Out of interest, did anyone put their tickets up for sale for the Brentford game only for the ticket not to sell? The same happened to me with the Wolves game.
I've also noticed the club don't seem bothered about reporting attendances.
The Wolves and Brentford gates are like state secrets, while the club didn't report the Ajax gate (although it was reported on BBC).
Reported incorrectly on the BBC, 30,210 lol.

I did think that seemed a bit low, but with nothing else reported (admittedly I didn't look *that* hard).
It’s a shame football is going the way it is when you have to employ people like Chris Heck.

Guess The Crowd has gone with the figure quoted in The Times.
40,698. No idea where they got it from, but it’s more accurate than the official figure.

I didn’t bother, because the new rules mean that no games will completely sell out, with the possible exception of Liverpool. You’re better off selling your seat yourself.
I’ve mentioned in the past that our attendance is not shown on motd and think we’re the only club not to do so. May be wrong of course but, since the introduction of LG/TV, Villa seem to have gone very quiet at giving out any attendance figure.
And yes, I’ve put up my ticket for resale 3 times in the last couple of months and got zilch back from the Club. Some shit going on somewhere along the line.
I wrote to Villa before Xmas about why this season was different in that attendance figures were very late/ non existent and was politely stonewalled with the information that, ‘The FA doesn’t do it any more’.
When asked if they really had no idea how many people had been in VP for any given match unless the FA told them (and I was more polite than this suggests), I got no reply.
The FA have not published stadium capacity in their handbook for this season, for the first time in god knows how long.
So there’s been a change in the FA universe, but Villa should be able to say how many people are in VP at any given time, including well, football matches, or am I just being all health and safety, here?
The suspicion is that the LG and HT are having a detrimental effect on attendances and he/they don’t want to publicise this.

I put mine up for sale for Wolves and Brentford, neither sold . Generally mine has sold through the season. (work contract has kept me away this season mainly).

It’s possible, CL, and it’s the inconsistency that grates for me, but then, I’m looking at attendance figures regularly with a purpose for H&V!
What is the difference (for VP communication systems) between matches when the attendance figure is quoted within 24 hours and others when it takes a month or more to publish? It’s definitely nothing to do with PL matches v whatever ( Europa Conf/FAC/Carabao).
Remember when old Herbert played down the attendance figures week after week for HMRC purposes , allegedly your honour

I don’t think CH is clued into what fans like and would prefer but I’m sure he understands ‘customers’ - not so far from DD!
When is this latest crest going to be announced?
I thought it was meant to be Feb...
