Project B6

[Vegas]

The first Inter game for me. Recently,  the Man City game on Jack’s return where we came back to draw 2-2 - not limbs in the modern sense, but very pointed and passionate with constant Villa Till I Die.

I was at Tranmere but I must have missed something or had one too many beers as it doesn’t really stand out.

I thought Everton at home on our return to the PL was cited as a boss atmos.

[pauliewalnuts]

The main memories of that were how loud the Banik supporters sounded from the North stand

For away European fans making a racket, I thought Ajax were top notch. Never shut the fuck up, proper 80s throwback support but impressive all the same.

Both the Inter Milan games stick with me.  Brilliant nights and exactly what European nights should be about. 

I can still see Phil The King's penalty like it was yesterday.

We lost 1-2 to Manchester City when he first camr back so that's probably why there wasn't limbs

Speaking of which, I was mildly grumpy this seson when Bailey scored to get us the 1-1 draw and fans cheered at the final whistle when we had the ball and I wanted us to chase the win. I don't celebrate draws wildly

[brontebilly]

Ajax with Suarez et Al coming to Villa Park was quality. Gareth Barry with the winner. Even if it's some poxy Euro farmers league it's still worth going for. More games means we can have a much bigger squad, more opportunities for the likes of Archer, A Ramsey and Iroegbunam.

I've seen some of the proposals for 'tifos' on twitter this morning and the enthusiastic replies.

I think they look shite, and I feel like the whole thing is too prescribed. If I'm sat with one of those bloody things over me I'm getting the lighter out.

I think they can be brilliant.

It's daft looking on with envy at the atmosphere at places like Dortmund and Besiktas and then beeing all bah humbug about the some of the tools they use to achieve it.  Take a look at this

No.

I was at the Parc des Princes last year (had to take some Canadian family members to see a game). The Auteuil sing from start to finish, and get through about 100 different songs, with drummers, brass sections,  cheerleader blokes with loudhailers and microphones. It is relentless, noisy and colourful.

It is also shite because the chants are sung with no reference to play. Whatever happens on the pitch they keep on singing their equivalents of Hi-Ho, TBAR and Kumbaya. It was quite discombobulating actually. It's better when the teams provoke reactions as has been said on here  I do think that there is a place for B6 type displays too.

There is, and it's somewhere else.

Everyone has their own opinions which is fine but curious to know how you would be under a Tifo like the ones you have seen on Twitter?

You wouldn’t expect that from such an authentic club as PSG.

Hi Everyone! Some of you may know us already, but we would like to try and reach out to more fans and grow bigger and better! Project B6 is a ‘fan group’ aimed to be an umbrella for all fans to come together under. Formed in 2017 taking over from ‘GET THE HOLTE END BACK’ which had been running for 5 years prior. The aim has always been to bring colour and vibrancy back to the stands. Whether in the form of flags, banners, mosaics and alike.

 PB6 is also an associate of THE FSA.

Over the last few months we have been running several surveys, questionnaires and polls for fans to get involved with. The overwhelming view is that the atmosphere at Villa Park is poor and that it needs to change. Fans and the club must do more to ensure that Villa Park becomes a place of vibrancy, noise and excitement. There will soon be a generation who will never know what Villa Park and The Holte End, in particular,  can be like. The next generation could easily slip away and follow the ‘Big Six’, We want to ensure younger fans want to come to The Villa and enjoy it in the process!

The reoccurring themes from fans via the surveys etc. are Displays and flags must be in The Holte as default. The pre match music must be changed and there is a really willingness from fans to help, as will show with the number of volunteers we now have.

The game against Palace on Saturday we are encouraging fans to bring scarves, just like games previously, to get twirling all around the ground. It looked great against Leicester hopefully we can build on that!

I’m all for any fan based initiatives and I’ve enjoyed seeing some of the flags/banners that pb6 have initiated.
Re home atmosphere I enjoy the noise made in the Holte End and the colour from the lower north stand at the start of games.
Sometimes we can be too critical of ourselves, but as someone who has travelled many times over the years I’ve found that many opposition grounds fall short of what we create at VP (eg manu away in the cup this season)
Where we do fall short is atmosphere in the 2 touch line stands. I remember the days when the Trinity used to stop the Holte End in its tracks with its foot stamping/hand clapping. These days along with the de stand it contributes very little to the atmosphere.
Anyway keep the Lion’s flag flying high...UTV!

Normally I get to the ground about 15 minutes before kick off and go straight in, but the wife came against Palace and I decided to kill time to stop her getting bored,had to tell her that's there a Zara around the corner,We discovered the fans zone and was very impressed and also the food on offer and entertainment behind the trinity, perhaps not for me but parents with the children it looks well attended
