Well no it doesnt but the media like you said always persist with it. Snooze. It's not a myth if true though mate? In comparison to Premier league pitches non are larger than Wembley. More than happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on this
LCCFox96 Posted 8 December 2019 Posted 8 December 2019 Couldn't make the game today (smh) but the away end sounded quality. Whilst the pornographic football we were treated to no doubt helped, you all sounded really loud and on great form. Good selection of chants coming over too.

More than happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on this Wembley is 115 yd long by 75 yd wide. KP is 115 yd long by 74 yd wide. Largest pitch in the Prem is at the Amex at Brighton which is 115 yd long by just over 75 yd wide Basically they are nearly all the same these days.

The noise, vibe and singing during the Arsenal game last month was amongst the best I've experienced at a home game in years. I agree, do think 5:30 kick off with the opportunity for many to get a few beers in prematch really helps the atmosphere
l444ry Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Managed to get a very late ticket positioned just above the players tunnel, but unfortunately in a Villa section. Was dead opposite our supporters and everyone there did the club proud for 90 minutes and were very loud from where I sat. Great effort from all involved.
HighPeakFox Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Hopefully that one poster with 3 accounts will emerge next time the atmosphere suffers...
stripeyfox Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 sounded loud on TV yesterday but have noticed whilst looking on Villa's forum and Liverpool's there were posts by people thinking we were singing "Champions of England, you'll never sing that" [to Aston Villa], although these were corrected by others saying it was "you made us sing that". So a bit more clarity with the lyrics please chaps!!
Ollie93 Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 One of the best I've been in for a while. Class day from start to finish.

Too much booze makes the atmosphere suffer. They give it the biggun in the pub and the concourse and then lose their energy for the game.

If the atmosphere last Boxing Day is anything to go by it’ll be a good one

KIRBYFOX93 Posted 10 December 2019 Posted 10 December 2019 much better, we need to be like that home and away to push the lads into the champions league or even better dare i ask. long way to go yet tho. UTF

Looking into it all pitches have to be the same size as Wembley unless the ground as a whole doesnt support it. I.e. because of how close the stands are to the pitch... So yeah myth.
purpleronnie Posted 10 December 2019 Posted 10 December 2019 Wasn't the old Wembley pictch slightly bigger? I haven't heard people mention the new Wembley pitch being bigger, but they used to mention it before the new build.

I was so frustrated at the number of phones out for Vardy's penalty against Brighton. It was horrendous. People just watching a moment through their phone screen rather than enjoying it. Still, you never know how many likes you'll get, whether it'll get picked up by footballawayfanbantz on Twitter or by news channel, so better to be safe than sorry

Stoke City used to narrow their pitch when they were in the Europa under Pulis as you saw the original lines greened out. All for Delaps throws IIRC.
