Better example here. Obviously for this to work at Villa Park you'd need a song which is something that's been lacking for far too long.

Didn't Brighton do something like that when they came to Villa Park on FA Cup 3rd round day a few years back? They had both the normal two tiers in the Doug Ellis and the entire North Stand upper and I seem to recall them singing to each other.

They did. Sounded quite good as well. I was in the Lower Holte and it was pretty loud. No idea what they were singing mind.

Arsenal used to do the same at the Library - we are the North Bank, we are the North Bank of Highbury (cue South Bank sing equivalent). Would work with Holte End and North (Witton) Stand/End?

I might be mis-remembering but I seem to rememember a shout of "Big Fat Rons Claret & Blue Army" from the Holte was answered with "AVFC" by the rest of the ground. As I say, it was a few years ago now!

Was at the Community Shield match at the weekend - fair amount of noise generated out of the Trinity by the City fans - would be very intimidating to the away fans if we could get that amount of noise going right at them.

Bring back the 12th man atmosphere. Not many places louder on a big match day than the Holte End. Flags everywhere would be great!

Legion and I met with a few guys from the Villa a few summers ago, and handed over this flag whic they said they were going to use in lower North Stand once they had given it a full fire-proofing/health and safety test...



Never seen it since.

I'll chase it up.
