I could hear was Palace singing “football in a library”. The difference after our first goal was immense, the volume went up a few levels and the songs came out. “You only sing when you’re winning” is the phrase, I wish it wasn’t always the case for Villa. It’s hard when the game feels flat though, I’ve been at Villa Park countless times where you want to get behind the team but it’s quiet, and hard to get things going without the players inspiring it on the pitch. The thing is though, the fans can get the players going too. They say it all the time, a rocking Villa Park inspires them and fires them up. It needs to happen more. Easy for me to say sat at home, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the mics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
