No mate , Newcastle under Mcleish 17.09.11 was 32,248
But yeah looking at the whole season attendances were pretty poor overall.

Newcastle under Mcleish was 34,248.
Not according to the villa programme I'm looking at

Must be a mis-print unless the official site and the BBC have got it wrong.
Must be at least 7 official avfc programmes that's got it wrong then

It looks that way.
Or your stats are wrong more likely.

Not my stats, the official site, BBC Sport and Sky Sports News.

Getting a bit sick of people coming up with reasons for "swerving" games for whatever reason,either you want to go or you don't.


Good for you. I went to Parma, Stoke, Newcastle, have my ticket for Orient but am protesting in the only way I can about shit kick off times by not going to Hull. I've already said if it was a 3pm KO i'd have gone. So to be honest I don't give a fuck whether me swerving a game makes you sick or not.
I occasionally have given up my season ticket over the last 30 years and now is one of those times. Ultimately we are meant to enjoy the games and last year I just didn't. That said, I can't stay away, going Wednesday and Sunday. I always feel I have to go when I have a season ticket but this year I will pick and choose. I can't stand the 5:30 Saturday kick offs, will be avoiding them.

The Newcastle attendance was the lowest attended first home game since 2000. Fans are voting with their feet.

Possibly, but how many of those others have been a 12.45 kick off on a Bank Holiday weekend with two more home games to follow in quick succession and live on the box?

That and we had no problem pulling a 42k crowd against liverpool on a bank holiday weekend last season. Yeah I know it's Liverpool but I can't believe an extra 12k just turned up because of the opposition.

I think crowds might take a dip this season but I just think one game given the circumstances above makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions.

I'd say the problem with this Chris is if say we've only sold 20k season tickets (and I'd say that figure would be realistic) then to get close to 40k we need a regular of 15k fans to be buying on a match to match basis. Little chance of that unless it's a game against one of the top 6 and the general state of the club.

I think the low 30k attendances are higher to stay this side of xmas.

I've been to about 5 games since 2010.  Just rather spend my money on my kids as I don't see as much of them these days. 

I'm probably getting old but getting up to go and see the Villa doesn't excite me as much as it used to.

Well we're certainly not as exciting to watch these days that's for sure.
As ever with the Villa though, when the results pick up the fans come back.

Whichever way you're looking at it 30 000 is poor.

I'm surprised that there is surprise about the low opening-game attendance. What with the uncertainty over ownership and three poor preceding seasons - along with three 'meh' free transfers during the close season - it is totally understandable to see mediocre turn-outs.
I gave my ST up for this season, with great difficulty and heartache; in end, it was the right decision for me at this particular time and given my growing dissatisfaction with the spectacle at VP.

I'd be  surprised if we average over 33,000 this season. Signings have been dull for a good few years now, home results atrocious and prices rise.

Under Mcleish we played Newcastle slightly later - sept 17, 32,248
Our opening game that year was Blackburn 32,319
Then CC2 Hereford 21,058
[/quotes I'd have said 18k for orient, but the keen pricing may drag a few waverers in
