  • Aston Villa have to be a big football club. Formed in 1874, Aston Villa are one of the founders of the Football League and can claim big club status through their titles, support and longevity. But just how big are they?

      I've lived all over brum from Bartley Green to Sutton Coldfield. There are many more blues fans in south Birmingham like Northfield, Weoley Castle, Bartley Green, Kings Heath, Quinton and Bearwood etc than I have seen living in Erdington, Handsworth, Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Edgbaston and Great Barr. Barely ever saw a blues shirt in Kingstanding.
      I even lived on St Andrew's Road at the back of the city ground but the population round there aren't really known for being huge footy fans. As a dumb kid I'd hang my Villa shirt in the window on match days. I can report no brick came through. I'd wear it on matchdays for the banter when walking around just before and after games and used to cry laughing at the stick. The only time I didn't show my shirt or walk with it on is when the Villa came. Zulus tend to stick together and you can cut the atmosphere with a knife.
      TL;DR: I've lived all over Birmingham and have noticed more blue noses down south.

    • @19822andy
      @19822andy Před dnem

In the current Premier league there is probably only 5 or 6 clubs that you couldn't really call big.

      This video is not about these days alone as, as you rightly say, it is more about money now. When you mention revenue you are really referring to how big a business they are. This is not a financial review but it may be interesting to consider how some clubs are more football clubs and others are more businesses.

  • @johnrandall6301
    @johnrandall6301 Před 17 dny

    What you mean by 'big': is Aston Villa a 'brand'? The answer is "no." This is thanks to media coverage, which tends to hang on to the branding they applied in the early years of the Premiership. So, despite being mid-table / below Villa in the table, the media continue to represent Chelsea and Man Utd as 'big' clubs because they need to sell the brand. The vast majority of Villa fans are local to Birmingham and the Midlands - whereas Man City, Man U and the other 'big' brands have attracted a global fan-base... because of their branding. Man City has had rapid branding since becoming the property of Abu Dhabi, attracting fans who have no real knowledge of football from before 2008, hence their fans taunting Villa supporters with the chant: "Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that", unaware that Villa were one of the first English champions of Europe.
