tomav84 Posted November 28, 2011 VT Supporter Posted November 28, 2011 Not sure if this should have belong in main villa page but just seen some quotes on swansea forum about us on sunday. was nice to read Got to say well done to the villa fans today, for starting applause for Gary speed earlier,thought it was very fitting for such a great football man.R.I.P Gary Speed. IMO, best we have had for a few seasons. Deep respect to the "Villans" who started the applause and to all their fans who joined us singing/ chanting "one Gary Speed". Agree their team just tried to clog us on the pitch, but their fans are good as gold off it and their club should be proud of them. I am, as are many Swans fans. Top notch club, with top notch fans Best supporters we've had down here this season. New found respect for Villa fans today
Ingram85 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Great to read, well done to those who went to the game and gave us a good name.
dudevillaisnice Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Don't mind Swansea myself.. hope they stay up.
islingtonclaret Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 It's good to finally see a Welsh team in the Prem. I wish them all the best, well done our fans for showing the respect the occasion deserved.
VillaAndLoyal Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 That's great to read and I echo the comments. Our fans were fantastic yesterday, as were Swansea's.
ED Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Why did we start clapping during the minute silence?
rjenkins Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 It just kind of caught on to be honest. There was a group a good few rows behind me and they seemed intent on applauding Speed's life rather than just mourning it. Some were clapping as soon as the whistle went, and we were all singing One Gary Speed with the Swans fans to our left even before the kick-off. I was worried at the time how it might make us look, especially on TV, but it seems the Jacks appreciated it.
AValon Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Respect for fellow supporters grief does'nt cost anything. Well done to those who represented our club accordingly.......nice one.
