Great videos

Watch a match I guess considering the game was halted for most of that video due to the flare on the pitch.

May I just say, flares are an absolute pain in the arse at football games.  Thank you.

Something has changed this season, I can't put my finger on what it is but whatever its been the Lower Holte has found its voice.  For too long the Upper Holte has always been the singing section of the ground but this season the Lower has started joining in.  I'm going to give the Brigada boys a big shout out here because they got the lower right L1/L2 and L3 going last season and I understand have been doing similar in L7/8 this season.  No matter what anyone says that does have an influence and they deserve a lot of credit.  Its partly down to the team on the pitch as well giving their all and starting to excite us once more.

But I think the biggest factor is that when the chips have been down we've realised the team need our support and sitting on your arse and expecting to be entertained isn't how it works.  Fair play to the North Stand Lower lot as well who have to try and outsing the away fans.

I still maintain the biggest thing Villa could do to enhance the atmosphere at Villa Park would be to try and remodel the Holte so its a single tier and singing as one. Pie in the sky maybe but  maybe one day.

I believe ticket prices changed meaning that it's far cheaper to sit in the Lower Holte as opposed to the sides. An example of this in action would be the Reading game back in, I believe, November. Crap attendance below 30,000, but the Holte was full and loud, with the doug ellis and trinity stands being pretty barren.

I don't mind them, as long as i'm not too near them. Love the after smell, reminds me of playing with cap guns as kid.

Exactly what Chico and I were saying too. If it weren't for the booze we would have felt like 8 year olds yesterday

Felt like an 80 year old when I had to get up for work yesterday morning. Must have had a dodgy pie or summat...

It wasn't what was in the pie it was how many you had you Porker.

It was mostly alll good natured, but a few got a bit tipsy. A few lads off our coach were informed they wouldn't be joining us for the journey home.

Talking about Villa fans...I do wonder how many of us foreign/abroad fans there are as I don't think there's big following in Finland, for example in biggest finnish football forum there's 9 page season topic of Villa and almost 100 page long season topic of Newcastle.

I've been to Finland and it is shit. No wonder they prefer Newcastle

Flew into Lappeenranta on the way to St Petersburg last month. 

On the walk into town spotted a local lad (which I guessed by the school uniform) with a Villa hat and Villa scarf. Was going to serenade him with 'small town in Finland, you're just a small town in Flnland,' but thought better of it.
