Of course, the noise a crowd makes depends on a lot of in-game factors, but... 1) before the game 2) after the game 3) when celebrating a goal - Villa are SO clear! It's also worth noticing that the importance of a game will also be a significant factor. Would have we experienced such a noise at the start of the campaign when Champions League possibly wasn't in many Villa fans' minds? Possibly not. But we can only rate what has been in front of us this season.

I agree context is key which does impact the away day table

As an Everton fan, Villa have always been class fans when they come to Goodison. Great support, and never any tragedy or poverty chanting unlike some. Id never have a second club, but if i had to choose one with a gun to my head, itd be Villa

34 years a villa fan and never once would i have thought i'd be subscribed to an AFC Bournemouth KZread channel for the last few years.

30 years ago you could take your pick of pubs near the ground, unfortunately the new residents of Aston aren't really into alcohol so nearly all of the pubs have shut.

Park under the M6 on Moor Lane. 15 mins walk tops, lots of space if you’re early 👍

Thanks for that review boys and I think it's pretty fair of you to be honest. For the record, it's not just Villa and away fans who are annoyed at the Barton's Arms closing, it's the entire city. To think that Laurel and Hardy stayed there whilst on their UK tour in 1954, and given the Victorian building is still resplendent in many of its original fixtures and fittings, it's a sad loss for the city. Let's hope it reopens in another guise to provide all supporters with a base from which to start their match day journey. All the best. #UTV

I'm really hoping The Bartons Arms reopens. Best pub in Birmingham and a real tragedy. My favourite pub as well its such an iconic piece of Birmingham history.

im nearly a pensioner we used to sing it (hi ho aston villa ) at the villa when i was 16 .. fiest time ive been here ,good show nicely presented

As a Villa fan I'm really hoping that The Bartons Arms is open again by next season. Not only the best pub around Villa Park but I'd argue the best pub in Birmingham. There are very few pubs left around Aston now unfortunately.

There a very few pubs left in Aston & Witton area and why there is only now home pubs. Especially as home fans lost the Holte Suite to corporate tickets this season. Thanks for visiting my local, The Yenton 🍻

Glad you enjoyed your trip to Villa Park. Next time you go please approach the ground from Aston Park walk past Aston Hall. The wow factor is a ten.

Enjoy your stuff as a Villan living in the SW, glad you enjoy VP. It is breathtaking on a sunny afternoon. We need to sort an away fan zone, it would generate much needed revenue! Fingers crossed Wes, Nassef and Chris Heck are reading the comments!🙏🏾😂 🤞🏾

Seems like a very fair assessment. 👍 The away pub situation for those who drive and park is extremely poor since the Barton Arm’s closed. I’d not be happy either. Needs fixing before next season. This season, away fans who travel by train have been spending pre match in Birmingham City Center, before getting the train to Witton Station, (6 min), and walking to VP, (10 min), in time for kick off. Great fan channel lads, (one of the best for any club actually). Keep up the good work! 👏

Villa fan here - genuinely you guys do a really interesting vlog for genuine footy fans. Great stuff lads and thank you for the compliments. All the best for the Cherries and yes, it's not right that we don't have an away pub!!! We need to sort that out UTV

Hi Guys really enjoy your videos, very impressed with the scoring you gave to us Villa fans, sorry about the lack of away pubs, might be something Villa can look into you could have a pub with a big car park and you could even call it "The Away End" again thanks for what you said about the fans singing to be pure perfection....this means alot, we are very proud of our Team, club and Stadium.... basically all things Villa, many thanks Dean

It doesn’t solve everyone’s problem but for years I have arrived early (11am for 3pm kick-off), parked and then jumped on the bus to the City Centre where I’d meet my mates in one of many excellent pubs (Wellington Arms is outstanding). Book a 6 seat taxi for 2.15 (couple of quid each) and be in our seats for kick-off. After the game 5 minute walk back to my (free) parking spot and on the M6 in 5-10 minutes.

That’s absolutely dreadful we didn’t give you a pub. Great video though lads UTV

Villa have had Jeff Becks Hi-Ho Silver Lining since the late 70’s, The *Dog Heads* (wolves) have only started playing it over the last ten years as West Brom use The liquidator the same as wolves used to use it.

I'm 68 and we used to sing Hi Ho Aston Villa at family parties in the late 1960''s and Holte Enders in the Sky. We also used to sing the "Glory Glory Aston Villa" song in the 60's and 70's before it was nicked first by Tottenham, then eventually by Man Utd.

4th in all things. Absolutely here for it lads. Like @mudder5 I wouldn’t have imagined I’d enjoy subscribing to another teams podcast but you guys have something really special here. Good analysis, good banter, great production. Non judgemental atmosphere about all the different teams. Fantastic work. And you know what, I’ve been to Villa park a lot. I think your review is bang on. Chris heck knows there’s tonnes to do on infrastructure. We have plans to do a box park style walk up from a new and improved witton station in future, which will include a massive multimedia drinks and food hub for home and away fans. We will get it done. It’s just one step at a time. And yeh, you can’t beat us for noise. We are massive for atmosphere. The passion is real! Xx utv

You got Villa Park on a good day, right after getting to the semi of the conference so it was always gonna be a great atmosphere. If you didnt give us 10 for noise i would have been fuming. Seeing as i didnt stop hearing about how there was no away pubs for the week before, ill take 50 points and 4th. See you next season, hopefully with a bloody away pub!

Villa fan here, really enjoyed you're pre match preview of our game and the vlog. Thanks for the high rating we do pride ourselves on being loud!

Amazing you went to my local pub, you really had to go far and wide to search for one 😅 I think travelling by train would give you a better experience than arriving by car with more pubs in town and the local train gets you to the ground. Great video from villa fan 👍🏻

Villa fan here. Great show and more than fair comments. You caught our fan base on a good day. Volume has been hit and miss this season. I thought your manager was extremely gracious after the game. Keep up the good work and see you next season.

Glad you enjoyed your away day at The Villa.. I’m glad that you stayed up and I believe that drinking for away fans will improve next season. Look forward to meeting you next season!

Seriously, you guys do the best podcast. Im a villa fan from Sydney who now tunes in all the time. I think its the balance. I l9ved your post match after Wolves. Good luck next season.

Thanks for the fair review lads, see you at Villa park next season 😊

Not just because we won! Your channel was very well balanced and fair! Also great presentation!

Very disappointed with the lack of pubs, hopefully we sort it out. Subscribed

Another villa fan here just signing in to the Villa/Bournemouth love-in!. Great comments guys, I’m 58 and my first Villa game was the infamous’Ted McDougall’ game old 3rd division 1972, 48,000. I’ve always felt the Bournemouth connection!. All the best for a pub next year, UTV!

Villa fan for 52 years here, great channel and much appreciate your words

Honestly such a great fan channel proper in-depth and sensible analysis. Probably the best fan channel I’ve come across and that’s me saying that as a Villa fan. Keep up the great work and the entertaining vlogs!

Really different and enjoyable pod. UTV !

Fair/balanced views as always lads & i get the lack of local pub for away fans,but Aston Villa fc can not control private pubs closing or being renovated. As a Villa fan i'm pleased you enjoyed the atmosphere & firmly believe Villa have one of the loudest sets of fans home & away in English football, hopefully you'll have a pub nearer Villa park next season to take the edge off the defeat that awaits you after your pint/grub....Lol.!!....😆.....great show lads, you're popular with many Villa fans,as you've probably seen by the amount of comments,fair play!..... up the mighty Villa!!!! ⚽💜💙✌️

Yeah,I can believe it mate,our loyal away support is very good & we always take the maximum allocation we can get & are sold as quick as a flash,in fact Home & Away there's never enough tickets for the volume of demand,at Villa park we've got a capacity of 42.640 & is sold out for every home game,we also have 35.000 on a waiting list for a season ticket,we need a much bigger capacity than what we currently have,we've out grown Villa Park in a big way & although we have planning permission for a new North stand, it's only gonna increase our capacity to 52.000+ which isn't nearly enough, it's also been put on hold twice cos of delays in transport improvements around Villa park & a reduced capacity for 18 months just when we're doing so well. Some might think I'm bias towards Villa,but I can honestly say 100% that Villa fans are one of the best around in terms of noise levels & loyalty to the club whatever happens...... up the mighty Villa!!! 😊

Love your vids boys. Keep up the good work 💜💙

Another Villa fan sharing the love for your channel. Best of luck for the new season.

Thanks lads very fair assessment great blog UTV.

Always enjoy your channel lads 👌🏻 UTv

Hi Sam and Tom, I totally agree that Stadium was rocking that day. As daft as I’m about to sound I would say this season for loudness, 1 Aston Villa as the full stadium was rocking but 2 Man City, those fans around us were raucous, Personally this was my number 1 away day this season, loved the weather, I enjoyed the game and maybe that’s the tactic to silence the away fans and that’s to give them 3rd degree burns with the fire See you Sunday

I'll subscribe because this is fun .UTV.

Love it!

Long term Villa STH, good and fair assessment lads. Parking over the last 15 years has become awful, if you want to park close to the ground on the roads then its 2+ hours before kick off, otherwise its 20+ minute walk from 1.5+ hour or park at Star City an hour before the game and 30+ minute walk. They have put a new AV82 bus on match days that comes from New Street, so easier for train journeys. But overall travel and parking is something the club need to sort out with the council, who at this time have gone bankrupt. A lot of fans would have supported a new ground being built purely as they are fed up with the parking and travel problems.

Love your review. UTV. We need to sort out the pubs, that's not on. and UTC. Loudest fans, that means a lot.

love the content im a villa fan shame about the pubs but they have had a few problems with away fans and with some of the euro ties they decided to prevent away fans drinking to close

It was loud at VP last Monday v Liverpool...our away following is mental tbh. We do need to sort an away pub or two around VP...Great work both and Champions League here we come. UTV 🦁 💜 💙

Next season you can use the Manor Tavern and you can park on next to the pub to and it’s about 10 to 15 mins walk away from the ground

Great idea for a Vlog guys and that’s from a Villa fan. Shame about a pub for the away fans tbh I’ve had a lot ask about that this year. Thanks for the good comments about us tho we have got amazing supporters you only have to see our vlogs about our last game at palace, lost 5-0 never stopped singing and loads stayed for the palace lap of honour. Good luck next year guys UTV

Fair points boys. We’ll do you a pop up pub in Aston Park next year 😊

Hi lads as always great content,the lack of an away pub is more than likely to do with the area as you would have noticed there are a lot of asians (not the drinking kind) living in wotton and Aston thus tends to lack of pubs and with near full crowds every home match they tender to the home fans ,next time i suggest if you stoop to such levels an offy just after the witton station on the right we get drinks from there and drink them in the gardens of Witton lane opposite the Diug Ellis stand keep up grate work

Villa fans are everywhere!

The yenton my local! glad you enjoyed your day out UTV

I go up to Villa a reasonable amount, and I must say that the pub thing isn’t the best but there is a Tesco down the road which is only £6.50 to park, and you could always get a couple cans there 😏

Pub wise, plenty of options in the city centre and easy train, bus, or taxi from there guys. You're always welcome.

@tutornick

Ай бұрын

Also guys, you need to understand the context of why there are no pubs for away fans around Villa Park. It's a systemic reason that I'd be happy to explain to you. Just ask me.

Villa fan here. home pub situation isn’t much better neither. Some great pubs in brum centre so I’d suggest to any away fans to do what we do get a pint in town and get an Uber or train back to Aston in time for the game. If your into your real ale there’s some top options as well. Love the bud fellas, glad you enjoyed your experience

Next year, park at star city. Free parking, bowling alley has a bar which we see away fans in all the time. 25 min walk!!

Best option is drink in the centre and get train to the ground or go Jewellery Quarter great pubs/bars and a short cab ride.

I get free on road parking with a 20 minute walk to the ground and an easy quick drive to get onto the M6 North or South at the end of the game - local knowledge is worth £6 every home game 😁UTV

The Barton Arms should be under new ownership by the start of next season. Go for a pint in there, then walk towards the Holte End via Aston Park and we're winning both leagues.

Thanks for the nice comments lads, good luck for next season.

​@@marksturch3162 it's extremely frustrating. I loved The Barton Arms, but the walk there from the ground after the game was always depressing no matter what the result.

You guys have done well this season, you must be optimistic for next year. Top half finish? Competing for Europe maybe?

things will enprove once they build the new stand

You should park in the city, loads of great pubs and then get the free bus or train to the stadium next time

It's sign of the times regarding pubs, there's lots of them closing. People only use them on weekends, very expensive to run.. It's probably best to find one just out of the city if you can..

Definitely try and come in from the Aston Hall side next time!!

You guys are class.actually been keeping an eye on your results since that pod at villa park.keep on bringing the great content.utv

I can understand if your an away fan, The Yew Tree is some way away from Villa Park as well as The Yenton. The yew tree is from what I remember more of a blue nose pub. The Yenton is one of the worst pubs around and considered very low leveI, I've lived in Birmingham for 53 years and supported Villa that long. I know the Yenton very well and would always avoid. Even though It's quite a long way from Villa Park it is classed as a Villa pub as oppossed to a Blues boozer (Birmingham Shitty FC). There are a lot of changes happening at Villa, I see pubs, places to eat are superb for Villa fans. More to come, Remember we planned to extend Villa Park but that was scrapped for now. So whats next for the mighty Villa Park?

I recommended The Bartons Arms to you last year so I'm a big fan of old traditional pubs. If you want other traditional pubs around the area then there's The Manor Tavern, The Albion Vaults and The Villa Tavern. Although keep in mind that I'm not entirely sure whether they take away fans and they're nowhere near as good as The Bartons Arms.

Getting an away pub is going to be hard I’m afraid. The demographics of the area has resulted in so many pubs closing. Villa have also decided to make The Holte Suite, which was used for a pre-game drink, into a premier hospitality area. So there’s even more demand for local boozers. Sorry

Have a drink in the city centre before the match and get the train in! Loads of pubs in the city centre. Park your car at Northfield Park and Ride

Sorry about the pubs lads. Poorly stocked around Villa Park.

Sorry about the pub issues... once was many... but sign of the times... high Muslim population in the area so the good old pubs are closings down as cannot survive just on the football season customers.. next time try the south harbour pub.. or go into erdington... you have the swan.. church tavern.. pheasant plucker..or Witherspoon's Charlie hall.. red lion.. sports social club.. then a straight run to the ground or a quick bus hop.. up the villa..

Next time do the spoons in perry bar. You can also park local to it. I know it's a spoons but it's close to the ground and you get a few away fans.

2nd one of the week!!!

The pub situation is poor for us as well ,best drink in town and get train in .UTV

I’d recommend trying to park at star city next time or powerleague. Star city you could then either jump on spaghetti junction or drive down a47 to junction 5 m6

CHEERS LADS GOOD LUCK THE REST OF THE SEASON AND NEXT HA!!! AND COME ON THE VERY FAMOUS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HERE WE COME !!! 🍾😃👍🍻🎉

Love villa park. Went by train and drunk in city centre . The day was let down only by sitting in away upper tier where there is No Bar!!!!!

Oh what a night, watching Villa on a Thursday night, blues are watching cos their fooking shite, what a season what a night...
