Do you want to bet against us?

[pestria]

Not confirmation, but from memory there being 19,000 tickets for sale - standing. 

There were some seats as well if IIRC.

19k amazing support!

[bones.]

19k that we sold, there were Villa in every stand though, so plenty more on top of that.

[Rico]

Shit support m'lord

[darren woolley]

I just wish i could have been there at the time to witness it.

[ez]

Would've been two all if the referee hadn't turned down the most blatant penalty appeal of all time.

Beat me to it.

[olaftab]

Brilliant.
I can see myself on the South Bank in the crowd jumping up and down, where did all my hair go?

I saw you pulling it out till Mboro scored the second against  Ispwich!

[olaftab]

Just watching that the other thing that strikes me  is Ron, Sir Bobby Robson, Cloughie and BFR coaches to reckon with the best overseas around here now however where are home  grown?

[E I Adio]

I can remember you with a great comb-over the last time you played for us, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're as bald as a coot now.

The score was 1 - 2.

Correct, midweek game, didn't Gates & Brazil score ? think we were 2 down then got 1 back
It was a nice sunny spring evening remember that much

[The Villan On The Wirral]

Awesome support on that last day. I've heard estimates of anything between 14000 and 27000 villa fans at Highbury on that day. Also supposed to be record figures for away support at an English domestic game. Can anyone confirm?

if you listen to some of my mates up here,Everton take that many to every away game

Do they still claim they brought 100,000 to VP in the mid 80s?

Seconded - the general concensus in the nationals that weekend was that we took 20,000 to Arsenal and that it was the largest official travelling support in the league in memory.

There were Villa fans scattered in the North Bank and east stand in addition to the 1000 or so official allocation in the west stand but only in small pockets, certainly not in large numbers (IIRC of course).

No, it was closer to 250,000

QPR brought that many here when they got promoted in the mid-sixties.
