I watched on Sky and kept thinking that the sound was going up and down, sometimes even when nothing much happened but the sound went higher. Then, when Villa attacked or did something good, it was strangely low. Without doubt, they didn't do that game justice last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I get pitch invasions when you haven’t reached Wembley or had any success for years. Or if you’re small club with a big scalp. Bur we’ve been too Wembley for the past 2 seasons. Yesterday was all a bit silly and unnecessary really.

I've sent a post on there site because of what happened to Maddison, I don't want Leicester fans thinking were all a bunch of idiots because it shouldn't of happened. I mean it could of been worse what happened to Maddison. Its no difference to what Jack went through with that idiot from city when he was sent flying, our fans should of known better than to pull something like that off, we had won though. I bet there's nothing more scarier to opposition players when a home crowd come invading the pitch, you just don't know what's going to happen and at anytime someone could be killed. Whoever are the ones who pushed Maddy over, they need to be dealt with by Aston Villa and the club need to show them there is no room for that behaviour, they have probably ruined future pitch invasions. We could be deducted points for that behaviour as well could we not??? If we go down because of fans, god help them, I would not want to be those fans who screwed up premier survival dreams for a club. Points deduction for a cup semi final, can’t see it myself. Idiots though for getting involved with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the fact the fans attacked Maddison, not controlling our fans is one thing but when players start getting hurt you just never know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can expect some heavy punishment, and I couldn't blame them. Repeat offenders for this kind of thing. Leicester supporting friend of mine said that both Vardy and Maddison were pushed to the ground. Absolutely no need for it. I was a bit embarrassed to see the supporters 3 deep at the end of the lower tiers waiting for the final whistle so they could storm the pitch. As has been said before, we're not a small club and we're not starved of Wembley visits. It shouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyvilla Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Maybe we should just behave like man city and not celebrate at all , lets get it in perspective , leicester fans were fighting with the police , man city and man u throwing chairs at each other , but we make the headlines. In other news when Shrewsbury celebrated a draw the same way , it was labelled as great scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they must be playing with some new auto adjusting technology so not to drown out the commentators, but it just made it sound weird.

redacted20230530 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think the North Stand should be demolished and replaced with a curved "echo wall" that would allow sound to reverberate around the stadium. It would need to be designed by an acoustic engineer, connecting the Trinity Road and DE stands. It would be stylish and unique.. perhaps made from red brick, steel, glass and/or plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be unique. It would leave us with the slight problem of where we'll fit the people that have already struggled to get into Villa Park this season. I don't know if you've noticed, but we've sold out every single home game and have 7,000 people on a waiting list for season tickets. Removing 8,000 seats doesn't seem to me to be the best way forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing 8,000 seats doesn't seem to me to be the best way forward. I actually hadn't, my apologies. In which case, the options seem to be demolishion and replacement (my preference), or expressing even greater support for safe standing. The seats are rather narrow in the North, like the away section at the the KC, so it seems logical to gut them at the very least, when safe standing gets the green light.

Sadly, there's so little profit in additional seating that it's unlikely we'll see a redevelopment any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
