Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD Round 24: The Quarter Final of the Europa Conference 🏆! Hurrah!
ASTON VILLA host Lille OSC in the first leg at 8pm on Thursday, 11th April in this exciting fixture!! 🥧
Wiki on Lille
LOSC Lille or simply Lille, is a French professional football club based in Lille, Hauts-de-France that competes in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. Lille has played its home matches since 2012 at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. The 50,186-capacity retractable roof venue is the fourth-largest football stadium in France.
Lille was founded as a result of a merger between Olympique Lillois and SC Fives in 1944. Both clubs were founding members of the French Division 1 and Olympique Lillois was the league's inaugural champions. The club's most successful period was the decade from 1946 to 1956, in the post-war period, when the team led by managers George Berry and André Cheuva won seven major trophies, including a League/Cup double in 1946, and was known as La Machine de Guerre (French for "The War Machine"). Having won another double in 2011, its fourth league title in 2021 as well as its first French super cup, Lille is the fourth best French club in the 21st century.
Time for Unai’s vision, experience, expertise and legendary commitment to thorough preparation. He needs to inspire our lads to take on the War Machine and play like demons!
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 on Thursday evening. COYVB!!!👍

Emery’s Extras: 2 = 4

1 Everybody else who played this Round! 😃
OK, not that I’m one to cast nasturtiums, but this result looks both brilliant and well dodgy for maidstonevillain! 🎺🥁🎉🍷 Very well played!
Unfortunately, Emery’s Extras went unclaimed because nobody scored 2 points to double up.
👀 in Heroes Discussion right now because GTC Round 27, VILLA v Olympiacos Piraeus FC is up and running, ready for the Europa Conference 🏆 semifinal first leg, at VP this Thursday, May 2nd!

Where is that published, please Axl?
There’s still nothing appearing in the Aston Villa attendances website that I use when there’s no BBC figure.
There was a dodgy low total (32K+) published earlier in the season, which I ignored in favour of a more sensible one, because it looked like a genuine mistake and it had been a full house ( around 42K+).
37K+ is a bit trickier to explain as a typo, as Lille may not have been given as many away seats as PL opponents and that could account for some shortfall.
Open to suggestions!
