Welcome to the first Round of GUESS THE CROWD this season: ASTON VILLA v Newcastle United FC at 12.30pm on Saturday 16th August!! 🥧
The lads really pulled out the big one at VP last season and all our VILLA talents are once more unfailingly eager to impress, as we lay siege to finish in the top 5. It’s time for the Lions to roar again 🦁 this Saturday afternoon !!
It’s also time once again for Unai’s customary vision, expertise and thorough preparation to inspire our lads to see off this lot. Please. COYVB!!
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 active this week until 12.30 pm on Wednesday around lunchtime. An early spot-on guess at the attendance posted in here before then gets a big Brucie Bonus!👍
Remember,
Only your first guess counts, and
Please don’t edit your post. Thanks.
Anybody can join Guess The Crowd 🥧 by guessing the crowd at VILLA PARK on Saturday for the match v Toon and posting your Guess in here, before KO!!!👍😃
There’s a new figure for the capacity of VP since last summer; the current FA Handbook for 2025/26 has it as 43,205 which is up by about 280+ odd from last year. The link to this is in the OP of the GTC Divisions, rules, points and bonuses thread.

That’s really putting a marker down. 😎

I have posted the current running lists of the members of each Division so far, as I did during last season. Anyone can join in with Guess The Crowd, so there will be new and returning teams appearing! Hurrah!🙌
The first Points based 2025/26 Division round up will be after 3 home matches, to allow enough time to create a competitive order, as usual!
