WHY Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 11 hours ago, ferguson1 said: Yesterday, I actually think the atmosphere was still a little off, especially the early second half period, but boy from about 60/65 minutes it was absolute lift off. The noise levels definitely transferred to the TV audience, like me. Probably the loudest it’s been since we played Everton at home on our return to the Premier League. I’m biased obviously but evening/night games at Villa Park can be some of the best spectacles and enjoyable atmospheres ever seen. Really is electric at times. The Friday night game in our first season back in the PL when we beat them 2-0 has been the best atmosphere since our return. Was electric that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 14 hours ago, StanBalaban said: It would have been Peter Drury and Matt Holland. Drury in particular said that he always considers it a privilege to come to Villa Park as it's the "embodiment of what English football should be about". I don't like Drury a lot of the time, but he was very complimentary to the stadium, crowd & club during the game. Sounds like he is a big Leon Bailey fan also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I don’t know if this will be controversial but I don’t like the ‘you sh*t b*st*rd ahhhh’ thing when the opposition keeper takes a kick… it just feels really ‘league one’, perhaps I’m on my own with that! (I don’t think we used to do that, it seems more recent?) Edited September 20, 2021 by alreadyexists 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get angry but I took a non villa fan with me. He’s smitten. You took a fella on a date to the cazoo Derby and now he's smitten with you, you needed 42000 villans to pull? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, I sort of remember us doing it… I think it is a bit naff, but if we’ve always done it then fair enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I remember it all of the time in the 80s and then it dies away for a while. I heard it made the odd comeback in some games I've seen but not that fussed about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2021 On 19/09/2021 at 00:06, OutByEaster? said: At a point in the second half today, a song started in the Upper Trinity. I mean it was Allez, allez, allez, but it started there in full voice and was then picked up by The Holte. I wonder if the Upper Trinity being the only area that isn't predominantly season ticket holders means there's a change in the demographic up there - there appear to be signs of life - similar in a way to when the Lower North became the cheapest part of the ground and underwent it's renaissance into the lovable angry terrier it is today. One to keep an eye on anyways. I was in the Upper Trinity on Saturday and it was absolutely buzzing. Lots of chanting and general noise. Absolutely bouncing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His old man is fuming Beat Man City at the end of November, Pep resigns in his post match interview and you won’t be able to move for Citeh fans in the club shop asking if we do px deals on nearly new Citeh shirts. They’ll all be on the train back to London in their new Villa shirts with their Citeh shirts in a Villa bag, moaning that they couldn’t do a swap. Those without new Villa shirts will be pleased that they’d kept their old United shirts and were going home to get changed before they went to the pub.

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just had a thought. Players like Ollie and Bertie and haven’t had a chance to celebrate a goal with the fans yet. Hope it’s soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been watching their games recently because they’re ALWAYS entertaining and tbf the atmosphere always sounds louder and more electric at Anfield than other grounds. Those two things are quite possibly interconnected though - crazy and entertaining games = electric atmosphere. Don’t they play “fan noise” through the tannoy to make it sound more electric atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
