Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD Round 7, the fourth of our Europa Cup 🏆 League fixtures this season!
ASTON VILLA v Maccabi Tel Aviv FC at 8 pm on Thursday, 6th November!! 🥧
Wiki on MTA:
Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club (Hebrew: מועדון כדורגל מכבי תל אביב; Moadon Kaduregel Maccabi Tel Aviv) is an Israeli professional football club from Tel Aviv and part of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Sport Club.
Founded in 1906 in Jaffa as the HaRishon Le Zion-Yafo Association, it is the oldest football club in Israel.
With the establishment of the city of Tel Aviv in 1909, the club changed its name to Maccabi Tel Aviv. In 1922, it became the first Jewish football club to participate in local competitions. The team took the Star of David as their logo to represent the Jewish people.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have won more titles than any other Israeli club, winning 26 League Championships, 24 State Cups, 8 Toto (League) Cups, and 2 Asian Champion Club Tournaments before Israel were expelled from the AFC in 1974. Their nickname is The Yellows.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is the only football team that has never been relegated from the Israeli Premier League and one of only three Israeli teams ever to progress to the UEFA Champions League group stage. The club is named after the Maccabees and invests in the development and nurturing of young talent: the club runs three football academies in the Tel Aviv area…
They’re not that special. 😃 It’s time for the Lions to roar again 🦁 on Thursday night!
It’s also time for Unai’s legendary vision, Europa Cup experience and expert preparation to inspire our lads to see off this lot. COYVB!!

There’s a new figure for the capacity of VP since last season.
The FA Handbook for 2025/26 says it is 43,205. The link to this is in the OP of the GTC Divisions, rules, points and bonuses thread. MTA has declined to sell tickets for this match.

Hi waynejames, good to see you guessing again!
I’ll be taking the first number you posted as your guess, as per the rules.
However many - or few - turn up tonight, the club is going to tell us a figure which is most likely to correlate with ticket sales, so you could be in for quite a few points if you’re accurate!

Huh?

There isn’t an attendance figure out there, yet, so as soon as there is, I’ll be awarding points! 👍😃🎉
If you see it before I do, please feel free to draw my attention to it, in here.
Sixth in the table! We’re sitting sixth in the table!

Flashscore is showing it as 29429.

Thanks, devilla, maidstonevillain and littleoldme; all on the ball! Here are the points!
Results from Round 7:
Attendance: 29429 BBC et.al.
Emery’s Extras 2 = 4 points!
4 Chip Butty 111, claret+blue ed 😎😎
1 Everyone else who played this round!
Congratulations, claret+blue ed and Chip Butty 111 - you’re the only teams who scored multiple points this round! Great guessing! 👍🎉🥂👏
It doesn’t happen very often, thank goodness, as it’s not great for GTC points, but the rest of us were all rather far off the final attendance total - certainly beyond the 1K in either direction.
We all get a point for playing, though, and now it’s onward and upward to the very fast GTC Round 8, up and running in Heroes Discussion right now! Get yer guesses in and better luck (hopefully) will smile on us all!
Anybody just thinking of guessing, why not join us and post that magic number! Follow this link and fill your boots!
