Shame they didn't do this 2 years ago when Villa, Blues, Albion and Wolves were all in the Premier League.

Twitter map finally reveals exactly where Manchester United fans live

Hardly conclusive, seeing as it's just made up of Twitter users. For instance - I doubt there's more Manchester City fans in Solihull than there are Villa, just as I doubt there's more Albion fans in Solihull than there are Blues.

Is it still there? I think I went in there once, about 12 years ago or something.

Plenty of Villa in Northfield. My experiences of there is that  at best for small heath it's 50/50.

The blues areas are the ones where you can't move around the local shops for noses proudly wearing their shirts while their team is playing at home a few miles down the road.

Yes, Northfield Saturday just gone while they are averagaing 17,000 home gates (a fair bit of which is made up of away fans).

The only area in the greater midlands region outside the city of Brum where they are a fair few noses is Solihull, otherwise they don't really exist outside the city.  That's not to say within the city there are more of them than Villa, their gates reflect the fact that there are just not that many of them anywhere, but those that do exist are predominantly in south Brum and Solihull.  There are plenty of Villa fans in working class areas of Brum, but there are also plenty of Villa fans in middle class areas of Brum, Solihull, Warks, Worcs etc, whereas i think Blose are fairly restricted to more working class areas within the city imo.

I was brought up in Handsworth Wood,which was a split between us and the Albion,but that was through the 70`s.
Great Barr now,by the Horns,which has a fair few noses around.
There`s a mixture of us,noses and Albion in most of the boozers around here.
There will always be more of us than any of them,but that`s just because it`s the way it is.
Bigger clubs always have more fans !

Places like Redditch and Tamworth have a fair number of Noses. I grew up in Rubery where they used to have have more than us, including a few real head cases, particularly late 70s, early 80s.

Well... I'm a cartographer/designer who has put together a map for the Green Bus Company showing the spread of Villa fans (season ticket holders and 'frequent attendees'). Seems like the epicentre of support is Kingstanding/Erdington/Walmley, unsurprising to anyone from those areas….

Incidentally, I have done the same exercise for Blues (season ticket holders only)… their 'epicentre' is Chelmsley Wood/Olton/Solihull. Perhaps I should superimpose the two and create a 'where it's most likely to kick off' map…..
