Attendance given out looked just about right, the Trinity Road was half Empty as was the sides and back half of the North Stand and the left hand side (if looking  from the Holte) of the Witton Road.

Am quite surprised at how low the attendance.

Yes, it caught out everybody except Hoyle 87.

GTC 2 went the other way, with lots of players underestimating the crowd against Huddersfield.

50 out, that's the closest effort I've had  :)

I had a feeling playing it early on a Sunday and live on Sky would knock 2 or 3 thousand off what I expect to be our average this season.

Very surprised at that attendance, suggest the ticket office computer has messed up, there was at least 34/35k there yesterday.

This suggests around 25k on Wednesday for the mighty Brentford.

Do we have an official steer on what the upper trinity closure means to the overall capacity this season?

Take off ooh, about 5,500 from last season's capacity figure and you are left with 37,140-ish. That's what we're using as a guide for full house, without the Upper Trinity.


I have no reason to believe the accuracy of the number I'm taking away, except a fellow H&V- er thought it sounded about right and a couple of others agreed with him!

The ticket office are staying silent on this one, so we're all in the same boat, Bottom Right.

If we get anywhere near the new capacity, we might have a better idea of how accurate it is. I'd guess spot on... ;)

Well played, Hoyle 87!
No doubt you've already guessed in the Guess The Crowd 4 Villa v Brentford thread!  :)
