The Albion and the Wolves get bigger gates than the Blues. They both have a fair bit of history too.

by the time that game comes round it will be a sell out,dont worry we will do our part and there wont be any empty seats like i seen at villa the other week

You're not that big a draw to us.

We are to you, so what?

Coventry used to treat their games against us as a cup final too, I wasn't particularly bothered when we didn't sell out against them either.

As the 4th best supported team in the region I can't believe a nose is arguing crowds....Believe you me you are welcome to the City's name and the dishonour you've done it since renaming your club.

Even if you beat us next week always remember you have never had any class and it's impossible to polish a turd.

The derby at Villa Park wasn't a sell out because of the booking history requirement. With a general sale, it would have sold out easily.

What happened to the 50,000 you took to Wembley? Surely they'll all come out for little old Villa?

Mmmm, @ 39,000 Villa fans present. Next week is your 'biggest game' for years apparently and yet you can't sell 25,000 tickets? Truth hurts I guess...

Even your own fans predicted mile long queues to get tickets. I'm sure it sell out even with our help in shifting your home tickets....
Your playing a severely weakened local rival Villa with the chance to get to a Cup Semi Final with STH prices at £25 a go....a bargain surely and on general sale...

I saw an interesting stat the other day regarding the Villa v Chelsea game and the Blues v Chelsea game.

Villa park was just under 98% full.
St Andrews was just under 80% full.

If I remember right, our game was on the TV?

Don't let the facts get in the way. With 4,000 away fans contributing to the 80% too?

You might well sell 25,000 tickets but for a side based in the second biggest city in the country it's still not very good is it? You're a small club with a small fan base and you know it.
