Welcome to Guess The Crowd 1; Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic at 3 pm on Saturday 11th August!
There’s a sort of tradition that GTC kicks off the season with Round 1 in Heroes Discussion, so - it’s back!!! And here we go for 2018/19!
In an exciting development new GTC rounds will appear stickied in HD this season.
Thank you, Legion.

Check out how to play if you’ve forgotten ;) or if you’re new to this, in the new GTC 2018/19 Divisions Points and Bonuses thread, in Match Threads & Player Ratings. This is also where you will find all the rounds have been moved to, after the match concerned.
Wigan are worried already. Compound their misery through psychological suggestion and post your guess before Monday 7.45 pm to start the season with a Brucie Bonus of 11 Points for a spot-on Guess! Yes, GTC now goes up to 11!
Upper Trinity is not open ... so far.
Remember,
Only one guess per round, please and no editing if you want all your points 8)
The only exception to only one guess is...
If you make a mistake like posting 280,000 instead of 28,000, just post again with your real guess and flag it up to me. I will catch on and ignore the outrageous figure. Honest. :)
Let’s all have a great season, especially the Villa!

I'm thinking, August with hols, Wigan not especially attractive opposition with only middling away support. We may have a couple of new players.
So, it's 28,938 exactly.

Wow, prime exposure here. But who is in which league this season? Hope all those promotions and relegations were for realz.

By all means have a pop if the there are no women or children among the 4, but make sure they are not tooled up or you could get stabbed or similar.
Get a seat in P7 and scale the wall and it will be like 03/03/03 all over again. Attacking them outside the ground would be very poor form, especially when approaching from the rear.
Suggest Queensbury Rules if poss.

Absolutely for real, eamonn, unless the Matrix is playing up again and we have to repeat last season.
Find how we all ended up here:

I usually post new Divisions after the first couple or three games, to include the new players who have entered Division 4 as well as those returning.
We’re both in Division 2; good luck this season!

Poor opposition, low visiting support, the summer holidays.

27,953. Wigan wont bring many, holidays and Christmas shopping all making for a low attendance

Louise, if you want to start them all off in HD this season for greater exposure I will archive them in MT&PR for you after each game.
-
Superb idea!
That would be an excellent move for Guess The Crowd, especially for when the games start overlapping, because that’s when some people miss rounds without realising.
Thank you very much for this generous offer, Lee, I accept with thanks!

I'm interested in the new players and I think many of us will be and we won at Hull. So my earlier guess was pessimistic.
I can't change it, I know, but I think we'll be well over 30k.

Thanks for doing this again Lou, I had forgotten about the 1st game tradition and nearly pm’d you to ask where the thread was this season.

Can I do the Wigan support? 4
I quite like the idea of an Alt-GTC for the opposition turnout.
The major issue would be how we verified this as we know certain teams bring 20,000 + with them, all in the Holte.
If you’d like a regular guess, please post again, Des!

Are you sure, because guessing twice means only one point.
You could have accidentally posted the second, in which case I will ignore it, this round.
Let me know.
-
You can change!?
-
No, eamonn.

Miss! Miss! Toronto Villa is cheating, Miss!

Remember our golden rule, CD,
‘We are kind to those easily confused’, like those who haven’t played GTC before.
Or like GTC organisers. Because your day of confusion will come.
Here endeth. ::)
-
Balls I’ve invoked the wrath of Lou. Please keep my original choice. I’ve been chastised and corrected. Sorry miss.
-
Excellent choice, Toronto, claret and blue star. ;)
-
Just guesses, please, ‘til kick-off.
I’m beginning to feel like Joyce Grenfell.
4 teams in D3 still haven’t guessed.
-
Haha! This is why I love H&V - I can't imagine any other football forum in the world referencing Joyce Grenfell. Thanks Louzie, made me chortle.
-
34,331 I believe. Looks like relegation for me. Shelley out!
-
Confirmed, on BBC, thanks Dave.
I underestimated Wigan’s drawing power as well.
Louzie0 out!

Results of GTC1 Villa v Wigan:
9:. littleoldme! 8). Within 10 of the total, cracking start!
6: frank! ;D. Just over 100 away, well played.
5:. eddiemunster, Newby, AlexAlexCropley and Gregorys Boy! :D
Great guessing, especially from the two new teams.
2:. Toronto Villa, brian green, f1sav and West Derby Villan! ;)
It’s always worth having a guess, because you all got one more than...
All 69 of the rest of us - who got 1 point for entering this round and They All Count! We’ll see who’s where next May. Oh, yes. :)
79 teams entered this round.
Remember to Guess in the Yeovil Cup EXTRAS round, before Tuesday night.
Divisions will be posted following the results from that match.
GTC2 Villa v Brentford (22/8) will launch very soon so keep a lookout for that.
UTV!
