Which areas are Villa? Which areas are Blues?

[The Walshmeister]

There is no one particular area that is exclusively (or even predominantly) Villa, Blues or whoever.

Yes there are!!

I've always thought of Yardley, Sheldon and the areas surrounding Shite Andrews as the only real "Nose" strongholds.

Bartley Green should be yellow because there are a fair few blosers about. Which is to be expected when Northfield is on our doorstep.

tao, stop posting things like this

It's a TRS-T thread. He is our resident expert on such meaningful matters and in time you will love all his contributions.

It always amazes me in Dawlish when you go to see Villa against the noses at the pub us Villa are always out numbered by about 20 to 5.

[Percy McCarthy]

That is indeed amazing. Does Dawlish have a zoo or open prison near by?

[jimmygreen]

Nah - the National Express terminates there. No one explained to them that they needed to ask for a return ticket.

I disagreed with a couple of the yellows. I would have thought Erdington was Villa and Hall Green was Blues but with people moving out of the areas they were brought up in far more than was the case years ago the lines definately get blurred. Even their A45 corridor of power (we don't go but we wear the gonads around our necks) is being eroded. As for Blues being the real Birmingham club, if that means we have support from outside Birmingham and no-one who was born outside of a Birmingham postcode can stand them then yes I'd say they are. More interesting, given the geography of the grounds, would be to ask which areas of Dundee are blue and which are tangerine?

No but funny enough there is one rough estate in Dawlish where all the drug addicts seem to get housed. It is also the same estate most of the noses live in.

If I remember aren't they next door to each other (or sort of)?

[TheSandman]

They are on the same street, a bit apart on opposing sides.

I grew up in Sheldon at a time when Villa were a third division club. It used to be said that Sheldon was a Blues area but there are now as many Villa as Blues there from what I can see.  Similarly, Solihull has as many Villa fans if not more than Blues.

[TheMitaCopier]

I'm sure there was a report about 2 seasons ago which said the average wage of blues fans was higher than the average wage of villa fans

My old man reckons a lot of the staunch nose areas of the 70's gradually spawned lots of Villa youngsters when we won the European cup and the League which has led to them being pretty equal now.
