A bit odd to proclaim yourself as an ultra dedicated obsessed fan group then just disappear Thats them Brigada 1874...I thought they was called the dougal fusiliers, don't know where i got that from, I think it was in their chant. It was a great little group of fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that the atmosphere in those 93 minutes was affected by the goals that hadn't happened yet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Started following Project B6 on Twitter. What a super initiative and fair play to those involved for volunteering their time to try and make Villa Park look and feel better on matchday. If people get behind them it would be great to see some of their suggested displays become a reality. There's a Paul McGrath one I saw that would be a favourite of mine..would be even better if we could invite him over to the game where we choose to display it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dubious goal and then a goal that doesn't happen without the prior dubious goal at that. Absolutely mad to call it a battering. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair comment.....but there was huge swathes of the game where Arsenal occupied our territory.....that may have affected the atmosphere. They dominated the ball, and that can have a nervy/ edgy effect on the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Some of the tifo ideas PB6 have posted today give me goosebumps. I know it's illegal at the moment but imagine these on a big European night at VP with claret and blue smoke filling the air! I've donated again, the more fan-funded displays the better in my opinion! Project B6 website for fan donations 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2023 Throw a few beach balls into the stands, have an area at Villa Park where our fans who travel away are situated close to each other , once one area starts singing its infectious. Speed the bar service up before kick off and at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The first two banners for anyone under the age of 35 would have no clue what they are on about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think that anyone under the age of 35 has no idea about Paul McGrath & Atkinson's goal vs Wimbledon? Not sure about that. And if they don't, so what? FWIW, I think they look absolutely incredible. Edited March 10, 2023 by Milfner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you're wrong on this one, all Villa fans are born with an innate talent for historical knowledge. The noses said so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wear a winter coat, no need to do anything more to get the sense that something special is happening here. On a serious note, if it was up to me, Villa Park would look like a massive claret and blue smoke filled drum beating flag waving army. I don't understand the opposition to doing something extra within one stand. If you don't like it, just sit in the upper trinity, have your pie and sit down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m under 35 (for the next few months at least ). Paul McGrath is the reason I support this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we going to make a big statement then why don't we look forward to the future for once, rather than memories that are over 30 years old? We constantly get criticized that we are living in the past by other supporters. This would be the equivalent of having a big banner of Peter McParland in the mid 90's.
