Villa Away - Ballons and ticker tape

Tickertape was originally I reckon a late 80s early 90s way to camouflage  small away supports.

 

I remember 600 or so of us standing on the old open leazes end at Newcastle creating a buzz and it stuck. The Wembley play off tickertape receptions were magnificent. Derby supporters knew they'd made a booboo when the teams emerged out the Wembley tunnel to carnage in our end and absolutely zilch in theirs. (And they had no fans in the Olympic gallery, a long standing dig I've used as a stick to beat a Derby mate for nigh on 30 years now. Happy days)

I was bang in the middle for that game and entered through the derby end which was quite nice and calm. You went through some doors and along a small passage to get to the Leicester side. When the stewards opened the doorS to the Leicester side people were pissing on the floors, being sick and basically going mental. Not sure why the massive difference

Given our lack of form in the league we may actually have to take this match seriously if we want to get into Europe next season.

Villa will again have no striker in this match now Kodja has gone and arguably have bigger concerns maintaining their league status.....losing this would seriously be a disaster

I know it may have been mentioned but can their new striker play in this and can Reina? 

90% sure I read on here that Reina couldn't play so I assume it'll be the same for the striker as well.

Love this. 

 

Just please get us to Wembley, whatever the outcome in the final :appl::scarf:

Looks banging doesn't it. We should be all over this, Doesn't take much to buy a bag of balloons or cut some paper up and stick it in your pocket!

Reina can play. As long as they are registered as if they could play a PL game on the same day, they can play, despite not being registered for the first leg. Only Drinkwater, another cup tied player, or a player not signed before Monday can not play.

Ah I see. Won't make a difference who they put out. :scarf:

Can we please have a really really good loud end for this? 

 

Semi Final of the cup, chance to get to Wembley, 4000 Leicester fans behind the goal at Villa Park. Everyone should be well up for this.

If we can't turn out a good end at this then we might as well fold.

You just never know with us really... goal down early and we’ll shit ourselves and go quiet.

I remember the old days when toilet roll streamers were quite common.

 

 

British Rail tracing paper loo roll was the best streamer. Guaranteed to reach the pitch.

 

Ripped up Newspaper (Remember them?) for ticker tape.

I nicked one of those massive ones from the north star finchley road pre Wembley one year, hadn't taken into account the minute I launched it the sheer weight of the thing made it snap come clean out my hand and smash someone about 5 rows in front of me square on the back of the head. :ph34r: not sure if the fact it was grown Male was good for the fact it didn't knock them out or a bad think as they clearly wanted to kill me.

Villa's next game is the second leg. In the meantime, we have 2 matches to play before then. Villa have found a bit of form, we are lacking it, Villa have home advantage.

 

Let's hope all that gets thrown out the window because we are so close.

Posted

Already starting to shit it for this. Gonna be a lot of nerves next Tuesday. Feels like Watford play off second leg - let’s hope it doesn’t end like that

Posted

I’m confused a bit ....

 

i thought that to be eligible for the second leg, you had to be eligible for the first

 

however, recent quotes from smith (eg. Samatta should be available) seems to say that’s not the case

We need to replicate the first 30 mins at Brentford here. Biggest game since atletico. People who were in the upper tier yesterday I’m sure will be at villa too. Please make an effort. Stand if you can and let’s get the end rocking

Members of UFS will be at the lower tier turnstyles pre game dishing out bags of confetti and balloons. 

Come and grab as much as you can, there's mountains of stuff to get spread out across the lower tier. Stuff your pockets and give it to your mates inside the ground.

Still got my blue & white inflatable football which I didn't take the home leg after the balloons got cancelled.  
I'll take it Villa Park :scarf:
