John Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 This is a friendly that should attract a decent crowd. Having been to quite a few over the years, I would think a crowd that is above 20,000, but below 30,000 is most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its very difficult to gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I think people are salivating for any kind of live football. Could be well north of 30,000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I have lived in the USA for too long, I thought for a moment this was tomorrow (they do the dates wrong over here, MM//DD/YY for some bizarre reason vs the DD/MM/YY as ordained by God and all things righteous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take much to confuse me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also played Fiorentina one year? went to both the games, remember the valencia game being on ITV4 too for some reason. Anyone know what the florentina and valencia lineups was when they played us?

ender4 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So do friendly games attract a big crowd? Isn’t it just a glorified training match? Would both sides play their first 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would both sides play their first 11? Depends on our optimism. If we are allowed to go I think it will be at least 30,000 minimum given its over 12 months since the majority of us have been to a proper match. We got 36,000 v Inter Milan years ago in the early Lerner days. Some of the later friendlies versus italian or spanish clubs got gates more like 20-25,000. No it is a friendly but is the last game before the start of the season so they will be nearly match sharp. I expect to see all of our players back by then even those who have been involved in the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 19, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2021 I'm convinced this will sell out. I don't think it's beyond imagination that this won't go to general sale. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 £10 a ticket, on sale today. This is going to be a sell out, a packed Villa Park for a pre season friendly will be something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Done. Cheaper than a pre season game I went to at Kidderminster. The prices are £10 all stands, seems a bit of a glitch as originally Witton Lane and Trinity came up as £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
