I'm from Northfield and although there are more blues round here than elsewhere in Birmingham, there's still an equal amount of Villa.

I live in Northfield too. I would say its still a blue area although there are plenty of Villa round here. As you go further out; IE: Redditch  I think (only my opinion) it goes to Villa.

They haven't got an area of support, they've got a corridor along the A45 and that's about it.

Don't let Kenny Rubery Blue hear you say that.

I've got quite a few mates from Northfield and they, bar one, are Villa fans.

And a good mate of mine who is a one of them grew up in Erdington.

In truth there is no 'divide'.

I agree.

It was my first suspicion which is why I simply answered, all the help with school work was always appreciated. Although not sure how you would quote a pauliewalnuts or John M'Zog in your final summary!
I agree.

My house is Villa but next door is Blues, hope this helps.

You live in a Villa but next door is the Home of the Blues, yes?

Fabulous. I bet you get to hear some wonderful music. Did Muddy Waters ever play there?

No, but Robert Johnson did just after I'd bought his soul.

Tend to agree, I've been in the Northfield area for, lets say a long time, nearly all my mates are bluenoses. as you go down towards Selly Oak, Stirchley and Selly Park it definately changes.

I used to live in Northfield a few years ago and would say that it was pretty equel with the baggies also having quite a few fans to.

Shocking news that Chris has bought Robert Johnson's soul. What with the burglary and now this sale, the Francis's must be going through some hard times.

I'd say Kings Norton is mainly Villa. I don't live there just what I've seen from the area.

There is no one particular area that is exclusively (or even predominantly) Villa, Blues or whoever.

Kingstanding isn't predominantly Villa? Or Aston coming to that? Perry Barr? etc etc

Have to disagree there Lee. Are you telling me that Kingstanding, Erdington and Sutton are not predominantly Villa?
