LOL. Hardy any Tottenham fans turned up...

[Louzie0]

I did wonder!
Last home match of the season, going for CL, on a roll…
It fits if Spurs didn’t bring as many fans as they could have done.

Very well played, Nunkin1965 (4 away) and thick_mike (5 away), you both guessed so close to the official attendance figure! 🥂👍👍🕺🕺💐💐

Nobody scored fewer than 4, which meant that Emery’s Extras bonus points weren’t needed in this, the final round of GUESS THE CROWD, this season.

And The Villa won! A fantastic season at home, well done Unai and the lads.


Keep your 👀 on ‘GTC Divisions etc’ in Match Threads & Player Ratings for the final Divisions update of 24/25, coming up very soon. Thanks for playing!

UTV!

Now I wasn't at the game and forgot to put my guess in BUT that attendance figure does not appear to reflect how many were there. 2  different people told me that the Spurs section was half full and the Lower Trinity had a significant number of empty seats when I watched the game. I saw a site on Saturday morning showing the attendance as 37,000 + a few - Am I imagining that or was VP nearly full ?

[Louzie0]

No idea, nordenvillain, I go with the figure the BBC has, which presumably comes from the Club.

I thought the Spurs away supporters might not take up their full allocation (Friday night 120 miles away, Euro Cup final beckoning this week, depressing PL away record, etc). I reckoned on a couple of thousand down, rather than twice that!  There’s no breakdown for each part of the ground, so that’s a guess on my part. Perhaps there were gaps elsewhere. UTV!

Edited. I’m getting very confused, it comes with 2 competitions both starting, ‘Guess The’.
It was only a matter of time. Reset during the summer!

[edgysatsuma89]

It was probably just a lot of people who had bought tickets but didn't go due to the relatively late change of date.

[Louzie0]

Ah yes, that makes sense thanks, edgysatsuma89.

[nordenvillain]

Ah yes, that makes sense thanks, edgysatsuma89.

No problem Louzie0, I mentioned it only because even with my limited eyesight after significant eye surgery 3 weeks ago (Reason that I couldn't attend), there appeared to be large numbers of seats not occupied. Thanks for all your good work again this season with GTC and GTG, look forward to next season !
