Project B6

[RamboandBruno]

I was surprised, but not altogether upset, that the Palace fans lacked colour and noise. We were relatively quiet as well and this happens from time to time.

Since the fixtures came out I've been looking forward to Forest at home on Easter Saturday, it will be a sell out, on a BH weekend, first time they have played us at VP in the top flight for 20 years so has all the makings of a cracking atmosphere. Of course it could and up as flat as a witches tit but I think that largely depends on the football.

Should be good but it'll never beat seeing two European Cup winners, with 3 of them between them, playing a league match outside the top flight that finishes as a 5-5 draw.

What a remarkable night that was.

My son still talks about that being his favourite ever game at Villa Park, he’s 13 in context, but it was a great game.

Im a bit gutted as am working away over Easter and not back till Easter Monday, i was selfishly hoping this one would be moved to Monday night for TV, no such luck, bloody Saturdays at 3pm, tut.

Atletico Madrid 1998 - amazing, won't be beaten in my eyes

Atletico Madrid 1998 - amazing, won't be beaten in my eyes

Yes, it was the best that I remember. The roar in the Upper Holte when Collymore's goal went is the loudest I've heard at a game.

[Risso]

The best ever for me was Tranmere 94. Nothing will ever top that.

inter Milan 90

I think Tranmere was so good because for four years we'd failed to follow up on the "We're f***ing back!" vibe of Inter.

This memory brought to you by the times when 4 years seemed like an eternity.

Tranmere for me too - the pitch invasion at the end was incredible. Reminds me, 8 years ago yesterday we dragged football back into the dark ages when we ran onto the pitch after beating the Albion.

That was the last game I attended, my birthday four years ago, brilliant entertainment despite not winning.

Make sure to get Andre Green a pint of Guinness if you should happen to bump into him. He's in Bratislava now but with a surname like that, a trip to the Irish midlands can never be ruled out.

Tranmere was very special, probably the best I can remember as well as so much was riding on it, not just a cup final but our first since '77.  With all that tension and hope and everyone up for the contest thinking it could be done but nervous at the same time. It wasn't but it felt like the last day of standing on the Holte End.  Thinking about that, the only time I sit in my seat in the Holte these days and not by choice I might add, is at half time.

first since 1977? - what about 1982 and 1983? 😁😁😁

Against Inter 1990, with three players who'd just won the World Cup, singing "who the fucking hell are you?" as they ran out, and then beating them 2-0.

Brilliant atmosphere, and some iconic television footage with the Kent Neilsen gobbing. Also Trappatoni banging his head on the dugout roof.

I can't believe anyone doesn't really want us to play in Europe again as soon as possible.

That was my second European game, after the first round home game against Banik Ostrava. The main memories of that were how loud the Banik supporters sounded from the North stand, and one swapping a Banik Ostrava scarf for my dad's Villa one after the game (which I've still got). But the game against Inter was on another level. Quite probably my favourite European night, tho Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid were both amazing too.

I was 11 at the time, my second game, Goosebumps.

Over the last 30 odd years I’d say the two Inter games, Athletico Madrid, Tranmere and the Albion FAC qtr final are the best atmos games at VP. For me Tranmere was the one though, utter bedlam from start to finish.
