Blackburn,Bolton and Preston have 18,000 + empties whilst the winners at the moment is probably Coventry and MK Franchise FC who have 22,000 empty seats each home game.
20,000? Err the capacity of VP is 42,000. More than 26,000 last night so were did you get the 20k figure from?

Even aside from your thick twattery on the figures, we have a high quality stadium which has hosted World Cup, Euros and FA Cup semi finals so surely it's a reflection of the prestige and marketability of our place compared to your fucking cowshed.

OK,going off your figures just the 16,000 empty seats then,Think its time Villa groundshared with Walsall, the stadium is obviously too big for the current mob. :D

So it's not 20,000 which renders your whole point redundant then. Throwing random figures around not just once but twice shows you up as the clueless pie munching tit you really are. Why would we groundshare with a club that has a capacity of about 6,000 when we had more than four times that last night? :? It was a Tuesday night match against Goffeh's mob. It's not the norm.

Have you lost your marbles, Finchy?

Hahaha, fuckin calm down,tbf my' records 'say Villa Park's capacity is 46,000, I think the powers that be should not only be worrying about the abysmal performances on the pitch but the fucking thousands and thousands of empty plackie seats on matchdays.

Maybe Walsall was a bit harsh, what about a groundshare with West Brom? There would only be a couple of thousand empty seats there when t'Villar played a home game.

It's not been 46,000 since the 1980s, grandad, before the terraces were ripped out and replaced with seating all around the ground.

Is your definition of 'Grandad' anyone who can remember anything prior to May 2013?

Granted Villa's last trophy was about 20 years ago and in a relatively Micky Mouse trophy, but remember that only the decade previously they were European champions. And arguably the then relatively devalued league cup they won in 96 (I think) was at that time still of more worth than the now discredited FA cup (think Anglo-Italian trophy in terms of current status) was even 4 years ago.

I'd imagine that The Emirates could be pretty empty for the 2nd leg against Bayern.

Proportionally, Wigan Athletic has the most "unsold" therefore empty seats on match days.

Fact.
