Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD Round 23. ASTON VILLA host Bologna in the second leg of the Europa 🏆 Quarter Finals! KO is at 8 pm on Thursday, 16th April!! 🥧
The Villa start this match 3 - 1 ahead, following the first leg in Italy last week. So, it’s time for the Lions to roar again 🦁 on Thursday night, as we move a step closer to winning silverware!
It’s also time for Unai’s legendary vision, PL experience and expert preparation to inspire our lads to see off this lot. 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, including all our inspiring strikers.👍
With hon. mentions for all assists and world beating saves, and encouragement for anyone else who’s in a scoring mood, let’s just keep the results coming!
The Brucie Bonus is wild from now until KO. A spot-on guess at the attendance at VP that is posted in here before then gets a big Brucie Bonus point!
And…
Anybody can join Guess The Crowd by guessing the attendance at VILLA PARK for the match v the Rossoblu Greyhounds and posting your Guess in here, any time from now until KO!!!👍😃
Please remember:
Only your first guess counts, and
Please don’t edit your post. Thanks!
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.

So did I!
I don’t think there were any seats to lose either side of the North Stand, ( and everything to gain), but there are/ were seats either side of the Holte.
Cue gnashing of teeth, etc.
Happy Birthday PGW!
