New Library goes Claret and Blue

First the gas towers, now the library. What next? Sherlock Street in claret and blue?

[Richard E]

"Mummy mummy those nasty Aston Villa people have got a library in claret and blue and I want one and I can't have one and its not fair mummy."

Some choice arguments from blues fans on the internet:

Their fans comprise two thirds of the city's population.

All 500,000 blues fans should vote out the current council at the next round of elections.

Absolutely delusional, and they're bad at maths.

I thought all of Birmingham supported Small Heath?

For a club that's never had anything worth having, ever, they're the most spoilt brat fans on the planet... but only when it concerns us.

Only "real Brummies".

Just think if the boot was on the other foot.

The library's actual default colours are theirs though. It has been in their colours since it opened. In a fortnight it will return to their colours. I will admit to a passing thought as I drove past it that it'd be better if it wasn't in Blues colours, but did I take to twitter or the letters page of The Evening Mail to express my outrage?

The libary's default colours are Wolves' though.

I love it when they say that. We're all out-of-towners apparently, but they never mention that their core support resides in leafy Solihull.

Very true. I like to remind them that there were Villa fans in Birmingham before their club was even formed. That line usually gets the frothing at the mouth.

I'll say it again - Erdington and Sutton two of the biggest B'ham suburbs....

"Mummy mummy those nasty Aston Villa people have got a library in claret and blue and I want one and I can't have one and its not fair mummy."

" what's a library, son?"

"It's a bit like St Andrews, mom, only noisier"

[Richard E]

"and with more people inside."

I like that, another one for the already huge arsenal.

Duly noted. Thanks.
