Away numbers

[ADVILLAFAN]

Who did the emails get sent out to ?

Just away scheme members ?

No I got one and I'm not in the away scheme.

I got one too. I'm a villa cash member.

I'm guessing the send out to those they know have bought away tickets?

We've sold 3600 for Reading away on the Tuesday night, 600 left.

December will test our support, will we sell out 3000 at Leeds, 2500 at Norwich and 2600 at QPR when they're all on TV?

Fulham (3800 official, up to 7000 with neutral) and Blackburn (7000) are our last two away games. Could be fun if there's something riding on them.

My Mom got one and she hasn't been to a Villa game since the 96 League Cup final. Caused that much excitement she's coming to the Reading game with us now, nice one Villa.

Leeds will sell out and whilst I think we've got more than enough to take for the allocation at QPR, it's a dump and many seats have a restricted view of the pitch. It is a Saturday away in London though so should still sell out. For me Norwich is the acid test, the long road to nowhere on a Tuesday night pre-Christmas.

Norwich is the game that the fans group chose to have as the subsidised game, but it's still £30 on a Tuesday two weeks before Christmas. Maybe the club would have been better offering subsidised or free travel? I remember us taking 4000 there just before Christmas a few years back but that was a cup game. A lot will depend on how we're doing at that time, if we're winning games and marching up the league then obviously more fans will be inclined to go.
