ASTON VILLA Pre-match Walk to The MIGHTY Holte End vs Arsenal December 9th 2023 UP THE MIGHTY VILLA

UP THE MIGHTY VILLA in the title is a reference to the fabulous Villa Vlog by Canadian Villa Fanatic, Peter Schaad - The Holy Trinity.
• English Premier League...
A must watch Villa vlog, Pete takes vlogs to a new level.
Thanks Pete.
My walk to Villa Park has been practically the same since the 1970s, from where I have parked my little car near to where the HP Sauce factory used to be, via a shop owned by such friendly people in order to buy two Kit Kats and a Bounty for security guards to thank them for their service. Then to the grounds of Aston Hall, where, depending on whether it is open, pre-match coffee and cake and chat.
Finally down the slope towards the magnificent Holte End.
Very early today in order to savour the build up and to sing my new version of the Holte Enders in the Sky song ...
Join in now.
As I walked on The Holte End on a Dark and Dusty Day.
I came across a City fan running far away
I said to that poor city fan
it looks like you will lose
'cause you've got Wayne Rooney
and he's been on the booze
Yippee ay a
Yippee ay o o o
Holte Enders in the sky.
So if you are a City fan just don't come up the Holte
Cause Blues will lose
And it will be all Wayne Rooney's fault
For Villa fans rule Birmingham of that we're very sure
Cause we've all seen and they've all heard
Holte Enders in the Sky
Yippee ay a
Yippee ay o o o
Holte Enders in the sky.
Classic song revisited.
Uni Emery, a manager with dignity and intense application to detail, who never attacks referees unlike too many other managers, has created in one year a formidable team at Fortress Villa, 14 straight home wins in the Premier League.
Bring on Arsenal!

I was there in the 60s. I was there at Wembley when we lost to Spurs. I was at the Norwich final, the three Everton League Cup finals; Villa fans will know what I mean. I saw Ron Saunders side move from League two to the First Division. At Highbury we won just that and in May 1982 I was at Rotterdam.
You get the picture.
Photographs and more videos will be on my Facebook page but beware I have a lot of interests so not everything there will be about the fabulous ASTON VILLA. You have been warned.
