avfc1982am Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Du du du....Schmeichel is a clearing in a Scandinavian pine forest...... I thought as it was on Weds, second half the atmosphere was tip top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Had to give up my ticket today (gutted) but atmosphere sounded class on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not at the level to how it was under Smith during that first season back in the Prem. Reason to that is I still feel a good portion of the fanbase has not taken to Gerrard yet, and that's disappointing if true. Calls atmosphere “decent” but not great based on tv audio and then goes on to criticise a portion of the fan base for not taking to a new manager based on absolutely nothing. Keep up the hard work villalad21. Must be difficult when we’re winning games but there’s always something isn’t there. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thought it was loud in parts, quiet in others. The decision just before half time and the way they showed it on the screen really turned things for me. I think we all felt aggrieved and you could see the players react in the same way. That's what changed the crowd for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Huge credit to the Holte End for rattling Schmeichel today. The doo doo doo, Schmeichel is a rocket polisher was coming through loud and clear on the Sky coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make villa park as hostile as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Its harder to generate an atmosphere when you have less of the ball even being the home side which was the case in the first half. In the second the team set it up and the crowd responded. About 5 years ago this would have had a crowd of about 32,000 so we are heading the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thought the atmosphere was decent considering it was a late Sunday afternoon KO. The first half weren’t great performance wise and we went 1.0 down. Much better second half and with the disallowed goal it stirred the fans up more. Sometimes it only takes a bad refereeing decision to get the crowd going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it so much more uncomfortable for the opposition. Also I think it would help if villa park had the fans closer to the pitch. Behind both goals there’s a decent gap from the playing surface to the stands. The closer the fans the more intimidating it could be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair when you put it like that you can see their concerns Doug. Since reading this I initially turned teetotal. However I read it again this morning and the full horror of it made me reach for the bottle. It’s now just after 10am and I’m halfway down my second bottle of scotch. It’s cold and wet outside but that won’t stop me going out and giving that imaginary penalty spot on the lawn a bloody good seeing to by lunchtime!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is one match that always sticks in my mind as the best atmosphere ever. The Inter players were totally blown away, and should have lost by a greater margin than the 2-0 final score. The noise came from all four stands in unison that night, it was immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trinity was rocking which it always did for the big games . If I remember right was the holte still being built ? Can’t remember if it had actually fully opened. Their keeper at the time was Pagluica who’s a big villa fan . Makes you wonder if he became a villa fan after that night at villa park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if he became a villa fan after that night at villa park I think we have confused matches. I think the match you are talking about the second Inter game with Bergkamp etc. I think I have got my dates wrong and that I am thinking of the first Inter match with Klinsmann, Mattheaus and Brehmer back in the Josef Venglos days, not long after Italia 90. My memory is hazy, but I think it might have been first year back in Europe for English clubs, and the atmosphere for that was even better than the re-match a few years later. Both matches were great atmopsheres though, with the re-match having a far happier outcome. We were cheated badly by a dodgy ref in the return leg at The San Siro, with their second goal being a yard off the pitch before they scored, as well as the ref blowing for a foul whenever we won the ball off Inter. (I still haven't got over that game if you can't tell ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
