Title: Guess The Crowd 11: Villa v Burton, Boxing Day
Post by: Louzie0 on December 16, 2016, 01:08:00 AM: Welcome to Guess The Crowd 11, Aston Villa v Burton Albion at 3 pm on Monday 26th December, aka Boxing Day!

The Upper Trinity is open, let joy be unconfined and a very Merry Christmas to one and all, including Gabby.

A bit of a hiccup at Norwich will have faded in the wake of our stonking 6-0 victory at QPR, leaving the Villa poised to break into the top 6. Or so I dreamt last night. Why not, eh; someone's got to fill up those places, so why not us? :)

Here's hoping for a bumper bit of Christmas cheer and yes, for a Brucie Bonus, which you can get by posting a spot-on guess before 3 pm this Monday, 19th December! Who-hoo!

GTC wishes that everybody gets what they would most enjoy in their Christmas stocking.

Also, the first day of Hanukkah is 25th December this year, so enjoy the Festival of Lights as well :)

UTV!
Louzie0

PS: Last time VP was at capacity it held 42,660. Apparently.

Watch out for GTC OVERLAP in 3 days' time, when GTC 12 Villa v Leeds is launched! Ooooooh! Only one guess per game! But you knew that...UTV!

It could be bigly, by Boxing Day.

Watch for GTC12 Villa v Leeds to appear in the next 48 hours and guess again!

Fab 3 points for the team we all love, today,

Last season it was 42,660. Apparently.
Please make your actual guess in another post not3bad, as we don't edit posts in this game.

ta Louzie. I must say I was puzzled by QV's response.
I note that 41K plus guesses are more apparent as ticket sales continue.

That's the dilemma of GTC; to take a wild punt early and often before the result of the previous match, or to wait for info on late ticket sales, but lose out on a possible Brucie.

Personally, Olaftab, I'm just glad when I remember to guess!

Thanks PWS - interesting total! ( I.e. for a 'sellout' as announced by the club on the ticket line today. That's why this game always uses numbers!)

I'll work out the points for everybody and divisions will be updated after Leeds.

Only one guess, four fornicholl! :)
Title: Re: Guess The Crowd 11: Villa v Burton, Boxing Day
Post by: PeterWithesShin on December 26, 2016, 10:54:14 PM: I assume the shortfall is the away end which wasn't a sellout plus the corporate/director area and boxes.
