is collymore right?

[dave.woodhall]

He is without doubt a Villa fan. He is not from Birmingham though so he wouldn't understand the demographics. Brum is approx  50%villa 45% small heath and 5%. Ollbeyun IMHO

Well that's put me in my place. Sorry for not knowing as much about  Villa supporters as you do.

My reply was to aj2k77. He quoted Collymores book which said Birmingham is full of rag supporters. I offered my own opinion. It's not a fact as I don't know everyone in Birmingham. That's why I said IMHO. I forgot to factor in the glory hunting
hordes.

You said that because he wasn't from Birmingham he wouldn't understand the demographics of support in the city.

Well not living or being raised in the city he wouldn't would he? I'd have thought that was obvious. He said in his book that Birmingham "was full of rags" and not Villa fans. Do you think he's right then? 

I think he's wrong because he's wrong, not because of where he was born and raised. Now, let me get this straight. You think it's "obvious" that you can only know about where Villa fans come from if you're from Birmingham?

[The Edge]

Can't the moderators delete the Collymore debates  other than his time at the Villa.  If I wanted to read about a Wolves Supporter I would go on a  Wolves forum.

Nonsense. Why would anyone lie about what club they support. He's a Villa fan and that's that.

If he's a Villa fan then why did he put in his book Birmingham is full of rag supporters and not Villa?

I really don't know, but why would anyone go through life saying he's a fan of one club when in reality he's a secret fan of another?
It's just nonsense. He's a Villa fan.

No idea, Collymore makes little sense at the best of times to me.

He is without doubt a Villa fan. He is not from Birmingham though so he wouldn't understand the demographics. Brum is approx  50%villa 45% small heath and 5%. Ollbeyun IMHO

Rubbish - Brum is 50% Villa. 30% Small Heath, 5% Albion and 15% assorted Glory Hunters . I exclude transient student types but those that stay add to the Glory Hunters pool

Thanks for putting me right with the difinitive figures. Mine was just a guess.

Well I didn't say that did I?  I'd say if you live in a city you would have more idea about it than someone who doesn't. That's obvious to me. Why are you taking my reply to someone else so personal?

You said exactly that and just did again. I'm taking it personal, as you put it, because I want to.

I did not say you only know where Villa fans are from if your from Birmingham.

The bickering-is it really needed? There are too many instances of this type of pettiness on here.

It's tiresome

Obviously it should be a question on the next Census.

Which football club do you support ?
Jedi Knight.

[aj2k77]

There's probably more Josies Giants fans in Birmingham than rags.

Seems pretty sensible to me.

I'd say I had a better idea of supporter ratios in the city since moving here.

Collymore boycotted Villa Park when he was under contract and being paid a fortune .....
Sorry but this is a second rate broadcaster who the major channels won't touch
He has to come out with the rubbish he does just to try and keep his profile
However basically he is simply a thug and has always blamed everybody bar himself for his many failings
I recall reading his life story where nothing was his fault and then read Gazza's who stated the mistakes were of his own making
In all honesty i doubt if Collymore is actually a Villa fan but it suits the profile to state he is

[Gregorys Boy]

I believe in boycott's for certain reasons such as when Man City fans were changed £75 or whatever it was at Arsenal a few seasons back, but no not just for this.  I mean if a fan doesn't want to go or can't go for money reason or family reasons then that's fine, but I don't think you should boycott just because of awful form.

It's not boycotting for awful form, it's boycotting to let the current custodian and the current Boardroom know that their incompetence will not be tolerated.

No I understand that, but it won't make a difference. Not this season at least, if fans did it next then it might make a difference, but I'm still against it in pricipal.

It's not boycotting for awful form, it's boycotting to let the current custodian and the current Boardroom know that their incompetence will not be tolerated.

[villainjock]

I'll be there today and next season, I'll still support the team as always,but I will no longer be buying anything from the club,  programme, food, shirts or drinks.
