Why wouldn't they sell out to us? We've got McGinn...

Kick-off time mainly, others say it will definitely sell out because it's 'the Villa' coming to town*.

*They may actually just have said that it's their biggest game in years.

Speaking of which, what are the thoughts on likely ticket availability for the home game?

Their average attendance isn't far off capacity is it? Easter Road isn't exactly an enormodome.

What a pathetic allocation that is, Hibs had that many in Switzerland last night.
My guess is Villa took the minimum to avoid having to having to  extra staff up there to dish the tickets out on Weds.
Sod the fans as usual and any plans we had made to get there.

Don’t think that will be anything like the case….they will fill the ground with their fans so that will be the allocation we are given
I guess so I suppose, but I’m of a mindset lately where I have a very low opinion and lack of trust when it comes to anything our club does for fans. I have probably jumped to the wrong conclusion, we’ll see. But can you ever seeing us taking a larger allocation in Europe if it’s on offer when there’s no financial gain to the club to do so, just the inconvenience of handling it all?

I've seen Steve Gough (been running independent travel to Villa games, including Europe, since the Boer war) on social media citing the same logic as you, mate. He claims Villa turned down a larger allocation and the extra paperwork was put forward as a reason.

Just taken a look at a couple of their forums

1. They are not happy about the kick off time, unsurprisingly

2. The general thought is that it'll be a matter of their keeping the score down, although the Newcastle result has buoyed them a little

Somebody should point them towards our recent cup record againt supposedly lesser teams. I'll be happy at this stage if we scrape through on away goals.

This, all day long.  No way will this tie be a walkover.  We've lot against some right shit in the cups over the last 15 years, far worse teams than Hibs.

I'm with Risso on this too. Hibs will be manically motivated for this tie

It's not fair that Hibbs will have fans behind both goals.

Sockless dwarf.
