Punjabi Villans have been around a while and have won awards.

[Sexual Ealing]

I love those lads.

Yes I was aware of those guys, is Punjabi a cultural or religious thing, apologies for my ignorance in these matters.

Heritage/Culture really, a lot like a scottish or welsh fan club would be, but obviously with deep ties to Islam as the primary religion for the region.

Sikhism is the majority religion in Punjab, isn't it?

Edit: it is. Islam less than 2%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Punjab,_India

Sikhism is the majority religion in the bit of Punjab that's in India. Most of the Punjab is in Pakistan and mostly Muslim.

Of course it is and is what I intended to write but I was half reading a something about the Maccabi thing and my brain went into auto-pilot.

[Sexual Ealing]

Ah, I'm still getting used to partition.

[paul_e]

Oh, I was with you and thought that applied both sides of the border, so I guess I was right by accident the first time?

That's the demographics of the Punjab state in India. 53.2% Muslim throughout the whole area known as Punjab.

I'm thinking of setting up the Zoroastrian Lions (aka Avesta Villans). Anyone interested?

[john2710]

The problem here isn't necessarily the Maccabi fans, that should, with the right level of policing & restrictions on movements be something they could control.

it's the potential for thousands of far right pro-Israeli and pro-Palistinian to use this game as an opportunity to clash in the streets around Aston. Some of whom will be intent on getting at the Maccabi fans.

I've seen or read some absolute nonsense today, ranging from why doesn't Prince William intervene to questioning whether we should now be allowed to host European tournament games in 2028.

[cdbearsfan]

I think the Punjabi Villains are mostly from/descended from people from the Indian side or Sikhs who lived on the other side pre-partition and are therefore mostly Sikh, though. I may be wrong.

[Somniloquism]

Where was Starmer, Badenoch, Farage and the rest when the same SAG didn't allow the Divali festival last week?

[PeterWithesShin]

From everything i've seen, both Punjabi Villa and Punjabi Wolves are mainly Sikh. I use both as they are the well known local ones.
