Villa fan found guilty of punching nine year old City fan at Cup Final

One that stood out for me was when I went to the FA cup game there in 2006, the one when Micah scored at the end. The attendence was 23k and City took over 6k, so 17k home fans for a supposedly big club is quite a poor turnout. They seem like quite a fickle fan base.

Having said that I've been to some good away games at Villa Park and always enjoyed it as an away. Never personally had any mither there or with their fans. The 5-1 when David White scored four was probably my favourite. I always found Birmingham City a worse place to go.
 
I recall a situation with my lad that turned out very differently. After we beat the dippers 5 0 the other season, we were walking up Ashton New Road. My youngest is 11 now so he’d have been about 9 then, and was taking great delight in holding 5 fingers up to every dipper coach that went past. I warned him that one of these days a coach would stop. Lo and behold 2 mins later a coach full of dippers stops, proper fucking lads on it, and one of them probably in his mid 20’s gets off the coach and comes over. I thought here we fucking go, and then the dipper starts pretend fisticuffs with my lad, gives him a big pat on the back, shakes his hand and gets back in the coach, giving him a big wave. Not often you can call a dipper classy but that one was. The 54 year old villa knob should be so fucking ashamed. Sorry to say my lad hasn’t learned his lesson though!

Just like clubs like Arsenal, Villa had no real beef with CIty until we got the money. Barry was their boy since Youth and it appeared to be the sale that instigated a few and then Villa's demise.

I see Arsenal as the same. The stewards in our end were clearly Gooners themselves as they were utter cunts towards us.

Agree with that, in the 70s 80s and 90s St. Andrews was miles worse than villa park. More recently I think they got bitter that they used to win stuff, now we do, plus they never liked us taking Barry and Milner off them
 
I completely forgot that I got started on by a Villa fan in a bar in Corfu when I was 17. We lost 4-2. Had his entire family with him and i'd moseyed on down to a bar one afternoon to watch the game. It was obviously so traumatising that i've only just remembered it now but it's clear to see a pattern on this thread with them.

Would it have been the same if Barry had joined the dippers I wonder?

Funny you should say that
I'm 55
I was on holiday at Benlech ,Anglesey with my mum and dad around 1973 to 1975,id be 8 to 10 years old
Id come off the beach one day to go to a shop at the top main road,coming back
i heard a load of shouting and singing,a group of their fans,probably 20 to 30 all mid 20's came into view
i can clearly remember thinking should i cross to the other side of the road
and i can still clearly remember thinking they wouldn't do anything to me,a kid

I got knee'd in my balls hard

Iv always wished i could meet the **** that did that to me as i grew up

I'v always had an hatred of villa purely for this reason

daft,but there you go

True - there was a thread on here about that Arsenal fan incident and the perpetrator was roundly condemned.
I would argue though that this particular incident at Wembley - while isolated in terms of the nature of it - came about because so many Villa fans on the day were behaving like utter dickheads and someone took it way too far on the back of that. I didn’t witness any of that behaviour myself and the few I did speak to were fine but there are loads of stories knocking about of Villa fans being twats towards City fans. I still don’t know to this day what got into them - Villa Park is one of my favourite away grounds and I’ve had numerous cracking days out there over the past 30 years while witnessing very little trouble, yet when it came to their big day out at Wembley as a collective they ended up behaving worse than every other set of fans we’ve met at Wembley in the past 10 years barring one obvious exception of course. Fucking hell, even Stoke fans behaved far better in 2011.

What happened differently last season was that the media (social and mainstream) stoked them up for weeks in advance with stories about Arab money and how Villa was a bigger club. Some of their more deluded fans lapped it up.
Personally they were the worst group of fans I have seen for many years. I was verbally abused before and after the match. I kept my calm most of the time. They were targeting older fans and children all day.
It's true that United and Liverpool fans also behaved like animals at Wembley. I was accused of being a "facking Manc" by one of the drunken cockney Reds! But I didn't see any of them targeting kids.
