Welcome again to GUESS THE CROWD for 2023/24!
Hello again, all, it’s that time of the year again.
Your teams are back from their summer tours of the USA and party time with friends/family.
You may need to break out the beeps and cones to knock them back into shape and remind them of where they play and er, what they do.
While your squad is getting fit, why not review the rules for playing Guess The Crowd?
If you're new to this:
The idea is to guess what you think the official attendance figure will be, for the match named in the Round.
I will post the total attendance that AVFC releases to the BBC at the end of the Guess thread and award points according to how close you are to the total. (If you see the BBC total before I do, feel free to post it!)
Guess The Crowd 🥧 is played for every home PL game and all home Cup games.
The usual rules apply!
These are:
1. One guess only in a round, per team.
Accidentally posting a second guess will not get you more points as only your first guess is counted.
2. No editing of your post.
Editing means you get only 1 point that round.
3. You must post your guess before Kick Off.
POINTS!!!
What could you get?
11 Points for a Brucie Bonus - This is awarded for a spot- on dead accurate guess, usually early on in the week - check the BB interval in my launch post of the round to win this. ;)
10 For a spot- on accurate guess posted after the BB interval.
9 For a guess up to 10 away from the official attendance total.
And then...
8. For a guess up to 50 away
7. For a guess up to 100 away
6. For a guess up to 200 away
5. For a guess up to 300 away
4. For a guess up to 400 away
3. For a guess up to 500 away
2. For a guess up to 1000 away
1. For entering that round! :)
And!!!
This season we are continuing the Emery’s Extras Bonus.👍😃
Whatever the Villa goal tally is, the teams getting that number of points in that round get DOUBLE POINTS!
Other info if you haven’t played before!
Villa Park’s capacity is currently 42,657 according to the FA Handbook 2023 and current figures available.
See the breakdown of all 4 stands in the Birmingham Post article about recent and current VP redevelopment plans, posted 11 December 2023, which adds up to that figure!
https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=61921.msg4489881;topicseen#msg4489881
This could change, look in here for any updates!
GTC rounds are posted before a home league match and a home Cup match.
Check the launch post for the time of kick off.
If a team has not posted a guess in 6 consecutive Premier League GTC rounds the team will be moved with their points so far, straight to The Treatment Room. Guessing again will revive the team to Division 3/4.
Once there's a space in any Division, the top ranking team in the Division below is promoted immediately to fill it.
You can join in on any round in the season. Keep your team active and you’ll get promoted as soon as possible.
It’s never too late to Guess The Crowd!
And so...
...it's time to launch the first Guess thread of this season!
Look for, 'GTC 1 VILLA v Everton on Sunday 20th August’ which is up and running in Heroes Discussion right now!
The very best of luck to us all. It’s our year for a Cup, we have the manager and team focused on winning one, and we’re hosting European teams again at VP! Here’s to a fabulous finish well at the top of the Premier League for our own wonderful and infinitely brilliant team, Aston Villa!

Hi Towser, great to see you!
I have moved this as first guess into the Guess Thread, once I got it up and running in Heroes Discussion.
Thanks, and congratulations on being the first guesser this season,

We’re off! Our first GTC League Leader is Godfrey Brian 😎, well played!🎉
Not bad for a promoted team! Welcome also to thick_mike, in the top ten! 👍
London Villan is doing that Spinal Tap thing of wandering around the corridors, looking for the tunnel.
The totals are cumulative, so a missed round means the previous score is repeated.
There are lots of tied scores at the moment, which is affecting the order. As usual I go alphabetically in such situations.
Division 2 is on the way!

Top guessing!
(Not that I’m envious)
9fingers, Astnor and Derby Villian were all promoted! Clearly, the shock has not affected Derby Villian, who has got off to a good start.
Drummond and not3bad are looking for their shooting boots and waiting for their kit to come back from the laundry.
Beness and littleoldme are visiting from D1 for a time ( avoiding the R word) as indeed, many of us have done more than once over the seasons that this competition has been running!
N’ZMAV and Chap were inactive for 7 consecutive rounds up to the end of last season, so they are visiting D3 for a while; they’re bound to bounce back!
Stand by for Division 3!

Great guessing!
Not everyone has got off the mark, yet, which means that they were active last season but that their pre season trip and air traffic control issues have kept them on the beach stranded them somewhere abroad. Let’s hope they are able to get going again after the international break!
If you want to join in or revive your team from whenever, just guess in the next Round (4) of GTC🥧, which will be in Heroes Discussion next week for (EDIT) VILLA v Everton, Carabao Cup, Wednesday 27th September!!!!
If I have missed anybody or my adding up is dodgy ( no surprises there), please let me know asap, in here.
Thanks, and here’s to a fab season,

There isn’t an attendance figure for the VILLA v Everton Carabao Cup match - GTC R4 - published anywhere, yet.
When one appears, I’ll use it. When this has happened before, a figure has emerged after a few days.
My plan B this week is to update Rounds 3 and 5 after Brighton on Saturday and to add Round 4’s points as and when it’s possible.
Hope everyone is guessing in Round 5, up and running now in Heroes Discussion!!

Godfrey Brian and Rotterdam82 are very close, so this is getting tight at the top.
There are only 7 points between 21st and 4th, so teams need to keep guessing to maintain position or move - hopefully upwards!

Well played so far to VillaTim and N’ZMAV; welcome to our newest recruits, Aldridge Villa and DesBremner!
ALL TEAMS PLEASE NOTE:
As per the rules of GUESS THE CROWD, in-season Promotions may happen after we have played 6 Premier League GTCs, if any teams in Divisions above 3 have not guessed by then. Any inactive teams in all Divisions will move to the Treatment Room with their points, until they are revived and start again in D3.
It’s worth guessing to keep up your points, as you could be promoted more than once in a season! :)
GTC🥧Round 7 VILLA v West Ham will launch in Heroes Discussion at the end of this week, for the match on Sunday 22nd October. Be there or be square,

Update
The Divisions will be updated in here during the next week, for West Ham, Luton, AZ Alkmaar and Fulham.
We’ve had a Brucie Bonus!
The next GUESS THE CROWD 🥧 will be Round 11, ASTON VILLA v Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference 🏆 Group on Thursday 26th November, launching next weekend after the match v Spurs.
Polite reminder
The first review after 6 regular PL rounds (see rules on P1) is after Round 10 when teams who have been inactive since the start of the season will be moved to the treatment room and so opportunities for instant promotion will appear. There could be further, similar opportunities if there are other inactive teams in Divisions 1 or 2 later this season.
2 Helpful hints:
Keep your team active and you won’t lose your place in D1/D2/D3.
If you have guessed in a cup match this season you are safe for a while.
UTV! Especially AVWomen today👍😃👏🥳🥂

We have lost London Villan, who has let me know that they are taking a break from GTC for a while, so they have been moved to the Treatment Room and encouraged to take up golf & other well deserved R&R activities.
This means that manic-road has been promoted from Division 2! 🌟😃

Hi all,
I have written to BBC Sport to note the current non-appearance of attendance figures after both of our most recent home (MC and AFC) matches. I commented that this season is different in that a number of figures have been published several days after our home matches. As I have said, this contrasts with previous seasons, which suggests that practice has changed; also, that it can be corrected.
I have explained about Guess The Crowd and our points riding on the outcome, and have asked politely if the issue can be addressed and the prompt service, revived!
The Divisions will be updated before the next home match, as far as I am able 👍

I don’t have an attendance figure for Arsenal, yet, but hopefully one will be available when the Divisions are updated again sometime after Friday’s match.

edgysatsuma89 and DerbyVillian have kept up the pressure since their promotion and there are other teams very close behind.
Drummond, 9fingers and Astnor have moved to the Treatment Room where it is hoped their long term inactivity will be addressed and we look forward to seeing them, revived in a Guess thread, very soon!

The next Update has been held up because of the lack of any or reliable published attendance figures for Arsenal, Sheffield Utd and Burnley.
Here is an update from today’s contact with the Club, posted at the end of the Burnley guess thread.

There has been no change in Division 3 rankings or the Treatment Room since the last update, so this is it!

You will have noticed that the table stops at Round 19.
The updates for matches v Spurs, Ajax and Saturday’s extravaganza may bring further surprises 😃
I will keep updating this week.
Stand by for Division 2.
Welcome to new players IFWaters and LeeS and it’s good to see N’ZMAV again, which we will as soon as I post those results 👍

Bit of a pain; I was hoping the Villa/ Wolves attendance would be out by now.
It’s better to update after 3 or 4 matches, as the divisions show more movement! Especially after the Ajax results produced so many 1s.
I’ll keep an eye open for the announcement in all the usual places. If you see anything, please let me know, I do appreciate it.

Axl Rose 💯 is close behind, and the rest of the Division are closing, too. What a great build up to the end of the season!
littleoldme has been promoted! 🌟😃
manic-road has gone to spend time in the Treatment Room, having been promoted earlier this season and subsequently going inactive. We hope to see you again soon, manic.
(Apologies to the team - Rotterdam - that I accidentally promoted 10 minutes ago. Your time will come!)

Notice re the crowd for Brentford, from that thread:
https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=64807.msg4589689#msg4589689
The club released a figure 2 weeks after the match, which was the one I used. (42118)
Percy found another figure in the Chelsea programme, a week after that! (42218)
I am staying with the first one published, as above.
Please see the post linked above for more information.

Damn. The programme attendance would have got me an Emery's Extra. But we still don't know which attendance is actually correct, if either. It could be a misprint in the programme.
-
I feel your pain, maidstonevillain!
I note that the home attendances website for Villa (https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/aston-villa/attendances ) still doesn’t have a total for any of the Hibs, Lille or Liverpool matches, although it’s generally been faster to publish a number than the BBC, often by weeks, during this season.
I think the answer for GTC🥧 on here is that the earliest realistic number should be the one that is used for points to be awarded and therefore, for the Divisions to stay mainly up to date. It might not be the same one appearing in the programme 2 - 3 weeks following.
That said, GTC Christmas / New year updates this season were a bit of a nightmare, as there wasn’t an Arsenal number anywhere for about a month!
PS the last Divisions this season are on the way 👍

Well played and thanks to everyone who guessed the crowd during this season. Sorry to lose all those of you who ended up in the Treatment Room after extended periods of inactivity, I tried to keep you as long as the rules allowed!
HOWEVER, just like Buendia, Mings, Ramsey, Hause, Kamara, etc, there’s always next season to return and shoot up the rankings, as dear Jack Woodward used to say.
Congratulations to all the winners and especially our champions.
Champions League next season for the Mighty VILLA!!!!
What a fantastic end to Villa’s season and ours.
See you next season, enjoy your summer break and watch that transfer market!
Signing off GTC23/34,

Thanks for organising this again for the season Lou. I very much appreciate your efforts to put this together.

Almost as much fun as seeing Villa clinch top 4.
I thought I'd blown it when I forgot to guess vs olympiàcos.
Thanks for organising Lou.
Roll on next season.
-
Good work Louzie, thanks for all your efforts. Enjoyable game as always.
Will be back next year I hope.
-
Thank you as always, Lou.
You're a lovely legend!
Can't believe I was second again 😂 As with last year and losing out to JD, I've again lost to the better man in Rotterdam!
Still, a fellow 49er takes the title. I'm ok with that!
-
Thanks for all your hard work on GTC this season Lou, you're a legend!
-
Thanks Lou. Happy with mid-table consolidation for my first season playing with the big boys.
-
Thanks for all you hard work Louise. Looking forward to my European adventure next season in the Conference League.
Hopefully follow the Villa next season and qualify for the Champions League next season.
-
5th in league 2, happy with that.
Thanks for running with this still Lou and for your hard work!

I'll add my thanks to those who already have Lou.
Your hard work is appreciated.

Thanks for all your organisation and hard work on GTC Lou. It is a very enjoyable competition and has become part of my build up to every game.
-
Thank you for everything Lou you are a real star thank you again it's much appreciated what you do for us.
-
Thanks for organising Lou.

Thanks for organising this Lou. I know it was difficult due to lack of attendance data. Europa Conference League for me. Fab.
-
A big thank you for all you're hard work, it really is appreciated Lou, take care, you're the best.
-
Thank you, Louise.
-
Thanks for all the organising, Lou!
-
It’s been an absolute pleasure to organise Guess The Crowd and thanks for the lovely comments, I’m quite overcome! :)
I’m looking forward to next season and hopefully we can find an accurate and reasonably prompt source of information for the attendance. It’s rather crucial for this competition.
Have a great summer, everybody!

Thanks for organising Lou, not a good season for me on GTC but not bad on GTG. Have a great summer break and look forward to a new season.

Dropped a place since last season, but happy to be established in the Champions League positions.
Thanks for your hard work Louzie.

Cheers, maidstonevillain and AV82EC - I just saw your comments 👍
Round 1 of this season is up and running right now, as we say, so I hope to see you both fighting it out again!
News - the capacity has increased by 270 odd, and everything is crossed for some prompt attendance figures this season 🤞😎
