Mr Popodopolous Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Looking at the tickets sold on the website- unsure how the Upper Lansdown blocks are sold or are all on sale as per other parts of the ground for this game? Think in terms of ST and tickets sold, we should be looking at a gate of 25k, let's hope it inspires the lads. Quick breakdown: Dolman- 68 seats unsold. South Stand- Seemingly listed/indicated to be Sold Out. Lansdown Lower- 51 seats unsold. Lansdown Upper- Family Sections- 371 seats unsold. Lansdown Upper, non designated Family Section- 598 seats unsold. Away End- according to @AVFCSupport it is 3,440 tickets allocated and 3,440 tickets sold!

bcfc01 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Club said yesterday that just under 23k already sold. So could well be 24k - 25k.. Excellent for a Friday night and on BCTV as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whos playing at home again ? Perhaps city should get the atyeo stand and let villa have the rest ? Can I get a half and half scarf for such a momentous game ?

On a serious note, if Villa fans are to end up in home ends I hope they sit on their hands and draw little attention to themselves. To sit in home ends as an away fan, especially in a group- strong self-control is a must! I wouldn't advise it personally, but if people have done it before and able to pull it off, then they will do it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under cover away fans eh? Probably best to suspect the worst of everybody and anybody sat near you that you don't know by name. If they aren't up and bouncing at every City shot, punch first and ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the couple next door are really nice and very quiet - not fanatical or jumping up types ! * WhenI get their seat numbers though I’ll post them on here well before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Leeds, first year they came down it was a bigger attraction but as another season goes by they become less of a big deal. Would be looking forward to Friday night just as much if it were Birmingham, Ipswich or QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would never have got away with it on a school night. Re: parking, I use JustPark to guarantee my spot in advance and ensure I'm a fairly short walk from the ground.
