Inspired by the off topic conversation about random Birmingham places, I must confess I find the geography of God's own back garden pretty intriguing. I've been to random islands in Thailand but was in my 30s before I'd heard of Stockland Green.
Based mainly on places I have drank on a regular/semi-regular basis, I reckon Solihull is the biggest Blose stronghold.

I remember years ago I was in town waiting for a bus back to my North Brum enclave, saw one was going to Weoley Castle, wondered where the hell that was so started a thread in OT asking if everyone had been and other random suburbs od Brum and think we got to about 45 pages in the end!Anyway Walmley/Sutton. Loads of Villa here, the odd WBA/SHA floating around. Strangely last week on a walk up to Wylde Green I saw three people wearing various Arsenal kits from the last 20 years.
I live in Nechells. Split about 50/50 I'd say but the more unfriendly/twattish types usually noses.
Anybody on here from Hollywood and California?

Stopped off just up from the station for a quick pub lunch and on entrance to my horror they had a massive team picture of SHA on the wall.Chris Smith might disagree with me but I'd say Kings Norton/Longbridge/Northfield part is most SHA area of the city given how close it is to their training ground and then they get the out of towners from likes of Redditch that they think just applies to us.
I went to primary school in Bournville '71-77, and I'd say it was undoubtedly more nose. Secondary school in Selly Oak and tbh I don't really remember football supporting being a 'thing' there, far more likely to get into a heated debate about music. I spent the first 40 years of my life in and around Bournville, Cotteridge, Stirchley, Kings Norton and Kings Heath, and I'd say all more nose than Villa. Now in Smethwick/Bearwood area, and I've got three Villa near-neighbours, but no sign of a stripe. The only time I notice them out is if they're on the telly in the pub. A solitary nose, too, but he never goes and only mentions football in passing if we've not had an optimal result. At our boy's school there's not much supporting apparent. One of his best mates comes from a solid baggies household and goes to their soccer school, but other than him I don't think there's much club interest amongst the kids, sadly.
