Claret & Blue Brum/Midlands

[dave.woodhall]

Based mainly on places I have drank on a regular/semi-regular basis, I reckon Solihull is the biggest Blose stronghold.

It certainly is at ten to three on matchday.

[The Edge]

I live in Nechells. Split about 50/50 I'd say but the more unfriendly/twattish types usually noses.

[Aldridge Villa]

I’d say Villa slightly ahead of Albion in Aldridge. A smattering of Wolves , Blues and Walsall.

Based mainly on places I have drank on a regular/semi-regular basis, I reckon Solihull is the biggest Blose stronghold.

I would say my old local in Damson Wood Solihull was 60/40 in Villa's favour.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Walsall where I'm from originally massively Villa and I used to feel slightly guilty on match days when they were more on the train going to VP rather than the Bescot. Wolves are 2nd best probably ahead of West Brom. I went to school in Aldridge and there were only 2 Small Heath fans there..

[paul_e]

I'm from Stechford/Yardley (we lived near the police station so we were right on the edge). I don't remember anyone claiming to be a Blues fan when I was in primary school, it was all Villa fans and plastic scousers. I'd say it was 93/94 when the blues fans started coming out of the woodwork by me. Now I have loads of contacts on Facebook who claim to be 'lifelong blue' that I remember having Panini stickers of Ian Rush on their school books.

[Legion]

Born and grew up in Great Barr. Now live in Walsall.

[nigel]

Grew up in Stirchley Which was a pretty even split
Been in Northfield for the past 12 years. You do see a fair amount of blues tops

[Duncan Shaw]

Walsall (South part) where it was mainly Villa - it was quicker to get to VP on the 51 (walk from Perry Barr) than to get to Bescot.  After Villa it would have been Albion/Wolves/Walsall.  Only one Nose at primary school and none at secondary (well I did get into the grammar school so no surprise there!!)

[Three Spires Villa]

Kings Heath has always had a large Villa base, Kings Norton more blue with some Villa.

[hilts_coolerking]

Born and grew up in Handsworth.  Mainly Villa, a few Baggies, no Noses.

[Chris Smith]

Live in Kings Norton now and it’s a two to one Villa Blues split. This is based on the fact that we have a Nose next door but another Villa fan the other side of him.

I grew up in Rubery which back in the 70s was definitely more Blues including a few real nasty bastards.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Grew up in Shard End, then Hall Green and Shirley when I got a bit older. My dads family (Villa fans) lived in Shard End and my moms family lived in Kingshurst (blues fans), all of which get touted as mostly blues but I'd say it's more Villa (certainly was when I was at school anyway).

 

[Sexual Ealing]

I'm from the shires and live in London. I'm who they're talking about.

[itbrvilla]

Northfield.  Mostly Villa, a few noses and occasional Wolves and Albion shirts.
