Villa are held by a late goal at Ayresome Park but climb to 4th in the table, nine points off QPR in second place and twelve behind leaders Burnley. On the terraces however a few Villa fans embarrass themselves with a needless petition to remove boss Vic Crowe.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it fourteen wins, twelve draws and eight defeats in thirty four League games. Meanwhile, John Hickton became the first substitute to score against Villa.
