The Eye of the Tiger on repeat whilst showing re-runs of Rocky on the big screen.

I agree, but whole soundtrack to Rocky IV, Joe Esposito class....ahem.
On another note, has anyone seen the painting in the lower Holte of Tony Barton and Dennis Mortimer? I don't think it was there vs Chelsea, but saw it on Sun. It looks like something from the side of a house in Belfast.

Or how about turning the music off and letting the crowd create the atmosphere.........

Here here.  Turn the TVs off 5 mins before KO and let the crowd create some noise.

I would agree on the music being turned off and the crowd creating atmosphere but we don't tend to do it.

The Ajax fans singing to 3 little birds is very impressive.

On the televisions, what about ticket and travel info for forthcoming matches, etc?

How about suggesting some songs that would get the same reaction from us then as a singalong, just a thought.

That's been there about 5/6 years.

How about a live CCTV feed from the road where I park my car so I can see if the lad who has money off me really does stand there and guard it while I'm in the ground.
You know, I'm not convinced he does.

I agree with those who say turn it off. Turn it all off and take it all out
I know it wont happen but I would like to go back to the good old days where the crowd did or did not create any atmosphere, and without someone shouting down the tannoy trying to tell us how to support the team.
Big games you can have a marching band on the pitch, Arsenal used to have a singing policeman accompanying a police band.
And while we are at, put the old alphabet boards up for the half times. Tell the club it will increase programme sales because you need the programme for the alphabet key.
And stop wearing replica shirts, why do you need a shirt? your not playing today are you ?
A woolen claret and blue square scarf and a bobble hat is all you need to show your allegiance.

Aston Villa are one of the founding members of the oldest league in the world and a traditional club.
Get back to traditonal values and presentation, and win lose or draw we will all enjoy ourselves a lot more.
