Why does the club never push for the maximum allocation?

Leeds took 9,000 last year.

We should have been taking the same, especially considering the free coaches.

Have you got your ticket yet?

To be honest, selling 5200 tickets for an away game to a team we play year in, year out, is fantastic. Especially givne it is only the 4th round of the cup and at 4pm on a Sunday. If it had been 3pm on Satursday I think we may have sold the entire 9000.

Villa's FA Cup allocation at Arsenal now sold out

Quote
Villa's allocation for the FA Cup clash with Arsenal is now sold out.

Alex McLeish's men will be backed by 5,200 supporters on Sunday as they aim to reach the fifth round at the Emirates Stadium.

They will travel down on 60 coaches in free transport put on by the club to help try and roar Villa through in the capital encounter.

Nicola Keye, head of consumer sales, was thrilled with the fast take-up of tickets for the exciting evening clash.

She said: "It's great to see the Villa fans snap up their seats so quickly.

"It just shows their devotion to the club and also the magic of the FA Cup.

"Villa have a terrific tradition, having won it seven times, and we thought it would be great to give Alex and the lads the best chance possible to get through. There's no better sound than the fans cheering the boys on.

"The away support is always boisterous and the travelling contingent can be heard singing their hearts out week after week.

"With this amount of claret and blue fans there on the night, travelling down on the club coaches, I'm sure it will create quite some atmosphere."

The fourth round clash kicks-off at 4pm on Sunday.

Coaches will leave Villa Park at 11am and the drop-off and pick-up point in the capital will be at Finsbury Park, which is approximately 20 minutes walk away from the Emirates Stadium.

Sorry CD not what I meant although maybe you know!  I just meant to ask TRS-T if sundays were difficult to get away to watch a match because of family commitments.
Not sure what his latest post from the villa publicity is in aid of, though.

Oh right, 'sold out'.  And you are desperate to go., so I have some arsenal mates who could sort you out?

PM me if in

You might have to go in with the Arsenal fans if you don't hurry up.

Arsenal have a tool (no suprise there then), this one has some use though, its a seat finder tool ala Wembley. Hopefully this link will take you to it, sorry, dont know how to shorten it.
