Aston Villa vs Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

Villa fans are loyal. Whilst Garde still has the fans they will turn up.

I reckon it will be close to a sell out tomorrow with the announcement today.

That's a fair point - a hardcore of around 20,000 and several others who'll stand firm - and as you say Remi Garde still has the supporters (and rightfully so).  I look at him sometimes and wonder if he's thinking "just what have I taken on here ?"

Announcement ?   Have I missed something here ?

Our support has held. Despite having the worst results out of any of the other league clubs we average only 1,000 less than Everton over the last 5 and half season and they've finished 8, 7 , 7, 6 , 5 , 11 whilst we've circled the plug hole and been embarrassing.

I can't remember exactly without checking, but in the "recent good old days" of continually finishing 6th (what we'd give for that now !!) - were we getting an average of a tad over 40,000 ?

Top 6 finishes saw average gates of:

40,029
39,812
38,573

Looking at the OS I think it will be between 33-35k on Saturday, par for the course even this season amongst the weekly horror show.

You can bank on it.

Many thanks Hoyle - I knew I was fairly close when I was thinking around 40,000 - what good supporters we've got - and that's without those who don't go very often.
