I believe it's set to be our second biggest League Cup attendance at AP (current 2nd highest is Man City in 1995 when 7,443 watched a 0-0 draw in a 2nd round first leg tie).
According to the website we have 1045 tickets left in the home areas. If Villa have sold out that would imply we have sold a total of around 8300 tickets. The terrace is sold out too.
Former capacity was 10,000. Wondering how many of those 600 less seats are due to red tape/safety certificate and how many are broken/unavailable seats?
Apologies if this has been answered earlier in the thread, but will there be a bus running from the station ? I’ve not used this service before and couldn’t find anything mentioned on the official website.
A bit old now but Matt Cecil gave me the capacity figures, by stand, five years ago, and that was 9388, including 64 disabled spaces. So in line with @wwfcblue. I also remember General Manager Michael Davies saying that the capacity could vary match to match, depending on various needs for seats.
If only, Alan ! The best I can offer these days is preparation of breakfast (late morning!), afternoon snacks and the even more complex task of preparing and cooking the evening meal. A night off is a Charlie Bigham ready meal (highly recommended) popped in the oven for half an hour.
The saddest thing now is that I can barely push the wheelie bins up the sloping drive (and we’ve got mini bins !) Wish we were on the level as I think you probably are.
I think its a combination of factors. Believe the away end and home terrace have both had their capacity downgraded due to changes in health and safety and security regs, and some small seating layout changes.
I wonder how the pitch and ground is currently doing with the weather? Stokenchurch has had a reported 64mm of rain and Prestwood even more! The pitch normally drains well but the surrounding stands, roads & car park must be struggling? Not the mention the FA Stand roof!

I remember an old gentleman (Ray?) on the coach who seemed to have every result from England and Scotland memorized by 5pm on Saturday.
Wow, if that's an invite for people to take the piss......
Bad choice of words or clever marketing?
I guess me posting this suggests the latter?
Puts Starmer’s peccadillos in the shade.
Could have been Ray Sharp, one of a pair of elderly gentlemen who went to every away game until about 15-20 years ago. Sharp by name but……..
7,300+ tickets sold as of Sunday afternoon.
Total for both clubs ?

Nice statto work son.
Looks like the club got the pricing structure spot on. Which is only fair to admit, as I for one certainly thought they'd overpriced it.

AP now holds around 9400.
Not Chelsea in the semi final?
Current 2nd highest. Chelsea being the 1st with 9771
That’s extremely encouraging. Hopefully we’ll do well and convince some floaters to be come regulars.
Does anyone know if the match will be shown on WanderersTV ? If not, I’ll have to be on my very best behaviour on Tuesday to watch on Sky.
Praise indeed coming from you!
With the game being on Sky (Main Event and Football) there will be only audio coverage on WTV.
Time to be a good boy Mike and get all those jobs done 😀
I co-ordinate the audio of Mr Catchpole with Sky. Very easy to do as just pause the one in front until kick off and you’re good to go

FA blocks L/M and R/S have a chunk of seats greyed out and unavailable to buy right at the back.
Not sure why this is.
I think most of the 600 "seats" are actually due to the need for the Terrace to be majorly repaired or rebuilt and it's capacity being reduced
Can I suggest an automated wheelie bin!

Cards and no mistakes come to mind again, @mooneyman. I would go for it but mrs micra doesn’t like the colour.
Bus section in preview. Two buses leave station at 18:30, returning 22:15, or later if match goes to penalties.

Sky camera crew maybe?
Not bad for a flawed pricing policy, poor parking and it being on the telly box.
All we need now is Villa demeaning this competition by not taking it seriously.
