just saw this post
my times in brum gives me the impression that the bulk of villa fans are in the north of the city whilst the blue noses in the south

or am i talking out of my a@se ?

tamworth and lichfield north of brum is full on villa whilst redditch in the south is blue nose land

Broadly speaking North Birmingham is more Villa and South Birmingham is more Blues. But there's not many places where it overwhelming either way. For example theres Villa enclaves in Chelmsley and Blues enclaves in Kingstanding. Lichfield probably more Villa than Blues.Tamworth pretty evenly split and on derby days the pubs are divided into Villa pubs or Blues pubs.In the south Redditch I'd say slightly more Blues Bromsgrove more Villa. My own neck of the woods is Nechells where again it's 50/50 but on match days you have Villa pubs but on their matchday no Blues pubs. These are just my own experiences living and working in and around Brum most of my life.

I my early years, I remember fanship being much more area-specific. I get the impression that the lines have blurred over the last 20-30 years.

When I was growing up in Smethwick in the 1950's it was Villa/Albion. I only realised the Blues rivalry when I started to go to games.

Latest from Small Heath Alliance Forum: Apparently Villa faked the Covid outbreak at BMH, so we could rest players in a busy schedule. Laughable from the desperate obsessed muppets!

Because the best way of succeeding in the Premier League is to play half a dozen games in two weeks.

Birmingham fans  think they outnumbered Villa in south Birmingham since the world was created, it's a myth,as for Redditch same there except it not even in Birmingham

Funnily enough it's not until I moved to Worcestershire that I started seeing Blues fans in the wild. I lived in the Midlands proper for thirty years and can count on the fingers of one hand the number I saw out and about.

You must be mistaken, they are only native in Birmingham.

Growing up in Worcester I never met any Blues fans. Couple of Wolves and Baggies and some Villa. A lot of Liverpool though. I remember being surprised when I came back from uni in the early 90s how many Villa shirts were round town. But of course we were doing better then.

I’ve lived in their ‘heartlands’ pretty much since moving from Erdington as a kid, and it’s a total myth, they’re just areas where they have supporters, there’s always as many or more Villa there.
If you go anywhere north of the city they’re as rare as rocking horse shit.

And China presumably? I definitely remember a few years back them telling us they were going to be the biggest club in China...

In terms of who actually has the most support, the gates speak for themselves. I agree that there used to be a North/South divide but when I visit Longbridge, Kings Norton, etc now its mostly Villa.

Sherlock St is a Blues stronghold.

My missus was grew up in Edgbaston and Handsworth and had never knowingly met a Bluenose til I brought her to Chelmsley when she was about 18.

I’m not proud of myself for doing that to her.

I went to school in Bournville - plenty of noses around there, and shit holes like Weoley Castle and Northfield

[LeeB]

I’ll say this though, whenever they do congregate into a larger group they quickly turn very brave and malicious towards any Villa fans.

This!
I lived and went to school in South Birmingham and have worked the majority of my adult life in South Birmingham and Redditch and noses have always been a rarity. I was more likely to see plastic mancs or scousers than noses. Yes you'll see the odd nose but outnumbering the mighty Villa, never!
The weirdest group of noses I ever met lived and worked in Bromsgrove. I know Bromsgrove is mainly Villa but this group were off the chart; totally obsessed with Peter Enkleman.
