Sheffield United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

Theres a few tickets on sale to our fans up there tomorrow for anyone still interested in going.

Sheffield Utd are expecting around 15,000 including our fans.

Few things could be depressing about modern football than a biggish club like Sheffield United can't expect to get more than 11,00 of their own supporters to watch the potential giant-killing of a top division side even with reduced prices.

The depressing thought is that these lauded cheap prices are on average still more expensive than our German cousins match tickets.

United are going through a really shit spell and they don't expect to beat anyone, least of all a Premier League side.

Tickets for their season ticket holders were £12 until 7pm, they will be £17 from now on.

So everyone in the ground expects to lose. Fun, fun, fun.

I think we should just have a party win lose of draw tomorrow, because in the great scheme of things tomorrow really doesn't matter as much as the other 17 games we face this season.

[Fuse]

Any idea how many tickets we have sold for this?

I had a bizarre thought the other day when I saw that Houlier was at the Huddersfield v Sheff Weds match last week and that was that I hope he realises we are playing SHeff Utd in the cup and hasn;t gone to scout the wrong club!

I know he is having a bad time of things but even he can;t be that clueless can he?

5000+. There were 400 tickets left last night this morning.

That is an excellent turn out from us, gutted I am not going now as I am sure ti will be good fun.

Expect us to win now.

We need to win tomorrow. Things can change quickly.

If we win with a decent performance we go into the SHA game with a renewed sense of optimism, in the next round of the Cup (and with a bit of luck a decent draw). Hopefully 3/4 more will come in and all of a sudden we're dreaming of Wembley and a top half finish again.

5,000,  that's a brilliant following taking into consideration the recent performances and position in the table,money,travel etc.

[Lizz]

Villa win 1-2. Not going for anything wildly optimistic like a clean sheet and us scoring loads more goals than them.

[swiss1968]

only £12 and £15 coach arrgghh just like the old day's !!

[PaulWinch again]

We badly need to win this game, but that goes without saying.

[Confusious says]

villa win 1 - 2  I seem to remember the last F A Cup game there,Warnock manager and a disalowed goal for us involving Jagielca playing us onside but goal not allowed.
Hope we can win tomorow,and start a good run

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Im really looking forward to tomorrow, and think it will be a great atmosphere in the Villa end.
Over 5,000 of us probably making up over 30% of the total attendance means it will be similar to the semi final 1st leg at Blackburn last season.

To those who say its not so important, well whatever the media or anybody tells us some of us still think the FA Cup is fantastic. Raise the roof, get behind the team, maybe maybe this could be our year.

I just love that picture, my old Dad RIP  used to tell me about that day,
