I follow the club as much as i can now (due to money) but i had a season ticket for 10 years and did every away game money allowed. Shall i stop following us cus i ent from brum?As I say, it's just how I feel. I have nothing against people supporting Villa from wherever but I do think it's a different experience for those of us who have grown up in around brum (and Blues fans) to those that haven't. I think the main reason Blues fans are so bitter towards us (other than the lack of trophies, insane jealousy etc.) is that the massive majority have grown up with their faces being rubbed in it by Villa fans.As we have more supporters from outside Brum who haven't had that intense rivalry drummed in to them because they have grown up in Gloucester, Milton Keynes or wherever then I don't think they understand pure loathing of a local rival. It's why I am sceptical about people saying they 'hate' Spurs, Newcastle etc. because 'hate' and 'dislike, annoy' are two different things. I'm not sure you understand 'hate' unless you have lived it.Just my opinion and long may the extended Villa family remain. Looking at attendances I think we need it.

If there was a choice of either Liverpool or Blues to get relegated - how many of you would choose the Scousers?I would!
