Newcastle under Mcleish was 34,248.Not according to the villa programme I'm looking at Must be a mis-print unless the official site and the BBC have got it wrong.Must be at least 7 official avfc programmes that's got it wrong then It looks that way.Or your stats are wrong more likely.

I went to Parma, Stoke, Newcastle, have my ticket for Orient but am protesting in the only way I can about shit kick off times by not going to Hull. I've already said if it was a 3pm KO i'd have gone. So to be honest I don't give a fuck whether me swerving a game makes you sick or not.

Quote from: saunders_heroes on August 25, 2014, 11:22:49 AMThe Newcastle attendance was the lowest attended first home game since 2000. Fans are voting with their feet. Possibly, but how many of those others have been a 12.45 kick off on a Bank Holiday weekend with two more home games to follow in quick succession and live on the box? That and we had no problem pulling a 42k crowd against liverpool on a bank holiday weekend last season. Yeah I know it's Liverpool but I can't believe an extra 12k just turned up because of the opposition.I think crowds might take a dip this season but I just think one game given the circumstances above makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions.

I've been to about 5 games since 2010. Just rather spend my money on my kids as I don't see as much of them these days. I'm probably getting old but getting up to go and see the Villa doesn't excite me as much as it used to.
Whichever way you're looking at it 30 000 is poor.

Little chance of that unless it's a game against one of the top 6 and the general state of the club.I think the low 30k attendances are higher to stay this side of xmas.
Under Mcleish we played Newcastle slightly later - sept 17, 32,248Our opening game that year was Blackburn 32,319Then CC2 Hereford 21,058 [/quotes I'd have said 18k for orient, but the keen pricing may drag a few waverers in
