1st trip to Villa Park was in '76. Really started going properly from 1980. Became a Season Ticket holder on Holte End in 1981and then started travelling away from 1983. Went nearly every game home and away, except for Europe, for 4 years and then moved to London in '86 and went whenever I...

I lived in Studley, about 20 mile out of Birmingham, from the age of 3 - 19. Once a Villain always a Villain.

As someone who has just recently joined this thread and a supporter of a so called 'bigger club' I really don't get why supporters of the 'bigger clubs' try to laud it over the 'smaller clubs' because they have a higher away average. I take my hat off to the likes of Leeds, Sheef Wed...

If we're talking the good old days and scary places to go I always thought Boro when they were at Ayrsome Park was a nervous day out, that was a grim place. Then there were the usual suspects of Elland Road, The Old Den, Upton Park and Maine Road certainly had an aura about it. For us Leicester...

All this means is that Blues will wait on the route back to the City Centre and then pick off anyone walking down 10mins after the Blues lot as they will know they're Villa. Trouble these days is nowt compared to the 80's. Remember going to Small Heath with about 12,000 Villa in the early 80's...

Yeah that was them, probs only a couple of 100 singing but they were constant. Great banter with the Villa, especially as we were right next to them having sold out the whole away end.

Well worth the wait

Just got back from Reading and have to say fair play to their small group of home fans who sang most of the night. Were a lot better than I expected.

Pretty sure Villa will sell out Cardiff as its on 2nd Jan.

I would be amazed if we went down this season. As previously stated, when we have a manager, probably Bruce, who actually plays a system that works in this division i.e. don't get overrun in midfield, we have the squad to at least challenge for play-offs. Looking like we may sell out at Reading...

As a Villa fan I'm a bit embarrassed by the club putting out **** about us being the biggest followers in land. To be fair any decent size club coming down to the Championship for the 1st time in a while will get large followings. It's the clubs who have been down here a while and still get...

Our away support has been really good so far this year, but I do think we'll see a massive drop off next year when the novelty disappears as we start another season in the Championship. Anyways got to go as off to another ground I haven't been to for a long time. Deepdale here we come.

Off to Barnsley tonight and Preston on Saturday for first time in a while. Best pub for away fans?
