Rarely do you see all 4 stands signing as one. Absolutely brilliant atmosphere. That was some Copa Libertadores stuff last night. For about a minute at the end I stopped singing and just stood there watching and listening. I genuinely welled up. I half expected Ray Liotta to walk out of the tunnel with James Earl Jones and Kevin Costner. Edited August 24, 2019 by Brumerican 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's rocking it's like no place I have ever been. It also has something that 99% of other clubs don't have, we have a ground that literally breaths history, there were Holte Enders in the Sky, for which there are many that had a twinkle last night. The 12th man, played well I thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Yeah took my daughter to her first game yesterday and she was so excited with the singing and atmosphere. Stayed for about ten minutes afterwards for the HI Hi and sweet Caroline. Was absolutely glorious. The holte was awesome, but as others have said itbseemedt like all four stands. Was epic Even Jamie carragher made a point of mentioning it at full time Edited August 24, 2019 by ramshackler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 From the 70 min mark when it looked like Everton May come back at us, the volume just got better and better. And not the crap “come on villa” it was Allez allez and the players. It was spine tingling. I stayed after for a bit and the noise was still going. Then when I was walking across Aston manor park, it was still going and you could hear it echoing around. Love it like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 When Everton fans say they havnt heard anything like that in long time in Premier for long time, it's something that isn't heard as much anymore, then we know we have something special going on, keep it up all season fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Villa Park under the lights and rocking, really is a beautiful sight. I also don’t think it’s arrogant to say that we are a real deal Premier League club and few of the 19 other clubs in this league can’t say the same. The sound coming across to TV last Friday night was immense. Genuine question - which grounds/fans match us for noise and overall atmosphere, especially night games? Can't think of many.

Killeen30 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The atmosphere on Friday night against Everton was electric. Every fan there should be proud of themselves, it helps the team massively! UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nick76 Posted August 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Friday was still magical, it wasn’t forced, it wasn’t set up, just 40k Villa fans starting to believe again and falling in love with our club again. End of last season was the dating, playoff final was the third date evening special and Friday we realised we were in love and told the whole world. My 40 year love affair of the Villa has had highs and lows....Friday was certainly a high. I know there will be more highs to come and more lows throughout the rest of my life but Friday will be a game I remember just like those other special games down the years. What’s more it was just a regular season game, not a final or a local rival game but there was something special to it. One thing I think we all should remember though, this doesn’t mean we are back, it means we got 3 points. We could just as easily lose the next 5 league games so we need to enjoy the night and memories but remember this is marathon not a sprint. We get high because the atmosphere of the game but not too over the top about the result, just as we shouldn’t get too disheartened or abusive if we lose some games. Target is 40 points, we are 3 points closer to that. Bring this atmosphere to each game and the 40 points is more than achievable. Embrace and enjoy what Friday was, it was amazing...we are all in this together...owners, management, team and fans, and that’s how we’ll survive this season. We celebrate together, we commiserate together. We finally have a connection between fans and the club, it’s going to be a hard season, let’s stick together and as fans let’s bring that atmosphere to every game because we are the 12th man.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Friday/Saturday evening games will always be the loudest as everyone’s pissed up. The last time I heard an atmosphere like that was when we beat Wolves 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
