Alright Villains, as we said when we first put our selves here that this year was going to be slow and that it has been. This was the year were we'd find our feet hopefully get known within genral Villa fans etc. Hense not doing anything massive - although when we did have a display planned (against Blackburn home FA cup) it was knocked back - just like our banner and flags have been on numerous occasions because, they haven't been fire proofed and/or might block peoples views. Stupidity. We are all spread across the staidum home games hense our lack of presence as a group and away games it can be hard to stand out as our supports amazing. So we've still be going to away games then home cup games/youth/reserve etc. Heres a few pictures from the season so far. VILLA TILL I DIE! F*CK MODERN FOOTBALL. Brigada1874!

Why are the faces blocked out??
-
Where can I buy one of those lion masks?
-
Alex - Alot of people including even Villa fans seem to want to target us. Also the stewards seem to keep getting a 'interest' in us.
-
You are just too damned hot
-
Why do you need to register to access the website?
-
To stop SHA fans seeing everything we do - if we publicly advertised a display etc.
Also need to register to post anyway mate.

Well don't ask people to look at your website if you wont let anybody on it.Most site's let you on has a guest just like this one.
-
Takes you a moment to sign up mate. The people who take a lot of interest in our group will take the time to sign up im sure.
The others of course don't have to.
-
I know I'm not meant to feel this way, but it seems a little sinister. The music, the video, the faces blocked out. Maybe I'm wrong and it's all good. Just a first impression.
-
Maybe people would be less suspicious and more accepting of you, if you didn't set yourselves up as some shadowy group.
Do you go to away games as a group? Do you join in/start songs?
I don't really see the need for factions of support, we're all Villa, aren't we?
-
I'm confused, what exactly is Brigada 1874?
-
Good luck with it. Anything that aids the atmosphere in Villa Park is sound by me.
-
I agree with the comments above. I really don't understand why your group has such a sinister feel to it.
You are claiming that everything is innocent, and you're wanting to bring an atmosphere to Villa Park but it just doesn't sit right. You're all there with your big claret and blue flags (which look ace) but none of you are wearing any colours associated with Villa. As for the blacked out faces, i don't get that if you're doing or have done nothing wrong.
-

This.
It's very, very strange.
-
They're anti-fascist. To me that rules out anything sinister straight away.
Good luck lads, keep up the good work.
-
Looking at the photo's they are all on drugs.
-
OP, did you write that when you were pissed?
-
Do you belieeeeeeeeeve in Brigadaaaaaaaaaa?
-
I dont mind a bit of sinister. Good on you lads
-
The flags look good but the Lion....the Lion looks like a cat or at best a young male Lion, why?
-
Thanks for some of the support lads.
Not sure how you can see the Bren to be fair - it was hand made as you can see in the starting out video but i think the banner looks top notch.
Yes as Percy said we are Anti Fascist.
And we do go to away games and start + join in with songs, why wouldn't we?
Ultras have always had the problem with being connected with hooligans - you wouldn't see firms standing in a stand waving flags.
Not wearing replicas is something as individuals we don't tend to do, think mid 20's or even 30 year olds kitted up in replica shirts can look a bit cringeworthy in MY opinion.

Might be an idea to have your website as your sig, if that's allowed.
-
Sure they won't mind - wouldn't take this over Villa chat wise.
Also if your interested in joining get posting on the forum start to get known show interest etc. make sure you agree with our principles and we'll see where it goes from there!
VTID - Keep The Faith!
-
Good luck to you.
Anything that can add a bit of noise and atmosphere is to be welcomed.
-
The atmosphere would improve at Villa Park if the away fans swapped corners of the Witton Lane.
-
Thanks mate.
ads we can say that but it would also improve if the fans sung more! And if most of the stewards wern't on power trips.
-
Good Luck lads! Good to see someone being proactive - keep up the good work
-
Good luck to you.

Ditto, also make sure you have some fun while your at it. There has always been a grumpy tradition down the Villa of people who don't like to see others doing anything different or having a laugh but don't let that put you off.
-
Nice one for the support. And by the way were not just a bunch of pissed up lads having a laugh but having a laugh does come into it of course!
We won't get put off - Ultras Never Surrender. UTV

Do you get to see what these principles are before you sign up?
-
The group is based upon five basic principles, these are;
-We support the players for the entirety of the game no matter how well or poorly we are playing.
-We stand throughout the game
-We make as much noise and create as big a scene as possible on the terraces.
-We are anti-fascist, anti-racist and non-sectarian. Those who promote division based upon ethnicity, religion or nationality will not be tolerated in the group.
-We act in unsion as a group, while we may have differences of opinion on some issues regarding the club we will always act in unity and back one another up at the game.

You can't read more unless you sign in first, which kind of defeats the point.
4 of your 5 are good, do you stand regardless of who else is around or are you always at the back? If it's the former you're likely to piss off a number of your fellow supporters.
-
Were always at the back mate and when were not were away where everyone stands anyway.
But we would expect people to join in with the singing, atmosphere standing if we was. But on the other hand we wouldn't be jumping on our chairs if there was a 6 year old behind us who can't see etc.!
