Should we rename the club to include Birmingham in our name?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

No No and thrice no! We were not part of Birmingham when we were formed, so why would we want to steal their name?

Some would say that you're obsessed with 'them'.

I reply to a post about changing our name to include part of theirs, so i get accused of being obsessed with 'them'. Dear oh Dear, is it really ME that's obsessed...

Aston was part of Birmingham when Villa were founded. It wasn't until 1903 that Aston seperated from Birmingham and then it was only for eight years.

So if we were ever to build a new stadium in the future, do you guys think it should only ever be built in Aston?

A lot of clubs don't play where they were formed e.g. Small Heath play in Bordesley, Milwall play in Bermondsey, Everton play in Walton etc.

Isn't it about time we moved back to Handsworth then?

I'd love to be able to go back in time and study Google Earth from 1874 - 1911.

Where a club's stadium is means nothing to the name of the club. I mean, Chelsea play in  Fulham for god's sake.

It rejoined Birmingham in 1911 after the boundary changes in 1904 made it a seperate district.

 When we were formed Aston was considered part of Birmingham. As I posted in the previous page there is evidence showing this.

The Birminghams coat of arm was used in a presentation to Villas retiring Chairman in 1899 and a team photo in 1887 has several players with the coat of arms
