Where is the safest place to drink for an away fan at VP? I've heard The Holte is ok to drink in.
-
Trolling level = piss poor
-
The Garrison
-
There's not many that take coach loads
-
The Garrison
That'd mean making your own way though
-
Try and sneak a couple of cans onto the coach and drink them before you try and sneak into the away end.

Yes the Holte is a great place to drink and will welcome you with open arms. Don't forget to wear your colours.

You've had about four days to come up with that. Couldn't you think of anything funny?
-
The safest place for you to drink would be on your own sofa with a cup of cocoa love...
-
I'd have thought you’d be working nights at The Rover on that night.
-
Cobs Bar on Sherlock Street.
-
He's undergoing some sort of phobia therapy.
Step one - look at their website.
Step two - join their website.
Step three - post on their website.
Step four - leave the house.
Step five - catch the bus to their ground.
Step six - catch the bus to their ground when they're actually playing.
Way to go yet cup-cake.

Fucking rubbish bantz.
You're not very funny are you?
-

Not really. His sister's a Villa fan.
-
I'd imagine if you turn up at the Holte you'll be doing your drinking from the safety of your hospital bed.

Cobs Bar on Sherlock Street.
You'd have to give him directions and he'd still get lost.

You should know better than us chap, we aren't from round here. You might want to stick to the offie, save yourself a few quid as you'll be missing your night shift.

You've just Googled "sumfink funny" haven't you?

Drink Anywhere you like big-shot, after all you're Blues and you rule the city and all us yokels from the shires will be cowering away in fear for the evening.

Come to the social mate, I've had enough of all this posturing, we can walk to the ground hand in hand singing 'West Midlands' la la la.

I've got a client ref going spare as well if you want a match ticket. Come and sit next to me in The Holte End - you could even wear your Peaky Blinder outfit if you want to? You'll be safe as houses, there'll be hundreds of Blues everywhere.

Posts bantz, gets piss taken out of him, goes back to SHA for congrats on 'winding the vile hiv'ers (sic) up'.
God bless the internet.

Got your coach ticket yet mate?

-
I guarantee he doesn't have the balls to go in the Holte. Just another of their "look how hard I am on the internet" brigade.
-
It's a poor show when your only answer is to post gifs. Have any of your mates got a brain? If so ask them to help you.
-
He's spent 2 hours on a Villa site. I think it's pretty obvious he has no mates.

They don't really get school mate. That was probably during the first day.

You don't need to worry about a pub, the police will escort you off your 30 official coaches straight into the ground. I've seen them jibe that we took coaches there in the quarter final, what they don't grasp is we took 4500 fans and the coaches were from across the Midlands, not official coaches. We don't do official coaches for Blues or Albion and never will.
We need a song for the game about them hiding on their coaches.

This is that Gary Rowett whopper from SHA.
A while ago he was trying to explain to the dopes on SHA that, as they draw their support from an area of Birmingham about the size of Blackburn, it's not surprising that their crowds are about the same as Blackburn's. The rest of the deluded fucktards almost spontaneously combusted.
So although he comes across as bit educationally sub-normal on here, over there he's like the fucking Wizard of Oz.
-
They think he's a genius because he doesn't write with a crayon. Tells plenty of porkies though, like being in the Holte in 2003 shouting them on. Not a single Nose, should any have been there, having the bottle to make themselves known notwithstanding, he must have been about 12 years old at the time.

We do, QV.
"Blues come down, Blues come down, Blues come down together, 30 coaches and a train....hiding from the Villa".
Hope they all enjoy their big day out. Just think, they're bringing over 11 times as many fans as they took to Middlesbrough two seasons ago, and West Ham in the Premier League five or six seasons ago. 250. And yet they think they're entitled to more tickets. Hilarious.

How many times more than they took to Sunderland on a night game in the Premier League that was live on Sky? We took more to Carlisle either the night before or the night after for an FA Youth Cup Quarter-Final.
Their away support really is pitiful, although whether it is more embarrassing than their home turn-outs is a hard one to call.
-
Didn't they take 100 to Sunderland, a fair few of them were probably left up there from the previous encounter who failed to find their way home.

Ah, I'd always referenced that Sunderland game as being a League Cup fixture, but if it was Premier League, that's even better. They took 80 fans, didn't they? Remember seeing a photo at the time. Would love to see it again.
For now I'll just leave this image of them at Middlesbrough here...
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bky7Vt4CAAA1Kt0.jpg)
Important to note that the following they took to MK Dons the other week was because they were all trying to get their booking history up for the Villa game and that, even then, they still couldn't sell out and took half what Wolves managed a couple of seasons back.
Them and the albion battle it out for worst home and away support by some distance. Funny how they can always muster a crowd for 'the vile' though, is it not?
-
There is a good Burnley comparison between the respective away supports out there too.
-
A Tottenham mate said the one year they had as many there as you'd expect from Wigan.
It must be the curse of the once a century cup win.
-
When they played West Ham away in the first leg after they beat us they only had 2900 which is the normal league allocation, and they struggled to sell out. Didn't see or hear them complaining about their allocation then. Their away support actually turn out in numbers about three times a season; last away of the season when they think they're fantastic for selling out at Bolton, a novelty new ground such as MK Dons, and a local game like Wolves. Although I remember watching them on tv at the Albion one year and they hadn't sold out, piss poor. They've got Ipswich away on Sky next Friday, I predict 150.
-
Funny you should say that, Percy. In 2013/14 their average away following was 1200 - just 70 more than Wigan who get a lot of stick for poor followings. As QV points out, that's an average boosted by those few games a season where they decide to support their team.

I'm pleased you've mentioned that League Cup semi-final. They didn't sell out. Entitled to 3500 but only took around 2600 of the 2900 allocation. Unbelievably bad for a LC semi.
How embarrassing that they've had people queuing at The Sty overnight for tickets yet, as you say, won't come close to selling their miserly allocation for Ipswich. "Would you like an Ipswich away ticket as well, Sir?" No, I only care about the Vile. Sad.

Although you could argue that as every single one of their fans is an embarrassment the fewer of them that there are gathered together is in a way actually less of an embarrassment than loads of them.

To think their fans are trying to make this a bubble fixture as well, in order to keep themselves safe. Cringeworthy. They'll have 600 in the Holte though...

its gone up now to between 1 and 2k along with flags like they have done before like a group who stood up for the entire game in the lower holte singing blues songs in 2003.
they just keep on coming

When our new friend from SHA started this thread, he was probably expecting a gratifying barrage of violent threats, followed by a hero's return to his own club's cavernously empty forum. I don't suppose he saw it panning out like this.
-
Theyre still banging on about this 19th minute applause and singing, like we used to with Petrov. Please drown the mongrels out.

Just read on the Beeb website that a new human like species has been found in South Africa. I think that we ought to inform the scientists that here in Brum we have our very own human like species living among us. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-34202249

That's not a historical find, it's just what happened to those poor souls lost lokking for Sherlock St.
-
I just feel sorry for the owners of the coaches who have to mop up all the drool after the Sty dwellers have been in them.
Also I'm very disappointed that this thread wasn't started by the real El Mayor from his cave in Katowice but another poor SHA troll.

Whatever happened to that picture of the knuckledragger with the stained 'wife-beater' vest? Surely that was evidence of a living human-neanderthal hybrid.

Poor old Mr Quinn will have to try his hand at trolling via his blog in the Meaning Evil instead.
Get your bingo cards ready for "Blues all over he ground".

He's a massive knob head who drinks in the square peg. He walks round all the time asking everyone if they support da blues. I was unfortunately on a bus he was on once, I think the rags were playing Leicester at the time, whoever it was anyway Marlon King was playing for them and he was singing some daft song, on his own about him being a rapist.
Of course the rags signed him not long after, which made me chuckle as I could imagine that halfwit getting thoroughly behind his rapist in the half empty Sty. Simpletons to a man they are.
-
I wonder what odds I can get that Mr Lives in Solihull is one of those that will regularly go on about our support not coming from Birmingham.

Sounds like a real charmer. I'd love to see that picture again, it was a classic.

I don't think their support has ever recovered from the 80's. It's never been good anyway but having a ground that was completely neglected that ended up looking like a scrap iron yard, sparsely populated by morons looking for random fights. No wonder the majority of Birmingham shun them like the leppers they are and get behind the claret and blue.
-
They'll never live down those 5 years in the late 80s and early 90s when they couldn't even average 9K. 6K in 1989.

I think it was when the promised massive support never materialised when they got promoted after sixteen years out of the top flight. Okay, they sold out their tiny ground for a season or two when they all thought they'd have to get season tickets to get in against the Villa, but when they realised they didn't HAVE to go v Charlton etc to get in for the big games, their support tailed off badly.
That's when the dream (being 'bigga dan da Villa') died.
-
If you ever want a reminder of their 'support', only 4 times in their history have they averaged more than we did last season. A season where, overall, we think our attendances were a bit crap.
-
I would say they'll be moving on to stories about how their double hard super-Zulu firm scattered some ordinary fans walking back from their ground, but they're way ahead of me on that count.
Common theme you find when speaking to fans of other teams about visiting the Sty, their habit of routinely picking off the ones and twos always comes up. There was a video of their new-uber-super-double-hard 10 man strong Zulu Youth firm bashing up a Liverpool mini-bus from a season or two back too as another example.

last time we played them at night , before the match ,, there was a load of blues walking round aston park in the dark kicking shit out of young villa fans who were in ones and twos ,,,

They're too washed up to do even that these days. One of the hooligan coppers told me that they haven't got the numbers to cause any serious problems round Villa Park, the police operation is all about protecting them.

Williams could barely manage a turn out of 100 of them 12 years ago.

A mate and I met this particular group before that game. We were walking near the junction of Trinity Road and Bevington Road when a group of around twenty came round the corner crossing the road straight towards us. Two of us and a mob of them. We both knew exactly what was coming but couldn't do anything about it. They got about ten yards away when a Police Van came round the corner and veered away from us and just walked past.
Never been so happy to see the Old Bill in my life as we were five seconds or so from getting a right hiding. Whenever I think of Noses, this is exactly what they are like. Mob handed, picking off ones and twos.
-
I know I'm going to get a bollocking for this but, I've stood in 50k crowds at the sty, a long time ago but definitely 50k or more.
-
Very likely, Dave. It is the 10,000 they got for the rest of the season that buggered their average gate.

Were there, perchance, a lot of away fans?
-
I'd imagine the vast majority were against us or later rounds of the FA Cup. I'm pretty sure it's over 30 years since they last had a 40K attendance. Assuming you don't count the 3 million they took to the Leyland Daf final.
-
The last time they had a decent crowd involved those in attendance choosing whether they go Roundhead or Cavalier.

I may be wrong, but I think the last time they had 30k plus would have been for an FA Cup game against Forest nearly 30 years ago.
-
They had over 40K against us Dec 27th 1982. I'm guessing that's the last time they managed 40K.

Isn't the last 30,000+ league attendance they got against us? Pretty sure it is and pretty sure it's a long time ago, nearly the 70's.
-
Actually, thanks to the internet, their last 30K attendance was Forest in the FAC 5th Round. 1988. Stop sniggering at the back!
They also had 40K vs Watford in the Cup in 1984. Then there was the game I mentioned above against us. 32K against us Feb 1982. 33K against us Oct 1980. And 33K last day of the season against Notts Co in Aug 1980 as they were promoted. And that kiddies, is every 30K attendance they've had since Jan 1st 1980.

Idea for noses, rather than risk getting off the coach and entering a dangerous pub in B6. Stay on board, knock one out into a pot noodle and drink that once you see the hallowed and sacred beautiful ground in Aston.

Be warned though. 2000 Villa have got tickets to the coach park.

I know I'm going to get a bollocking for this but, I've stood in 50k crowds at the sty, a long time ago but definitely 50k or more.
I'm actually with you on this one Dave - i was at FA Cup 5th rd i think v Spuds over 50k there around 1970 ish 0-0 draw if memory serves lost replay 6-0

Only come to see the Villa springs to mind.

They had 45,000 against us in Feb '68, but there were was a massive Villa contingent if memory serves.

Not once but twice inside a minute. Should the police have ran on the pitch to arrest him in hindsight?

Definitely. Gobby should have been arrested for impersonating a footballer, and having the temerity to walk around upright on two legs.

My ailing memory tells me they had around 46k in the 1975-76 season where we had the whole of the Tilton ( lost 3-2). There must have been 10-12k Villa there that day as we had fans in the Railway end too.

Two hits in a minute...that's a pretty good strike rate.
As much of a twat that Savage is, I think the police running on the pitch to arrest him is going a bit too far.

All this "hur hur, you come on the coach" stuff is a bit childish, isn't it? It's not really hard to understand why that might be the case, or why it might be a good idea.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike Blues as much as any right thinking Brummie should do, but all this hinting at aggro stuff - whether it be the coach stuff, or the "there'll be Blues everywhere" rubbish - is a bit puerile.
Last time at their place when there was all that aggro on the pitch, I had a colleague in Spain sending me links to the story in their media with "wtf is this all about" style comments, and it really was pretty embarrassing.
It reflects terribly on the city and it's a bit disappointing to see otherwise intelligent people on here slipping so effortlessly into the hoolie vernacular. Frankly, it makes them look a bit stupid. On both sides.
I hope there's a great atmosphere and it's a great match, but it's a shame when you end up thinking about how much you hope there aren't any trouble-making pricks in evidence as you do about the match itself.

If a nose makes himself known near you in the ground you will still give him a good shoeing though won't you. I will, after all their bravado again they deserve anything they might get. It's a free hit as the stewards won't touch you as they shouldn't be in the home end.

I take your point paulie but it's the juxtaposition of them making out we're all scared and them getting coaches that makes me go 'hur, hur'.
I get it. They've got 2,800 tickets, the vast majority of the people who will get those tickets aren't thugs. They know there are going to be a quite a lot of thugs, or more accurately people who turn into thugs when we play them, at Villa Park. You can't blame them for wanting to be safe, but even the relatively normal ones amongst them delight in, and happily associate with, the myth that they're all hard as nails and we're all soft as shite.
They hang onto the myth because everything else about their tin-pot, two-bob club is so pitiful, They tell us that they've got 2,800 tickets because we're scared of too many of them coming, they make out we're all posh c***s from the sticks while they're all descendants of the (fictional of course) Shelbys of Small Heath, they do that high-pitched 'Veela' thing to imply we're all little girls.
And then avoid any possibility of confrontation like the plague by getting coaches across three miles of a city that they say they run. I'm sorry but it is funny.

There's a lot of teeth gnashing and winding up going on here, which lets face it is exactly what the Blues lads want. personally I'm bored of it now. I'll just look forward to the game. Of course a win for us won't stop them claiming some moral victory, but I'll ignore that too. Let them talk, and we'll just do.

I know I'm going to get a bollocking for this but, I've stood in 50k crowds at the sty, a long time ago but definitely 50k or more.
Checking the records there were 29k for our league visit there in April 1957. We were back there in the August and 50k turned up.
I wonder if Johnny and Peter did a lap of honour with The Cup.

It's easier to play the "don't take yourselves so seriously" card when you have zero ambition for your own team though. It's this bizarre, projected self loathing that marks them out as a proper set of weirdos.

Lots of Excitement going back to town also.
I think the myth of " we rule the city" was truly buried that night.
I do not want to repeat postings from memories, but hey from my first visit to the sty in 69 as a 13 year old, when they rained bricks on Villa fans paying to get in from the shit heap of the Kop, things changed.
In the mid 70,s it was Villa.
I can not comment about after that as I was not around, but I do not see pages of us trying to say how tough we are.
For the delusional tossers who claim to be luluuuus, shame, I guess we all have to believe in something.

Bullshit, we've never taken more than 5k to The Sty according some bloke SHA. Meanwhile, back in the day, up to 20k of them would regularly descend on VP in one irresistible force claiming half of The Holte, half of The Witton Lane stand and the whole Witton End.
-
I remember them having all the Witton End in the mid 70's when it was terracing and uncovered, don't know how many it would have held
It was raining and they were losing, they took their shirts off and started windmilling them around their heads whilst chanting stuff in defiance, I remember as a young teenage boy being mildly impressed at the time

Have a look at the YouTube footage of the 1987 game at the Sty, there was more than 5k in the first pen of the Tilton, we were crammed in like sardines across three pens whilst the few thousand noses there lolled about with no one near them.

I was kind of classing that as the third pen, that was supposed to be the 'no mans land' between the two sets of fans but it was that rammed That they had to open it, at the time it was laughed off but it was hideously overcrowded.

I met an elderly nose whilst on my holidays....He was rather courteous towards the Villa and told me that he regularly went to Blues one week and then Villa the next.
We had a good long chat about the state of Midlands football and I asked why he did not go to matches anymore....he said that at his age it was a bit of a trek from Solihull, so I asked what was the last game he went to...he took a good 5 mins to think about it and said 1956 FA Cup Final v Man City ( I think Bert Trautmann broke his neck in this game).....then he says sadly "the Blose lost" :)
still he wished the Villa all the best.

My dad was there. Seems to have followed a similar path to the Doc's chap, only he stuck it until the following year, then pretty much gave up on them after the semi at Hillsborough against that year's losing finalists. He's not been to a game in my lifetime, as far as I can make out.
Thank fook for that!

Ha! My dad was the same, got tickets for the game in 1956, but couldn't get a ticket for Villa in '57.
In fact, Dad saw Blues, West Brom and Wolves in FA Cup Finals. He played for a local team in Smethwick that were given tickets by the FA, nobody else wanted them. Strangely, he couldn't get the tickets in '57. It was 2000 before he managed to get to see Villa in the Cup Final...what a let down that was!
