Brigada made a lot of enemies within our (unfortunately still substantial) neanderthal element with their anti-fascist stance and were effectively banned from attending Villa Park while Lerner was still in charge. A few of the lads still go to the games, just not as an organised group. Always found B6 Project pretty cringy tbh, crowdfunding to get banners printed, it's always felt a bit plastic to me. Not sure why they've given up, but they only ever got a lukewarm reception from the fans in general IMO Edited March 14 by icouldtelltheworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is real, then that whoever wrote that should be sacked. Unless they did raise it at a more senior level and that was a polite way of saying that Heck and co don’t want to know… in which case Heck and co should be sacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wainy316 Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 I’m as critical of our atmosphere as anyone but I actually thought it was okay tonight 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 14 Moderator Share Posted March 14 I thought it was good tonight - the opening ten minutes especially were really loud and we didn't hear a peep out of Ajax from the far end of the Doug Ellis until after half an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan-scott Posted March 14 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 14 I was in the Lower Holte and thought the atmosphere was brilliant. Didn’t stop singing all night pretty much! And was loud! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Shocked by the comments that it was quiet. Certainly by far and away the best atmosphere since City & Arsenal at home. Couldn't tell you the last time I stood all game in the upper Holte either (if ever & I've sat there for over 5 years now). The safe standing can't come soon enough tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Another nod to the L8 side of the Lower Holte - they were fantastic all game, didn't stop singing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Was class in the lower North with Ajax singing "don't worry about a thing", and us singing it back to them when 4 nil up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 15 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15 I was in Upper Trinity and I heard a girl behind say ‘people don’t sing much here’ but it was probably the loudest I’ve heard the U T for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I thought t sound good. To clarify, my partner saw the first 15 mins of the second half when Ajax were growing into the game and VP did go a bit quiet during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I think it would be really good in a couple of the home games we have in the run in for Mings and or Buendia to come out onto the pitch say 10 mins before kick off and say a few words to the fans. That would create a real atmosphere and togetherness for those key fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in row 27 Upper Holte K5 and NEVER sit during a game, just feels wrong. I become much more engaged with the game whilst standing compared to sitting, mind you I feel knackered after the final whistle - feel like I have played for 90 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the double post but for those who are interested I believe the meeting has occurred and gone well, but as @OutByEaster? I'm sure will back me up on as a regular FAB meeting attendee, no details or minutes can be released until the club say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, on this one I have no idea - it was a meeting for the club with a specific group and the FAB weren't involved. The meeting that the FAB had scheduled with the club on 27th has been postponed and I'm not sure if this one went ahead either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
