there has always been a rivalry between us and molester city,i remember going to filbert st.in the mid 70s and seeing lots of fighting in the ground,and when we played them here in the 80s and 90s there were often big mobs of fester fans getting off the midland red buses on the ansty/walsgrave road..but it seemed to me that from the 70s -90s villa were the pnly team from the midlands apart from us who were a regular fixture in the top division,whereas brum,wba,wolves etc.were yo-yo clubs who would come up for a season or two and then disappear again(at one point there was even talk of creating a div.1 and a half for lester cos of their continual toing and froing)also the fact that we never won at villa park for a long time just added to the resentment.......i personally saw villa as a bigger,more successful team than us and so alot of my dislike for them was pure jealously whereas fester fans always thought they were better than us and i have never met one who isnt a bitter and twisted little turd with a huge chip on their shoulder
