Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD Round 11 and it’s a Europa Conference 🏆 Group match: ASTON VILLA v Legia Warsaw at 8 pm on Thursday, 30th November! 🥅
The wiki briefing:
Legia is the most successful Polish football club in history, winning record 15 Ekstraklasa champions titles, a record 20 Polish Cup and 5 Polish SuperCup trophies. The club's home venue is the Polish Army Stadium (Stadion Wojska Polskiego). Legia is the only Polish club never to have been relegated from the top flight of Polish football since World War II.
AVFC News this week included the information that Legia have been limited to 1000 tickets for this match, very possibly because of over exuberant behaviour in towns and grounds on away missions on the part of their really devoted fans.
These throwbacks to Neanderthal times / the 1970s are due to visit our fair city and VP on Thursday, when who knows, they might notice their style of support is years out of date and does nothing positive for Legia’s or Poland’s football reputation.
However, we might get the nice fans, in which case, welcome!
Villa need to win this one to top the Group and avoid an extra ‘playoff’ match, down the line.
Once again, we look forward to the Bonus known as...Emery’s Extras!... so let’s hope all our chaps have their scoring boots 🥾 on.
The Brucie Bonus is wild until KO, as this is a very quick Round.
Remember,
Only your first guess counts, and
Please don’t edit your post. Thanks.

Hi GTC teams in this Round,
I will post scores as soon as we have an attendance figure. I’m monitoring the BBC site as well as home attendances on the football web site, so hopefully there will be an outcome soon.
Will it include anybody rioting outside? Possibly, if the Club is going by tickets sold. Technically, the over-excitable visitors/thugs attended, even if they didn’t actually get in, thank goodness.
No idea really, let’s see what they decide to release as the final attendance figure and we’ll go with that,
Cheers and UTV,
Louzie0

Morning Louzie. You might need to be a bit cautious re the BBC figure, particularly if it contains a few noughts. I saw an attendance figure on another site for the last European home game that was different to the rather neat 40000 figure given by the BBC. I suspect they might estimate an attendance if they can't get one from official sources.
It didn't mention it previously because you had already done all the scores and divisions, and the BBC is probably as good a default option as any.
Thanks for your hard work.

37866 here Louzie0 https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/aston-villa/attendances

Thanks maidstonevillain, Towser!
Luckily, the BBC agrees with the footballweb site figure of 37,866, this time!
That’s the one we’ll use and Emery’s Extras are 2=4 points.
Points coming up.

Well played, Godfrey Brian and maidstonevillain, you were the only scorers in this Round. There would have been a few more, had the away crowd been able to access their part of VP.
We all know about Legia’s shenanigans re initially not collecting, then refusing to distributing their own tickets. Between the officials of the club, the thugs/ultras and those entitled twerps who travelled without tickets and insisted they were all let in or no-one was, on the night, Legia has managed to kibosh itself as a club in this competition and screw up some of us in this competition, in the process.
Still, it ‘s Round 12 next with some halfway normal fans, so hopefully normal service will be resumed, as they say!
👀 in Heroes Discussion later tonight ( Sunday) for the next Round of Guess The Crowd, VILLA v Manchester City, next Weds!
UTV!
