I don't think early kick offs help and that applies to all teams not just us. I'd say 90% of the early kick offs I've been to on a Saturday or Sunday the atmosphere hasn't been as good as a 3pm or later kick off and nowhere near a night game. You then add in the dire wet/grey weather which I also don't think helped. The game never really got going in the first half either aside from 3 or 4 decent breaks/moves by us so the atmosphere was never lifted/ignited by what happened on the pitch. Spurs support was really poor as well. Right at the beginning the Holte (and Trinity) was trying but the flipping tannoy music was drowning us out. It's THE most annoying thing about matchdays, they need to sort it cos it puts people off trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City this season was purely because we dominated from minute one. The half time ovation was one of the loudest I've ever heard. I think max effort from players helps too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 From his Ajax press conference: Quote Unai Emery on the importance of playing at Villa Park: "It's very, very, important. "The supporters are excited and motivated, like me, and like the players, to be in Europe. "We have to try to connect with them, transmitting their energy."

Chasetown Villa Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Why can’t the money used to fund these shite light shows be given to Project B6 or the 1874 group for flags/tifos/banners etc. Honestly think the light show is a load of bollocks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The light shows against Sheffield United and Newcastle just went so well we must do another one. I really don't get them. They are shit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Indeed, it is curious. Of course there could be two sides to it as with everything else. I am just linking to what project B6 are saying themselves and it sort of fits with how I generally feel about the direction of things off the pitch over the past year or so.

Appreciate it, I've no problem with the B6 or the Brigada projects, it's a shame the club don't support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I know many here disagree with me, and I get a fair bit of ridicule about how I feel about certain things off the pitch, but when a club sort of shows disdain for its own fans it never ends well.

We've got 3 threads in Future Brand Identity, Villa Park redevelopment, and here, where the recurring theme is either confusion due to poor comms (Club Badge and Villa Park Redevelopment) or just open dismissal of fan opinion altogether (Club Badge and the Atmosphere). Shows the magnitude of the issue. It's not ideal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that we are too big to been seen as a small 'family' club, but not at the slick all-conquering super size uber club stage yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
