What's an Admiral's Pie? Should i invest?

It's the lucky pie. Reasponsible for 3 Villa wins so far this season. Then again who has ever had an unlucky pie? Well apart from Darren Bent. Allegedly.

If it's the same pie each time your luck will eventually run out, food poisoning isn't pleasant.

The Upper Trinity was very sparse last night but it did allow people to move around to get a better view - one chap and his girlfriend must have tried half a dozen seats before settling by us. Another old boy struggled with a walking stick right up the back despite me advising his sone he could sit by us a couple of rows from the stairs.

The couple of loons who ran from the back of the  stand when we scored were very entertaining!

The "empty seats" came from the 7 Reading fans - irony I think as they would probably love 28k every week?

There was a pathetic turnout in Walkabout on Victoria Embankment last night.

5 of us, jumping up and down, swearing at a giant screen in front of half a dozen bemused aussies, most of whom were watching Lazio v Udinese on the other screen.

It was even worse where I watched it. Just me and my lucky Admiral's Pie, which is 3 wins out of 3 this season for the pie.
9 Villains in the Inn Place in Lanza last night and 5 in the bar next door. Good turnout.

As so many people these days seem sure the world is ending on December 21st then a lot of our fans must have realised that there's no point worrying about a relegation struggle.

Having paid £55 for a Chelsea ticket I shall be more than a tad pissed off if it does.

Inn place gets my vote every time. Great footy bar!

This was always going to be a low crowd even if we'd been a bit higher in the league.

How low was QPR midweek from last season. I think that could've been lower than last night but pretty sure we dropped that game to 25 quid admission in all parts of the ground.

Is this the appropriate time to demand Randy builds us a 50k stadium?

A similar thought ran through my head while I was sitting on my own in the holte, 40 minutes before kick off freezing my tits off.

I thought there were more there last night than at the QPR game last season, but I remember it being announced at the latter that there were over 32,000 there which was ridiculous. 

Almost as ridiculous as Villa fans singing "empty seats" at the Reading fans last night.

Now is most certainly the time to increase capacity. Less disruption. We'll have to turn people away if we do it in a few years when we're selling out every week.

The attendance was announced. I was sat in Witton upper and I heard it loud and clear.
