Aston Villa vs Birmingham City Pre-Match Thread

[Poppabubapoo]

Calling Blues Small Heath is not detrimental i believe that within the cauldron of St Andrews Blues sing it themselves in fact.

As for the ticket situation I'm sure it will improve and the away contingent shall enjoy singing their anthems towards their fellows in the away end.

Not many tickets been sold in the first week? Holte looks very sparse on the online ticketing.

It's not open to gen sale yet

This character will be on a comedy show soon .........
"Cauldron of St Andrew" didn't know that possibly 15000 could be described as that
Away contingent - there will be 2800 of those all in one area so dream on !

We're still in the ST holders and Villa cash window.

Have you ever stopped to read what we are talking about? It isn't your club per se, the extraordinary amount of nonsense that spews forth from your fans every time we play you. You could set your watch by it.

Imaginary occasions where you "took the Holte"

How thousands of you sit in our stands

The nonsensical thing about carrying the name of the city, like we would want to trade names

The excitable puppy routine about what the Zulus will do

The even more excitable puppy stuff about special songs for the occasion or unveiling flags in our end

The accusation that we blather on about our history when in the same conversation you can't stop talking about winning a pot more recently than us

The fact that some terrible injustice or other has been done to you. This time the allocation of tickets.

Hearing how all Villa fans don't live in Birmingham but then you being bemused that these people who aren't from Birmingham might get on a Supporters coach to a game at your ground.

Neatly forgetting that most of your fans, all from Birmingham of course because everyone in Birmingham is a nose, get, erm, coaches to Villa Park.

Having people camping out overnight to secure tickets and others offering hundreds of pounds just to be at.... a 3rd round game in the League Cup.

The constant nonsense about being "Bigga dan da villa"

Having people at work I haven't spoken to in years feel the need to try and "wind me up" because "we is da bloos, we ate the vile"

The incessant idiots signing up to our message boards to tell us we are obsessed with you. There us a pretty fatal flaw in that argument but it is lost on you.

But worst of all is the fact it seems like the very worst kind of groundhog day. That we have to listen to the same old shite every fucking time we play you. And God forbid you should beat us because,  despite us being historians and you bearing the name of the city and being ever such a huge club, we wouldn't hear the last of it from you until man colonised Mars.

And this from a club who when they did win that cup they like to tell us historians about, who took half of Birmingham to Brugge with the other half doing the Leyland Daft final, despite all that magnificent support and having every person in a city of more than a million follow them, had their cup final tickets go to general sale. Demanded a giant San Giro was built because those million would be wanting to watch matches when you were "bigga dan da villa" and whose average home attendance would fit in the Holte with room to spare, so you think it is any surprise we find playing you and the build up a wee bit tiresome?

Perhaps the best way I can describe it is with a bit of the good Mr I Welsh and his Scottish view of the English in Trainspotting.

"I don't hate the English, they are just wankers. We however have been ruled by wankers for hundreds of years".

I think you should listen to Ewan McGregor.

Season ticket holder take up has been very good. It will sell out.

A perfect synopsis of the way that I feel everytime one of those shitheads opens their gingivitis ridden mouth.

Thank you Sir!

One of the funniest memories I have of visiting "the dump" is when we went through a phase of losing there that they would see the team do a lap of honour at the end of the game because they had won one game of course against a far superior team - theres no other reason why a lap of honour would be done !

[Poppabubapoo]

As i said obsessed It is sad really.

Is that a conundrum?

It never will be open to general sale. The game will not be a sell out because of this. You HAVE to have a booking history.

[Poppabubapoo]

So being a Cheltenham lad surely you're rival should be Gloucester United?
Leicester lad surely Cov?
Benidorm lad surely you should be more interested in catching HIV rather than poating on a similar sounding forum?

[PeterWithesShin]

Is it as sad as signing up and posting on another club's forum? I think we all know the answer to that one.

[Poppabubapoo]

You are all jumping to the conclusion that im posting on a forum representing a team that i do not support

[LukeJames]

Why is that trolling? Look at the evidence prior.
Shame really as it should be an honour to host the 2011 winners.

Ffs, can just one of you inbred ****** come on here and say something witty or original? Each fuckwit is getting more boring than the last.
