Hooliganism on the rise?

Whats WBA away like? Is it rough for Villa fans?

The worst trouble Ive seen at a West Brom v Villa game was when some fans were shouting over the wall under the stand at half time. Someone kicked their foot against the dividing door in a slightly aggressive manner.
Its a joke that the police always force this fixture to an ultra early kick off time, its nothing like playing small heath.

Cheers going to try get tickets this year but just wanted heads up. Went Blues away last year, i knew it wasnt going to a nice fixture but ended up getting chased. Is it a case of sticking to the right area's a Baggies or just shouting at each other?
At VP its gunna be a 3pm kick off unless ESPN take it, i hope it will be a 3pm so people turn up for it, diddnt sell out last time we played em

I would say don't wear colours and steer clear of trouble and you'll be fine. I even sat amongst their fans in one derby (draw, when Dion missed pen)

[Lambert and Payne]

I dont generally wear colours these days anyway, shirts are too expensive and they havent really been that good in recent years but thats another matter. Hope i get a ticket i enjoy the baggies derby at vp, its a derby without pure hate and a garuntee'd no lose game. Is it good atmosphere at the hawthorns?

Anyone who thinks the Albion don't hate us is deluded.

Agreed, for most of the 30+ Ollbeyun fan they hate Villa as much as the Under 30's hate the dogheads.

I haven't seen any trouble at VP since Small Heath a few seasons ago.

Most football related hooliganism happens on the lower league scene.

Thank God.
