Holte End speakers - Fans share how Aston Villa should approach season return

This is what the Villa fans make of the plans to get back underway next month

Thursday has been a significant day in piecing together how the returning Premier League will look.

Aston Villa and their 19 top flight rivals, who are back in group training and who have given the green light to conduct in full contact training, will return to the field of play next month, with Villa themselves being the first up when they host Sheffield United in their game in hand.

With matches inevitably behind closed doors, deciding on how the games will be carved up among the broadcasting companies has been high up on the list of topics that have been discussed - you can read all about the schedules here.

Aston Villa fans on plans to resume

Simon Osborn: Would it be a good idea for the squad to train at an empty VP to get used to the silence. Completely different atmosphere

Kevin Whitehouse: Whilst I wholeheartedly disagree with professional football being played in empty stadiums the fast pace of the fixture schedule will give it a summer tournament feel. Hopefully will replace the lack of atmosphere.

Seth Schoem: Just stay above the line thats all we want, final 9 games will be tough

Neil Hearne: They should play recordings of the Holte End over the Stadium speaker

Matt Shelley: #avfc beat #sufc. U heard it here first. Sheff U are an absolutely fantastic team and fair play to them, I want them in Europe over anyone else. But we are literally dog fighting for our lives now. We win this.

Lewis Price: Come on lads, make sure we are still in the league by the time we get back in the stadium

Simon Rock: I reckon 4 wins will keep us up, lets do this

Simon Lines: June 17th it is then. I remain confident we can stay up. Fresh start, no one is in form or out of form. Everyone at a level playing field. John McGinn back. 10 games to go. We need 4 wins possibly with a draw or two on top. Believe!

Richard Griffiths: So, 17th of June it is.... Behind closed doors.... I’ll watch the games where I can, I do believe we will stay up, but on the flip side I won’t be upset at all if we go down..... Premier League have handled this whole situation terribly.

Savo’s Bandana: Can’t wait for the meltdown at our starting 11 announcement on 17th june

Alex Blanchard: Everyone getting excited over the @premierleague being back; the first game is my beloved Villa vs Sheff Utd, in an empty stadium... we’ll be wishing for no more football after 20 minutes!!
