It took just 22 minutes for Aston Villa to sell out their 8,901 ticket allocation for their away trip to Tottenham in the FA Cup next month.

Loads of Villa fans in this area and they are a huge club, a lot of people outside the Midlands don't realise how big they are.

Regardless of where people are from, if they're football fans they all know Villa are a huge club.

They see them as a big club but don't realise how big, that's my point.

Likewise people don't understand how big Sunderland are until they go there.

United , Liverpool

Everton , City

Newcastle , Sunderland

Leeds

Sheffield Weds , United

Derby , Forest , Leicester

Coventry

Wolves , Villa , West Brom , Birmingham City

Stoke

Norwich , Ipswich

Arsenal , Spurs , West Ham , Chelsea, Palace

Southampton , Pompey

Some huge clubs there but even Derby , Coventry are bigger clubs than us

Aston Villa are the United, Liverpool of the West Milands , Wolves next in line , then Birmingham and West Brom

We have missed the boat unfortunately, it would take us 15 years of top flight football and winning things to even begin to be considered any sort of major club in this country

Thats unlikely to happen let's be honest

And I think Boro , Burnley and Bolton are bigger clubs than us too

I’d add Fulham Preston and Middlesbrough to the mix as well.
