there is a couple of guys who gets in tandem singing 'Come on you lions' incessantly for the duration of the match!
they do this with almost abandon hope that others who sit there pointing and staring at these pair of eejits who feel they may help the team with vocal support!
lets get rid of them as they are doing nothing for the morale of the fans who are embarrassed by their actions!
apparantly i heard one of them say that the whole of the holte end used to sing to help the team along. i dont know what the hell they mean??? can we get them banned?
-
Shame on them ! Hooligans stone em !
-
You want people banned for saying things? I'm not sure if that's possible Hitler.
-
Good to hear about some enthusiasm! The Holte used to be our 12th man, y'know.
-
not really, it is me. i am fed up with the looks of derision i get and the hoarse throat for trying to get others going. feduptrying.com
-
How very,very dare they ???
-
what is this constant vocal support you speak of? sounds dreadful.
-
Try singing "We don't want McLeish" Rutski and I'm sure others will join in then ;)
(but please don't, behind the team until safe and all that)
-
Perhaps they're trying to create a good, positive atmosphere. You know? Like what used to exist in the Holte End?
-
Try having Gandalf in front of you.
Any poor bastard who wants to get through
'YOU SHALL NOT PASS.'

I think the post has gone over a few peoples heads.

Gandalph? Gah!
Smite him unto the fifth rib, and be on your merry way.

It did occur to me after posting that I'd perhaps missed the irony.
If only there were more like yourself.

On a similar note, has anybody heard the guy in K3, a few rows back from me in 23 that every now and again shouts "Come on Villaaaaaaaaaaaa" and as it gets to the end of the aaaaaaa you can hear the sound of the flem at the back of his throat? Always amuses me.
-
One of my faves: "COME ON YOU LIONS!"
Why don't the Holte Enders sing it anymore?
-
Actually God bless you, and all who sail in you
-
One of the reaons why I don't go down anymore, too many pricks like this.
-
*whoosh*
-
I pray for the day when usherettes patrol the holte end

Hopefully by next season all this shouting nonsense will be fully sorted out.
How are players supposed to concentrate, for example when defending corners, if people nearby are jumping up and down making noise ?
Our goals for and against on corners this season is something like 0-14. If it wasn't for this we would be challenging for a Europa League place instead of worrying about being sucked into a relegation dogfight. So please everybody, especially at set pieces and corners but really for the entire game could you all please STFU !
A lot of effort has gone on in recent seasons to keep people quiet at Villa Park, but a lot more needs to be done. I would actually like to be able to follow the game properly, this includes being able to hear what instructions our manager is issuing from the touchline and things being said between players on the pitch. While we are at it, switch your mobiles off too, you don't leave them on at the cinema or the opera, why leave them on during a game of football ?

Sarcasm doesn't always work on internet forums but good work.

Has he been giving the team talks?

When I became a pensioner last year I decided that now was the time to move from K3 to somewhere a bit more accessible to someone of my advanced years. It's all those steps upto the Upper Holte y'know. Anyway I looked at the stadium plan and spotted what looked to be a nice out of the way corner in the Lower Holte L1. Just right for my needs I thought, a seat on the back row so that I could sit in peace and concentrate on finishing the crossword in The Daily Mail whilst keeping half an eye on the goings on on the pitch. It'll be just like Edgbaston for a championship game I thought. First match of the season I got into my seat about 2.30 and settled down for a pleasant afternoon. To my horror fifteen minutes before kick off all the empty rows in front of me were filled with people waving flags and banners and they wouldn't sit down, in fact they stood all through the match forcing someone of my advanced years to stand too so that I could see the pitch, and the din they made all through the match with their singing, chanting and hand clapping was almost too much to bear. They didn't seem to care that a senior citizen was having to stand up for ninety minutes every game.
Any way I wont have to put with them next season. I'm going to move to the other side of the Lower Holte in L8.
-
Shouting is great. Lobbing smoke bombs like the twat below us in the North yesterday is well out of order!
Tho' watching the stewards trying to work out how to put it out was quite funny. "Try a bucket of water Bert!" "No Fred, it da'int do no good!"

See you there mate!!

In the late sixties early seventies we had this pensioner in a grey raincoat halfway up The Holte by us who used to roar "put the pressure on" at four minute intervals (even during half time!.) He was oblivious to anyone else and used to shout all kinds of verbal abuse at any Villa player that didnt match his exacting standards.
He used to have a particular dislike of Harry Gregory and used words that would shock a Millwall docker to sum up Harrys
limited abilities.
Come to think of it so did I!!!
-
I loved the old Come on you Lions chants!
One thing that really pissess me off is the look younger generations give you when chanting at the match. What's happening to fans if they don't understand the need to give vocal support?
We need to make the Holte roar again.

I'm sure you'll be made very welcome and there are already a couple of kids with them so they will have someone their own ages there.
See you in L8 next season.
-
I've contemplated it, but the vue from L8's not the best. And we've sat in the same group for years and do have a laugh. I just hate the fact there's 0 atmosphere.
I reckon Brigada should split, between L1 and L8....surely that would help the atmosphere?
-
I see what you meen mate but i don't think it would work, our aim is to get a big good group of us (now in L8) and hopefully noise will spread from us (not entirely from us of course) this is still our first season and there was only about 16 of us with ST's in L1 and it worked brilliantly with L2 and L3 spreading all the time. Hopefully we can do the same from L8.
Like laughing policeman said, everyones welcome to join us, and it's a good point, we need to show the younger folk that singing at the football is NORMAL and should always happen.
-
Am I missing something here, where do these Brigade lads sit and why can I never hear any singing or have never seen their flags?
I sit in the Holte Upper by the way.
-
They are in the Lower Holte and you are deaf.
