And a third of the season was behind closed doors. Really it was only the night games like Everton and Watford that stand out for me. That Everton game was unreal, and we're very unlikely to better it in a standard league game unless it's a match that qualifies us for Europe. It was the pure **** relief at finally being back and winning in the top flight. You're not going to get that passion 19 home games a year. It was one of the very best atmospheres I've ever seen at VP in my life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 16, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2022 The problem with metal really is that it's a bit niche and, well...a bit shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Didn’t think the atmosphere was too bad on Saturday, not great but it’s been far worse. I was mainly happy they’ve ditched Sweet Caroline, that has well and truly had its day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we actually get to the point of pushing for Europe I can't see the atmosphere reaching those levels in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) The music through the tannoy system was so loud again on Saturday it was utterly ridiculous. You can't even hear yourself sing, trying to whip up an atmosphere is pretty impossible with the music blaring out.

It makes for an amazing atmosphere because everyone is pissed up and letting loose after a tough week at work. Nothing to do with fan and manager as captain.

We got demolished by Leeds and Bamford on a Friday night. Also narrowly lost to United on New Year's day on a Friday. Same season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s alcohol related personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Gerarrd is really killing the atmosphere. The footballs not exciting the fans and you can tell how flat villa parks got. We use to get bettee atmosphere jn the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) That was one of the best atmospheres we’ve had in a long time. It’s that old adage does effort come from the crowd or does the crowd entice the effort. Either way, if we can be like that every week I’m sure teams won’t want to come here.

It's funny how we can be a better more vocal crowd when we're the underdog. Its games where we are evenly matched or expected to win that we're often quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Superb atmoshphere, the second half especially was electric, exactly what a full house at Villa Park should sound and feel like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
