I'm thinking that the attachment of William Windsor to our club must be difficult for the Noses. On the one hand, he is absolute proof that Villa is the club of the posh/shires etc. On the other hand, my lived experience has been that the working classes have always been divided into the left leaning and the forelock tugging. Generally, those whose knuckles are more proximate to the ground are the forelock tuggers and the more intellectually capable tend to be the left leaning. So, although he encapsulates our 'posh' fanbase, he is also undeniably the Prince of Wales, future King etc. Nuance not being their thing, this must be difficult for them.

+1 for the Ulster posse.

+2 we're everywhere

👍 Proper rebels up North, not like the Cork wannabes.

Pah.
Didn't realise how many people support Aston Villa in the north of Ireland, just coming over from Derry airport and talking to a girl from Buncranna who told me the Villa well supported there, amazingly she  was related to a old friend

Cambridge has (or had, not sure if it's still going) a Northern Ireland Villa supporters club. There were only about 15 people in it but that's not too bad, really.

A group of Northern Irish Villa supporting individuals living in Cambridge is a bloody niche demographic.

Oh it was a University club. Lots of Northern lads there, mainly studying engineering as I recall.

Which makes sense, I suppose, given the accent.

That Dub is a bit of a problem, I won't lie.

But then I'm quarter Leitrim, so nobody's perfect.

Just a thought on this subject of celebrity fans.......no pictures or any sightings of Nigel Kennedy recently.  Is everything OK there?  Does anyone know if he was in Istanbul?

Currently in the middle of a UK tour. So probably difficult to get the time off.

I saw a picture of him about two weeks ago or so that was taken recently.  He's touring again soon.

He was probably staying at the Four Seasons, which might be out of the price range of most Villa fans.
