maqroll Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I still think Stand By Me could work as an anthem, like our YNWA. Edited October 18, 2021 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a new song They have a version but think it came after ours. A lot of clubs have one now, I think the tune was sang more on the continent and then Liverpool and Rangers were the first to bring it to these shores.

sharkyvilla Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It was really, really quiet today, even when we were in the game and giving it a good go with 10 men. The lockdown seems to have killed off the atmosphere almost everywhere whenever I watch a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa4europe Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 After 5 minutes you could hear the west ham fans with shall we sing a song for you Villa fans at their worst, moaning before a ball was kicked and it carries through to the stadium It will never change, either everything is going brilliantly and the place rocks or the moaning and nervous negative energy comes out VP is not a good stadium during a poor patch of form, our fans are negative and expect the worst, always have been 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Dog shit past couple of games, half 4 sunday kick off, 1 nil down after 5 mins, concede 5 mins after getting back into game, abysmal first half.....not sure of anywhere generates an atmosphere with that mix Edited October 31, 2021 by slowandlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There were a few half-arsed rounds of Allez-Allez after Watkins hit the bar, but for the vast majority of the game we were silent. The team has to offer something to cheer about, sure, I get that. But when the fans get behind the lads and make some serious noise, it does help raise the performance. We’re not the best of fans sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rugeley Villa Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 Very much like Everton fans. On our day we are immense but most of the time it’s negative energy even when we aren’t doing so bad. Very expectant fan base. Most fan bases are like that , especially the bigger self entitled clubs. Always been the same . Must admit 4.30 kick offs on Sunday’s are dog shit for atmosphere . 1 down after 5 mins and a shite run doesn’t help . It’s more productive to get behind your team rather than against, mind, but people pay their money and also give their time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans could get behind the team and roar them on, you know, being the twelfth man, like the banner says. It's easy being the extra man when the team is winning. I'm loathe to criticise the fans too much when I couldn't be bothered to go, but to be honest, the shit, negative experience at VP is one of the reasons I don't bother going much, it's a depressing place much of the time unless the team is smashing it. People are far quicker to jeer and boo than they are to encourage and cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fanbase won't have the same dynamic as a Norwich or a Burnley. It will never happen. Will always be expectations and a form of entitlement because of what they have achieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 31, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2021 Strange one today - it was quiet for long periods, but it was y'know, your actual quiet - there wasn't a great deal of negativity - a little in the first half when the crowd wanted the ball played forward, but very little in the second half - with a good rendition of Allez, allez, allez after the fourth West Ham goal and gentle applause for the players after the final whistle. It seemed like a crowd that was nervous, but not wanting to pass on a negative energy - a crowd that sat on their hands rather than demotivate the team. It wasn't quiet that was punctured with shouts of "You're sh** [insert player name]" or "Sort it out Dean" or booing or any of that, it was just...quiet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 31, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2021 Also, a mention for the minutes silence - there was a fan or two, I think outside the ground, and I think West Ham, but might have been ours - singing loudly during the silence, presumably without realising - it carried on for about thirty seconds and was a touch disappointing. A booming voice from the Upper Holte suddenly shouted "F***ing shut up!" and it was silenced. I mean, it detracted from the occasion slightly, but it was beautifully done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
