Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 19 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19 They can pull far bigger followings for games which really matter. They are a big city club who have gone through the shit for far too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 19 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19 I've done the derbies at both grounds with Villa, the intensity of hatred is brilliant to see. It's a real experience being in a 21 black cab convey of zulus being dropped off at the back of the Holte End Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All round gut feeling is the key. I think we edge it via trophies, Europe and more years in the top flight What have they got over us? If its fan potential it's because they are from a city of over 1m Even in the PL their followings didn't compare to Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think a brilliant time in their history like you would say forest. I've only ever known them in dissary with pretty shit crowds for a massive city. Villa is the city club really. Can't even name many proper famous players bar Trevor Francis and Ted McMimn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If Brum had any ambition, they wouldn't have sold the Bellingham brothers so young. Jude's only 20 and Jobe's just 18 now but has 6 Championship goals so far this season - including a double against Rotherham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Yes. Fuck it. Why not. Crowds are piss poor considering they’re from a city. Must be way behind us on years in the top flight, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Seen them bring poor followings same time massive ones very inconsistent but in a nutshell much bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Not directly answering the question but I think of it more like categories rather specifically bigger than a single club. I’d have Brum very much in the same category as us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s definitely someone bigger than Palace too but I’m not sure who. Possibly Pompey or Wolves? Slight aside but in terms of similarity, my mates a Boro fan and when you compare us with them, which we’ve done many a time over a few pints, we’re incredibly similar in terms of size, time in the prem, foreign stars, European trips, local lad done good owner (theirs with deeper pockets than ours) even the same League Cup final!
