Hello, London Villan,

I’d suggest that it is based on the ST holdings and the visitors numbers, although some STs may not have been used. Even now, the only crowd figure I have been able to find for Villa v Watford is the one that KNV discovered, so we’re all reliant upon random press reports until the Beeb gets its act together again. :-\

This absence adds a certain frisson to the competition, as the BBC posted the previous attendance totals for R1,2 and 3, albeit very late compared to the last time we played GTC🥧. I am indebted to the H&V teams who found them.

The attendance figure has now been added to the BBC online match report.

It's shown as 41,936...... I was just 2 away. ::)

As the Rules say it is the total as published by the BBC, even 10 days late  ::) I have reworked this, with the following outcomes:


9: Axl Rose, Rotterdam 82!  8) 8)

8: Lastfootstamper, nordenvillain, Towser, ironmaidenmania, JD, West Derby Villan! 😃

7: Louzie0, KNVillan! 😁

6: Skerra, sid1964, frank, manic-road, RudyCan’tFail, devilla, Villa Lew! 😀

5: ldavfc4eva, Godfrey Brian, beness!😁

4: Fasth56, ALITA!  ;D

3: Nunkin1965, PGW, AV82EC!  :D

2: Steve67, darren woolley, N’ZMAV, littleoldme, Rotterdam, London Villan!  ;)

1: Legion, TelfordVilla, algy, Reuben, Caribbeanvillan!  :)


Well played, Rotterdam 82 and Axl Rose! 🥂🎉🎉🌟🌟

If you gained a point (or two) from the correct updated attendance figure, you have been credited and the Divisions will show this, soon.

If you would have lost a point, that seemed unfair to me given the Divisions were posted already, so you have kept your point!  This affected 1 team.

If the change did not affect your total one way or the other, you are exactly where you were!


I hope this has addressed the issue as fairly and transparently as possible! It may explain what London Villan saw, although the difference was only 64 seats.

GTC🥧Round 6 will be launched next week; VILLA v Arsenal for 19th March!

UTV!

(I wonder why on earth it took 10 days to get an accurate attendance figure?)
