It was about 33k wasn't it. As I said originally I think it's irony as most fans recognise us as being loyal. But the fact remains there wasn't a waiting list nor did the sold out signs go up every game!

Respect also to all Blues, the ironic cheers and jumping up and down as if we had just scored in the East Lower stand , when we finally got a decision of the ref, LMAO.
Yeah that made me laugh as well, its all about a bit of banter or should be. Some on both sides will sadly go too far but every club has their 'problem' fans.
City fans have always had a sense of humour though which is why its always been a favourite away day.

BTH said:I've been to Villa Park many a time when the place has been deserted. A good season and it's full to bursting. I certainly don't think their fans are anything special and they were giving it the big one after the match yesterday from inside the new police cordon.
Before the match in The Waldorf some Villa clown was eagerly describing Barry as a "mercenary c***" to anyone who was interested. Although you can't take anyone seriously with that accent, I asked him to name one player who doesn't play for the money. The silence deafened me. They seem to have a bee in their bonnet about Barry; the same as Everton have with Lescott. Barry was leaving whatever happened. The fact that he came to us is irrelevant. Players come and go. Villa fans need to get over Barry, but they can't. Then again, some people need to get over Richard Dunne's transfer. Good luck to him at Villa but let's have it right: he'd gone stale at our place and the change of scenery has obviously done him the world of good - if you could describe Birmingham as scenic that is!
As for the inevitable stick about our history during the first half; this is such a regular thing nowadays that it's lost all possible meaning.

Not bad for Division 3 pal and the fact we had shitty stands like the Gene Kellys

Dunne had gone stale at our place you say...........f****** clown you are.
Don't aggree mate, thought they were ok, came in fancy dress and made a bit of a day of it. Few 'knobs' outside after the game but again our lads were involved in that again.Flixton is blue said:Thought Villa were a "big club",how come they can't sell out at City then?
Shit club-shit fans
