Aston Villa vs Derby County Post-Match Thread

41.7k I think.

41,745 today

Average was 32,097 which is the highest in the division. Leeds still have another home game but even a sellout won't top ours if the interweb info is correct.

Thanks SHQ/PWS, great attendance. 

Dr Tony, just imagine how good things would look capacity wise if we get back up.  Great fans, great club.

[PeterWithesShin]

Updated my post with average attendance for you as well.

Was a nightmare to get a drink at half time in the Upper Trinity.

You'd think with it being close for most of the last 18 months they could've put in an extra kiosk or two for food and drink.

Brucey reckoned in his pre-match presser that our average attendance would be better than half of the Premier League. Sounds like a bold claim.

[PeterWithesShin]

It would currently be 10th in the PL this season so he's right.

Absolutely murdered them. Played really well, only thing missing was hitting back of net. Delighted to equalise even though it was academic in scheme of things.

I didn't have the opportunity to follow the match today, although I did hear we'd gone a goal down. I was relieved to learn we'd managed to get a point in the end; and surprised to read how well we'd apparently played! It goes without saying that we need to keep performing to give them play offs a damned good go, so fingers crossed for a strong display daaaaan in bandit country next week.

UTV.

Less of the bandit country auntie if you don't mind.  (winks)  I have two little grandchildren living about as far from the Millwall ground as a Tonev shot at goal would land.  People are great, Bermondsey is great it's the football club and it's fans.

On another day it would have been 4 or 5. Played very well and Derby will probably be wondering how the hell they came away with a point.

Taylor was awful.
Glad they upped in the 2nd half, although we should have been ahead in the first.

We still have not learned the way to score when we're on top ...

It's all about the space on the concourse.

Wasn't much of that as the queues stretched back to the entrance to the stands.

I rarely bother getting anything at half time so won't be doing it again in a hurry.

Problem of course is when people fancy a beer at half time and can't take it to their seats they just mill around by the kiosks so that adds to the congestion.

The last sentence is a bit bizarre to be honest. We have done that quite a few times this season. Today was one of them.
