Rugeley Villa Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 6 hours ago, gilbertoAVFC said: Hard disagree. They usually only sing "EV-ER-TON" and boo. Genuinely one of the most whiny fanbases in the league imo and I'm a Villa fan (I suppose you guess that tbf) Very passionate and loyal . Goodison Park on its day a very hard place to go to because the fans really get on top of you. They have got a reputation for what you say but so have we.

rodders0223 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 So at half time now you don't have to hit the smallest target in the world to win a season ticket or whatever or your height in beers.

It's Your Round Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 How many reward points does it cost to enter? It reminded me of the pointlessness of winning a lucky dip on the Lotto. But also like something straight out of Craggy Island Funland, from Father Ted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2023 great atmosphere today. asked the same after the last time we played sat 12.30 after a great performance vs newcastle though, why did so many leave early? i get it, no trains, but for early kick offs what are you in a rush to get home for? i totally get it for any other kick off time but surely not for 12.30 games everyone's circumstances are different, and i'm trying my best not to judge, but few players stayed out after final whistle i thought and i wonder if it was because they wanted a bigger crowd to celebrate the win with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I was sat in the Trinity today, B5 just above the press desks. It was one of the best Trinity atmospheres I’ve experienced to be fair, certainly in the last few times I’ve sat there. You usually get a few funny looks when you join in chants in the Trinity, but plenty of people were singing today, and only small amounts of moaning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentary team led by @lapal_fan I will refrain from making any sort of excuse about my performance in the above...and instead simply mention how I ended up being able to kick a ball on the pitch. Yes it was indeed via villa reward points. It was the last home game of the season, and finding I hadn't used any points all season, I thought, why not. It was the play off semi v Boro btw. I thought maybe I got picked as there were fewer people who had points left to use, and therefore less competition for the spots. It was also an additional home game at the end of the season of course. They whipped me away from my seat as soon as the half time whistle went, down the lift from the upper holte, and on to the pitch. As it happens a guy I work with and who has done various jobs at VP over the years - tour guide, flag waver, Hercules suit wearer, compere - was down there that night and told me specifically to aim somewhat right. I ignored that completely and went wayyy too left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
