Report (Aston Villa - Birmingham):

The matched I looked forward to the most was, of course, the Birmingham derby and since the match kicked-off at noon I had to take the first train possible from London Euston(8.36). There were Villafans from USA and Iceland (!) near me on the train but none of them had been to Villa Park before!

Arrived at Birmingham New street 10.45 and eventually found the train to Aston. Arrived about 35 minutes prior to kick-off and took some pictures of the (almost) empty stands.

The match itself wasn´t the best in term of quality but the atmosphere, especially in the second half, was amazing. I have never experienced something like this ever and the Holte Enders can be very proud of their support to Villa. During the last 10-15 minutes everyone, even in the Doug Ellis Stand where I was, stood up and was singing/chanting towards the unfortunate Blues fans.

When Birmingham equalised they looked the better side but the momentum all changed when young Cahill scored his wonder goal in the second half.
