Stourbridge FC beat a young Villa side 2-1 in the Birmingham Senior Cup last night I front of almost 2000 fans.

I don’t know if that’ll register with a lot of you on here, that’s TWO THOUSAND at a local regional cup game against Villa’s kids on a night when England are playing a World Cup qualifier!?

In the 70’s and 80’s this same scenario would’ve seen a crowd of under 200 at the Stour match.

It’s a crowd not much below what Walsall get.

This is how non league football has gained traction in the last 10 years or so.

Says a lot about what fans think about England as well.
