Title: 19th minute applause
Post by: ClaretAndBlueBlood on July 28, 2015, 03:40:57 PM: just remembered that while watching the Walsall game on AVTV on Saturday, the Villa fans did a minutes applause in the 19th minute!!!

why has this started again? Didn't Stan say he wanted it to end at the end of the season before last?

did it happen at Swindon?

You presume right clogger. Applause on the minutes representing their ages.

Think it took a while for all of us to catch on but the Villa fans responded really well.
