I always bracket us with Everton as being a "proper" football club, and stats help back that up, longest time in top flight, most matches played and most internationals provided to england. Two proper stadiums, though VP is more modern, and I think similar fans, I always seem to get on better with Toffee fans than from any other club.
I heard a Bolton player - Keith Andrew I think - on 5 Live last season summarising one of our home games. He said that players loved coming to play at Villa Park, partly because it was a great ground but also because it was not intimidating
