Yes. I'm not sure I can be bothered to check, but I'll BET there are Villa fans whinging on Twitter and message boards that their allocation isn't big enough and should be bigger than Fulham's.

Thanks for the love so far. Not only are Villa fans saying they should have got more tickets but they're also claiming they'll have 15000 in our end because they got their City/Wolves mates with a booking history in our neutral section to get tickets. We'll see.

The are are lots of connections between Albion and Fulham as well - Sidwell, Rosenior, Zamora in recent years; Mullery, Maybank further back.

Hmm. For the aesthetics of the Premier League (nice away day, another southern team etc) Fulham.

Selfishly as a Brighton fan Villa because they’re still a basket case and would struggle next year - financially cannot sustain huge losses/spending again and might lead to Fulham parting with key assets like Crainey and Sessegnon.

Villa. Roughly 100 miles closer to where I live than Fulham.

When we visited there for the FAC match in 2011, on the giant screens for an hour before kick off, they relentlessly went on about their 1982 European Cup triumph. A great achievement at the time, as were Forest’s double. But it seemed strange that a club and fanbase which considers itself massive, only have one main talking point. It points to them NOT being as significant in modern British football as they bizarrely believe.

We like Fulham. They are a nice club with nice fans.

Aston Villa are an arrogant club with a higher proportion of not-so-nice fans.

They were saying the same when they visited recently, how it was ridiculous they weren't getting a bigger allocation and that they had fans throughout the ground. Also how fantastic their away support is.

They didn't, and they weren't. Seems like their fans overstretch just as much as their club has/does.

Fast forward 6 months and we were given less than we gave them when we visited villa park where they choose to serve alcohol from only one kiosk, despite us wanting to celebrate promotion (and potential trophy :shootself) and despite them having an entire stand closed because their support is flakey as ****.

Oddly enough, I went up there to see them play an FA Cup match...with Fulham (who were league one at the time).

Highly amusing to see their fans all pissed off after they'd been turned over by the plucky minnows. More of the same tomorrow please.

Was going to put Villa as have lived in Birmingham and still have family there and not far for me as an away day, but as soon as I saw this bellend it’s got to be Fulham hasn’t it.

I would take any London club apart from the Nigels over Villa

Yes including Millwall.

Ryan Fredericks always looks quality when I’ve seen him play. Would be a great signing if Fulham don’t win and the squad gets picked off.

Has everyone on here forgotten that Villa (Bruce) nicked our assistant manager, more or less live on Sky.......what other reason do we, as a club, want Fulham to win......no brainer !!

One of my best mates is a Fulham ST holder, so I could've gone to the final if it wasn't for my son having a football tournament!

One of my favourite grounds, really what's not to like? We normally get a result up there too. I've missed our annual trip there so hopefully it'll be back on next season.
