Thanks for the additional info Gary, I think my grandad would have been doing his nut about that late Pompey goal!The Portsmouth game ended late! It was deeply suspicious and the City fans, management and players were on the pitch celebrating promotion when the news came through that Portsmouth had scored the goal they needed to go up instead! It was a definite fix!
City were 3rd best supported club that season (as a 2nd Div club!) behind NUFC and EFC (only about 600 fans behind EFC too!). In 1927-28 City were the best supported team with an average of 37,468 to First Division Everton's 37,461!
