This is a thread having a go at the Home fans in a mildly light hearted way for their pretty dire home support.I’ve criticised your singing but met some fanatic Villa fans, drank in the first Villa pub nearest Aston station, cracking lads. Brought me a beer and like wise, wish the day wouldn’t end. The stadium is brilliant.
Thanks Villain, you were great hosts.
Thanks again.

Bring back the terraces, lower the ticket prices and stop watching sky......and we might get our atmosphere back (in the top league).
Utter bollocks, the Goldstone rarely rocked. On occasions it was brilliant, but too often you could hear a pin drop.

Very disappointed with the lack of noise created today. It was so quiet throughout the first half until our goal. Have had much louder games with far less fans. Doesn't help when we're split between two stands and the home fans aren't up for it though. But was still far too quiet for my liking
Bollocks. When we had 20,000 the north stand rocked, I'm saying if we had 25,000 then it was party time.
Prick!

Not at all. There weren't many chants before kick off, other then Albion, and Seagulls. Then when Villa scored there was naff all until Elphick equalised. I was hoping for 90 mins of noise and was disappointed we got nowhere near that. The Villa fans say we were 'good' but what they expected from a lower league team on their big day out. I was hoping we'd blow them away, but sadly we were just alright.
The problem was that we was split up. Two stands and get a ticket and don't know where you are or who you're sitting next to. Don’t know what they're like, are they old, boring, just want to watch the game and not sing etc. If it was one stand, pay on the day, 6,400 behind the goal then it would be awesome.
I’m hoping Falmer will be different, Everyone knows where to go to make the stadium bounce.

And the Villa fans didn't help create an atmosphere either. But then I can understand that as I can't say I was too loud when we played Rushden at home.
Home? Oh, you mean the old age pensioners rest home where the noise has to be kept to minimum.

Because H block is guaranteed to be rammed with absolute knobs every week.

It sounded fairly noisy where we were (Upper North, towards the back, just to the right of the goal) - but maybe most of the noise we could hear was bouncing off the roof above us, rather than flying through the air to all corners of the ground.
It's a funny thing, is noise. I dare say the top portion of the Holte End sounds very noisy ... if you're in the top portion of the Holte End. And I dare say that the Holte End probably can't hear a peep of the decibels that bounce around beneath the roof of the North Stand.
Everyone wins, of course. We ALL go home thinking that most of the noise that we heard came from the people immediately around us.

That's a fair point, we did exactly the same thing at home to Rushden. Our home support was shit that day
I don't think anyone's in a position to criticise the Villa support when over 30,000 turn up
