Popular Post AVFCRAMTIN Posted August 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) After my long trip from Sweden I finally got here! I was looking forward to my first visit at the Holte End and boy was it great! Have to be one of the greatest days in my life! Singing all the Villa songs, calling the referee a wan*** and just enjoying the atmosphere! As if that wasn't enough, managed to fill my autograph book with every players autograph (besides Zog who raced out from the parking) and get to meet Fabian Delph, my favorite player! Thank you Aston Villa and every player for this great experience, till next time! Edited August 23, 2014 by AVFCRAMTIN 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Makes me remember my first time at Villa Park. We won 2-1 vs Spurs. McGrath who was my idol scored and Dwight Yorke got the winner. Good times! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Don't know about any other homegrown Villa fans but this kind of story fills me with absolute pride. Why should this lad support the Villa over any other English club? Don't know the answer and couldn't care. I'm glad to have you part of the Villa family mate. Glad the players/occasion lived up to your expectations. Up the Villa!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great experience. It's one thing to see it on TV, but to get off the train and walk to the ground, and then up the ramp to see the pitch...nothing quite like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You must be buzzing. Reading this brings back memories of my visit to see the New York Mets after 8 years of following them from a distance. The whole day was just a blur and I had a massive grin on my face the whole day. As I am sure you did 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AVFCRAMTIN Posted August 23, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thank you everyone! As soon as I got off the taxi and saw the Holte End entrance I just stood there smiling like a fool, I love this club and I know better times (even if it takes som time) are coming! Up the villa and thank you once more for this opportunity! Cheers for the support in this thread as well! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have fond memories of my only visit. 1-0 down at half time to a Owen goal for Newcastle. Quiz question flashed up on the board, "Who scored the last league hat-trick for Villa at home?" Answer: Savo Milosevic vs Coventry 1995. I joked to my mate that someone would score a hat-trick in the second half and we'd win. Step up John Carew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I remember my first game as it was the last game before the old Holte was refitted. May 7 1994, Villa v Liverpool. Liverpool were up 0-1 at half-time before a young Dwight Yorke came off the bench to score a brace and win us the match. He was my hero after that day. The best bit was that it was my older brother's first game too and he's a Liverpool fan, so beating his team made victory all the more sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So jealous! Someday I will make the pilgrimmage, until then I will just have to enjoy reading about others' visits. Glad you had a great time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
