PrideOfBirmingham

It doesn't really matter who is bigger but I guess they are nice little bragging rights. Being able to say that Villa are the biggest club in the Midlands for example. But you don't win any prizes for simply being a big club. Only have to look at Leeds United. You won't find any Wigan Athletic fans wanting to swap positions with them any time soon.

I'm a Villa fan. Aston Villa are the more successful club (bigger trophy cabinet.) Newcastle United are the bigger club (bigger fanbase.)

Yeah but attendances is different from fanbase. You get higher attendances than Liverpool but does that mean you have a bigger fanbase than them? For example in Birmingham there are loads of Liverpool fans but no Newcastle fans. And you are right, no Midlands club can match Newcastle in support.

Clever guy
