Id expect no more than 1500 away fans

Double that at least 

They'll sell our just to rack up loyalty points for their away day allocations, which last time I saw was proper competitive and for the hardcore

Very pleased with that draw -  great opportunity for Evatt to pit his wits against Premier League opponents 

Was hoping it might be broadcast and we get benefit of TV money but Newcastle @ Tranmere Everton @ Fleetwood and Leicester @ Stockport probably more appealing to the broadcasters -  soon find out 

Villa lost at Bournemouth at weekend and will go into this match on back of tricky games at home to Everton and then away to Palace - both of whom will be keen to get points on the board. ( Palace are at Liverpool this weekend )

Could be ideal moment to be playing  them

Villa's only 4 away games for August and September are Bournemouth, Palace, Arsenal, Leicester. Relatively small away ends (even Arsenal is only 3k for league games), loads won't get tickets for those so I'd be amazed if there are any spare seats in their end here especially with cheap tickets (£15?).

Need to take advantage of a likely full away end, get em to £20 Shazza

That would be a big OG for me, we've got no history of selling cup tie tickets that are above £15.  We want to see a decent crowd and not be virtually outnumbered by Villa.  We've got 2 league games at home next week, not sure how many will pay £20 to go to 3 games in a week.  £15 max and £5 kids, hope to get 20k on.

I think the suggestion was make Villa fans pay 20 quid not home fans, worth rinsing the Brummies if we can.

There's rules against that, I was going to say "unfortunately" but if there wasn't we'd be getting charged even more at the likes of Fleetwood, Morecambe, Accy.

If memory serves me right they didn’t quite sell out for the snow game, but I’d still expect them to bring 3,000 or so

cheap tickets and they'll sell out

Embarrassing that year was it 16k? 

Summet like that.

Premier league complacency at its finest.

Compare that to Swindon Semi a decade earlier. Mad how folks mindset can change.

Obviously the buzz and full house, not the actual figure.

Tranmere semi final 1st leg at home was far worse.  Allardyces early days when there was a real malaise around the place and everything was a bit meh.  We had no idea what was coming!

Despite reaching semi final of both competitions and the play offs in season one!
