Title: Guess The Crowd 12: Villa v Sheffield U Saturday 23Dec
Post by: Louzie0 on December 16, 2017, 05:43:22 PM
Welcome to Guess The Crowd 12: Aston Villa v Sheffield United, at 5.30 pm on Saturday, 23rd December!


This looks like a very exciting game. Fifth plays sixth, neither won today, both expecting to be in the top 6 by the end of the season.

Trinity Upper could be open for this one. It probably is, going by last year's fixture and coverage in the local press saying it probably is. 

Edit: Wednesday afternoon: tickets.avfc.co.uk announced Trinity Upper is now OPEN

The capacity if it is open, going by a couple of years ago, will be 42,660.
However, according to the reports, last time it was open for Villa v Burton last Christmas, it was a 'sell out crowd' of 41, 337 who celebrated the win, so good luck with guessing for this one! :)

The Brucie Bonus is wild all week, as it's Christmas!
I'll post a poll to cover all possibilities and guessing's entirely your own choice, as always.

Please remember not to edit your post. Or to vote twice.  ;)  Thanks.

(Presumably the Burton fans weren't celebrating, exactly, but you know what I meant!)

A poke around on the ticketing site has revealed:

North Stand Lower, Trinity Lower and Middle, Doug Ellis Lower and Holte End all nearly sold out.

North Stand Upper about 70% sold

Doug Ellis Upper about 60% sold

Sheffield United have sold out

Trinity Upper still not open, would probably make sense to do this now.  By my calculations about 32000 sold in total.

Thanks Walmley - just saw it myself and have edited the intro post accordingly.

'Them's the breaks' to anybody who bet on it going the other way!
No edits or second guesses, please, as the intro said.
