At the risk of upsetting the politicaly correct, and for this I apologise in advance.
We need an atmosphere of note, they may not concern us as much as the Heathan,s from Small Heath but we have had our moments.
In the 70,s many great games, 77/78 home 3.0 I think this was the game Alex (jaws) Cropley had his leg broken 41,000 at the game a significant number at Witton station after the game wishing them Bon Voyage and enjoy the trip back to new street.
At the end of the season we beat them 3-0 at their dump in front of 35,000 which had to be a record crowd for them
In season 74/75, March at home. I apologise again for being a 18 year old naughty steamer that did not know better,
About a thousand Villa fans set out their stall in (the open air) Witton end to greet our Black country cousins, after normal greetings had been exchanged West Midlands Finest decided that we should walk off around the pitch back into the Holte End.
The game was about 5 mins on,47,000 in Villa Park The Holte (bad guys) Roared,burn Albion,burn,never come up the Holte end.
That game had to be one of the top 10 atmosphere,s I have ever seen at Villa Park.
Call to arms on Sunday, roar on the Villa, burn Albion,burn.
I shall be watching and cheering.
UP the Villa
