Aston Villa vs Leicester City pre-match thread

[eamonn]

Anyone know if the London Lions are watching this en masse somewhere?

Vardy would be fit for tomorrow if he’d broken both legs today. It’s how injuries work when playing us.

[Lastfootstamper]

Fingers crossed he'll be their second forced injury substitution within the opening ten minutes.

[Legion]

Or red card.

[Confusious says]

Just looked on the Villa ticket site out of interest  to see what tickets were still left & was surprised to see it looked like Liester have been given the North Stand. We have lost our fans behind the goal just hope there is good support & noise from us fans.

They have the upper tier only.

They have the upper tier only.

5 blocks in the lower as well I think Ads.(?)

[Lastfootstamper]

They do. And lots and lots of netting.

[PeterWithesShin]

Considering only 1 club caused problems by being above Villa fans in the North I do wonder why we've decided to change things this season.

[QuintonVilla]

They have the upper tier only.

Both tiers. Only 4200 tickets and the other 2800 seats netted off or empty, same as Wolves. Shame we've lost our lower North atmosphere and I always think it dilutes the away support a bit more when you split them across two separate upper tiers, whereas tomorrow they'll have their own end. I'm sure the whole ground will be up for it tomorrow though and not just the Holte.

[Legion]

Those that actually matter on the pitch aswell.

Well, that’s a bit daft isn’t it...

Ah right, saw the allocation and assumed it would be upper tier only. Seems an odd decision.

[AsTallAsLions]

Not sure if mentioned already but Gregarious Gregg has said Keinan will also be available tonight.

Two strikers to choose from? Surely not.
