They don't do anything for Red Nose Day. When it comes to comedy they have contributed plenty of it over the years and when it comes to giving and sharing they have given or shared loads of points with the Villa since 2005.
The Christmas 1982 debacle at the Sty, we were in the Railway End. Horrible. First win was a few months later at VP, Gary Shaw I think.

First win was a few months later at VP, Gary Shaw I think.Was the Christmas one 3-0 to them? 3 is the most I've seen them put past us. Meanwhile Ive seen us put 6 past them, 5 a couple of times and a 4.
It wasn't my first game against them and it wasn't even the first time I had seen us play them at the sty but I remember going there for a Birmingham Senior Cup final around 1983. It was on the same day as the Charity Shield at Wembley I think and a week before the season kicked off. There was a big crowd for a 'friendly' but obviously not as many as for a league game. I recall both clubs fielded their strongest teams. All I can remember other than that is that it was a hot day and Ian Handysides scored the only goal of the game.
