best Holte End memories - standing

[ZhongYi]

did a search before this to check but hey what are you best memories / recollections or anecdotes from standing in the Holte End?

I went to a game after work in 1988 against Ipswich and had a bag with my work boots and tools in it then after a knees up / disco / mental rendtion some guy said to me "what the fuck you got in that bag mate?"

another one was a game in about 1988 when a large % of the Holte just hummed Villa, Villa, Villa, Villa  for about 75 of the 90. Very unique.

took a gf in to the Holte during summer time in 1992 we was allowed in by workers only just went up to top left she was looking down and overawed.

makes you proud to support ASTON VILLA

I twisted my ankle celebrating us beating Tranmere in the semi final on the right side of the Holte End in pain and having to hobble home I didn't care I was just happy and countless other memories I could write a book about all my times standing in the Holte End happy beautiful days and nights and some not so good.

Standing on a milk crate as a kid and a phase sometimes in the late 80's where all kinds of inflatable objects were bounced around.  Felt a bit old when I not only had to explain to my young nephew what a milk crate was, but also what a milkman was!!

Must have got it mixed up with another game was definitely a good atmosphere though.

Kent Nielsen's goal against Inter. My mate disappeared about 10 yards away. It was half time before we could speak to eachother.

Tranmere penalties a different mate went as white as Casper the Ghost and couldn't watch the last 3 or 4 kicks. Just stood there with his back to the pitch.

The 7-1 was a half empty seated Holte.
