Welcome to GUESS THE CROWD Round 24; ASTON VILLA v Sunderland FC at 2 pm on Sunday, 19th April!! 🥧
The Villa start this match after building a run of WWDW against PL and EC opposition. So, it’s time for the Lions to roar again 🦁 on Sunday as we consolidate our position in the top 4 !
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 Black Cats 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.
HOWEVER, the corners of VP have just disappeared in early summer expansion building works. The impact of this development on the figure above is er, anybody’s guess! Good luck!

On about as close as you can get to the 50th Anniversary (it's actually the 51st but SAFC weren't in the same division as us last year) of my favorite game ever, here is my prediction:
GTC 41475
Cash, Buendia to score to emulate Ross and Little, 2-0
