A big well done to the lads and lasses in Lower Holte L2 today who getting fed up with the lack of noise got up off their arses and did something about it which got the whole of the Holte singing for the last 15 minutes of the match. Well done to one and all from those of us on the far side in L8, we salute you.
-
def respect too! good atmosphere built, but like through the middle eighties when some great songs were sung, through adversity brings strength
-
I'd echo that. We sit in the Lower North Stand and it felt like it was the first time this season that there was any noise at all from the Holte End. It reminded me of how it should be and how it was a few seasons back.
-
Honestly, from where I was - Mid Doug Ellis upper - the Holte End were massively outsung by the little kids over by the tunnel.
Maybe the Holte end sounded loud if you were in there.

No I heard them as well. Great to hear the Falsetto "Villa, Villa" again, not heard it for ages and still makes me laugh.
-
This.
They were quality with that constant, persistent "A.V.F.C" chant.
Even the Upper Holte joined in with it a couple of times, but it got sped up and fizzled out...
Upper Holte need to work on their timing and rhythm lol.
-
Maybe there is hope for the future. A few new voices to get the singing going - even if they are more Aled Jones than Vinnie Jones.
Maybe the Holte will be shamed into singing a bit more - now they have been outsung by the kids round the tunnel!
-
Who are these kids by the tunnel you speak of?
Bridga 1874?
Or actual little kids?
-
The AVFC chant was all down to a big bloke a couple of rows in front of us, he just kept at it & eventually everyone was singing it, we stood up for the last 15-20 minutes, the best atmosphere we've experienced for a while, even if the team played a load of shite
and when will they stop ringing that f*!king stupid funeral bell >:(
-
it was great to see the couple of fans dedication leading up to all the fans realising that they should sing, a good 5 minuites before anyone realised lol, i get annoyed that we make an effort to get the bells are ringing chant sang again, i love the chant but still knowbody sings it i think its because they dont know the words but they are the famous holte enders they should learn the lyrics! am i the only one who wants it sang? im starting to think that.... :-\
-
Yeah, I sit in L4 and it was a great effort but that group. Shame Bent didn't put the one on one away infront of a fully-standing lower Holte.
-
kevin the guy with the whistle that used to entertain us in the lower north was back and even though he was under the away fans yesterday he managed to get the lower north singing again!
-
Just mentioned the same thing on the post match thread. It seemed to wake everyone up when most of us had forgotten we were at a match.
-
Respect to those guys who stuck with it till the rest of the lower finally joined in. Bodes well for liverpool.
Wolfy was down there yesterday too !

I hate the bells are ringing & I hated it in the 80s too
Ring of fire intro followed by AVFC is much better 8)
-
Was a bit like Bolton three years ago when some well known supporters in one of the voices boxes cheerlead the Holte
Well done the family section too, reminded me of that famous Bounemouth clip on youtube
-
It was brilliant to hear and to join in with, but for the first time ever at a Villa game I couldn't be arsed to be there. It was almost as if my mood was mirroring the players or visa-versa.
Definitely need a good atmosphere against Liverpool and I'm moving seats because I have had enough of sitting and listening to the complete and utter rubbish that comes out of the blokes mouth that sits next to me and the two idiots behind. Anyone know if I'll have to pay extra to move from lower holte to upper?
-
Depends what category you are but if you move to any of the centre blocks of upper it is more expensive. Or the wings of upper are the same as wings of lower, which are both cheaper than the central lower....where do you currently sit ?

Is L2 the right hand side (left as you look at it)? If so, and the singers are towards the back, that's Brigada isn't it?
Well done anyway.
-
Good one Brigada.
Can we know please get rid of the funeral bells at kick off?

I'm in L4 about 3/4 of the way back in row LL. Don't mind going in the wings or anywhere else for that matter. Just don't want to sit and listen to the prats moaning and talking shite, but I suppose you get that wherever you sit.

It is that side and the lot who started it where about 2/3 of the way up. They even got the Lower Witton Lane joining in.

I just wish the match would have matched the Holte Ends Vocifirous support.

I think you are a bit too far back and I'm sure I would hear a Welsh twang. The guy next to me thinks he's doing commentary for 5 live. After every game I've had to wash my jacket because the guy behind sprays it and doesn't say it, and shouts ridiculous things like 'fuckin stepladder'. I think he's a bit crazy.
-
Good one Brigada.
it wasn't brigada.
-
Upper Holte need to take a leaf out of lower Holte's efforts to get VILLA park rocking yesterday, fine effort by them. Been a fair few times recently where the North Stand start a song and the Holte then joins in ??? That can't be right ! Let's all make a big effort at liverpool game to finish on a high to show we care, even if the team don't! Nothing wrong wiv "Bells are ringing song "just belt it out we don't need the record to get us going .
Keep the faith we can only get better.
North Stand Corner Crew.

Theres me and a big bloke who sing the avfc chant every week. Im on the end of row z.
When starting a chant,we usually get looked at like aliens have landed on the moon. Yesterday,we kept at it and suddenly everyone was up! Suddenly,the place was rocking!
Hope its the start of something wonderful!
