Welcome to Guess The Crowd Round 4: Aston Villa v Watford at 3 pm on Saturday, 19th February! 🥧
Hopefully, Stevo and the coaching team have addressed the reasons for the mysterious misfiring of the Villa engine v Toon and so, this is the opportunity for all the lads to get back to winning ways.
This time, Ollie’s Goal will count and there will be a few more from Coutinho, Buendia and Ramsey (and anybody else who fancies a shot) to contribute to Gerrard’s Golden Goals Bonus, so get your guesses in!
The Brucie Bonus is wild all week, so there’s everything to play for. 👍
Remember,
Only your first guess counts, and
Please don’t edit your post. Thanks!
Divisions will be updated again after this Round! Oooh!
UTV!

Fuck off everything!

Does anybody know the attendance?
I can’t find it!
And yes, BE, totally agreed with you at that point!

Sorry to hear this, maidstonevillain, I hope she’s OK and it’s a fairly benign version of the virus.

GTC🥧Round 5 will be VILLA v Southampton for 5th March, so 👀 in Heroes Discussion after the next match!

Appreciate in the grand scheme of things it's not important, but there is no way 42,000 is right... there was a block of empty seats in the Watford end, so it can't be our biggest attendance of the season. ;-)
-
Hello, London Villan,
I’d suggest that it is based on the ST holdings and the visitors numbers, although some STs may not have been used. Even now, the only crowd figure I have been able to find for Villa v Watford is the one that KNV discovered, so we’re all reliant upon random press reports until the Beeb gets its act together again. :-\
This absence adds a certain frisson to the competition, as the BBC posted the previous attendance totals for R1,2 and 3, albeit very late compared to the last time we played GTC🥧. I am indebted to the H&V teams who found them.
-
The attendance figure has now been added to the BBC online match report.
It's shown as 41,936...... I was just 2 away. ::)
-
As the Rules say it is the total as published by the BBC, even 10 days late ::) I have reworked this, with the following outcomes:
9: Axl Rose, Rotterdam 82! 8) 8)
8: Lastfootstamper, nordenvillain, Towser, ironmaidenmania, JD, West Derby Villan! 😃
7: Louzie0, KNVillan! 😁
6: Skerra, sid1964, frank, manic-road, RudyCan’tFail, devilla, Villa Lew! 😀
5: ldavfc4eva, Godfrey Brian, beness!😁
4: Fasth56, ALITA! ;D
3: Nunkin1965, PGW, AV82EC! :D
2: Steve67, darren woolley, N’ZMAV, littleoldme, Rotterdam, London Villan! ;)
1: Legion, TelfordVilla, algy, Reuben, Caribbeanvillan! :)
Well played, Rotterdam 82 and Axl Rose! 🥂🎉🎉🌟🌟
If you gained a point (or two) from the correct updated attendance figure, you have been credited and the Divisions will show this, soon.
If you would have lost a point, that seemed unfair to me given the Divisions were posted already, so you have kept your point! This affected 1 team.
If the change did not affect your total one way or the other, you are exactly where you were!
I hope this has addressed the issue as fairly and transparently as possible! It may explain what London Villan saw, although the difference was only 64 seats.
GTC🥧Round 6 will be launched next week; VILLA v Arsenal for 19th March!
UTV!

(I wonder why on earth it took 10 days to get an accurate attendance figure?)
