We all saw what happened in the North Stand which I assume was our fans found out, looked like it kicked off in the Holte End as well.

Hope our fans are all ok

Big group of us sitting together from the 1874 Lounge and an exec box of Albion right behind us, and Bloom, Barber et al next to us as well.

We got a fair bit of attention when we celebrated the goal but not too bad. Some police appeared to keep an eye on things for a while.

That part is usually OK as there is an allocation at almost every ground for away ''Geusts'' of Directors and Coaching staff. So home fans sitting round those areas must get used to having away fans around them.

There were a few bits in the Holt End and the North Stand where there were Corporate Brighton Groups. The Brighton fans didn't hold back in celebrating I heard. Police apparently dealt with them quite good as well. Apart from one Brighton fan who was on his own celebrating. Poor lad must be nursing a sore jaw this evening.

Yep, we were just along to your left with another smaller group of BHA. I was surprised by the verocity of Villa fans celebrating their equaliser. If they do that against us, I'm steering we'll clear of the Brum derby! They absolutely went mental not in a joyous way but a f uck you, aggressive hatred way. Like it was their Cup Final and we've had a long history of trouble with 'em. For a team finishing 13th with nothing to play for, it was a bit bizarre. Pure jealousy I reckon. Anyway, fair play to them. If we were in their position the Amex would have been empty long before their late equaliser. For a nothing goal in a nothing game I genuienly haven't seen such wild celebrations by home fans we were sat amongst. Had all the relevance of an Alex Revell pre season equaliser against Aldershot. Yet they went ballistic! Weird! Just weird!

I was in the North Upper and saw a fair few ejected.
The Villa fans around us knew who we were but we kept our goal celebration low key.
They did not like us being in there.

Has anyone heard that our own Lenny Rider was attacked?
My daughter has seen something on Facebook, but it's not entirely clear.

Looked like one of ours went over the barriers and went into their North end.......which prompted the angry ginger in the white tee shirt to get a bit annoyed ?

:rave: what made him bolt into their end? pretty random considering their 'end' had been average up until then.

There's been little to celebrate with Villa, the season has been a disaster which the threat of relegation at one point. I guess stopping us winning the league gave some joy, but as you say for them its irrelvant

There was a couple of us in the Doug Ellis Stand by the halfway line and when Muzza banged the pen in the bloke behind us went "YES " them apologised profusely
Me and my lad were sat on our hands smirking to death
