Needs to be announced properly John Townley from the B'ham Mail has written two articles about the group, the second of which promotes the Bournemouth game plans, a fellow VT'er has kindly posted it in this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I thought the atmosphere was decent yesterday. Pre match it was loud but got drowned out by crazy train which has no relevance to the club . Don’t mind them keeping the fireworks and smoke but get rid of the music and let the fans do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yeah we don’t want any drums. Just flags, banners even balloons which I used to love seeing in the 90s. Hopefully it takes off. I think fan groups really need to push for crazy train to be stopped. Hi Ho Aston Villa is great , but leave it at that . Got no objection with the fireworks either . I was sat in K4 third row from the front yesterday and it was pretty good in terms of atmosphere . The Small Heath get battered chant seems to get most of the ground going I noticed yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I would say so first time I have noticed it probably because our fans up there sat down and away fans stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t Crazy Train just walk out music though? The team need something to walk out to, and CT is better than the old music. I don’t think Hi Ho is walk out music, just a pre and post match song. I noticed that the club played Hi Ho about 8 minutes before kick off on Saturday and then cut all noise, presumably to let fans generate their own atmosphere. It didn’t quite work as I don’t think anybody was expecting it and the silence was initally deafening. A couple of songs caught on eventually so they should probably keep doing it and see how it goes. It would help if all the drinkers didn’t stay in the concourses until the last available minute though. Things that I think the club do well- I know they’re not to everyone’s taste but I really like the big screen goal complications, “Giant is wake” video and the dark lion. Not sold on the fireworks and flames for every single match, prefer for just night games and big games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
