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 ?"

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.

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.
