I think this was the only post WW2 season our home attendances were greater than united’s. Either that season or the one after.
Calling @Gary James !!
Don't think we averaged more than them GDM, in those season's. Think we got close, within 5k 77/78.

Maybe I’m getting a bit confused, mate. I renember there was a season’s attendances that persuaded Swales to go for the big push spending-wise, and ruin the club in the process. Maybe it was just closing the gap re attendances, rather than overtaking them.Don't think we averaged more than them GDM, in those season's. Think we got close, within 5k 77/78.
Either way, he fucking blew it!

That's what happened mate, we got within a few k attendance wise, and he decided to go for it. The rest is history.

Don't have to be the brain of Britain to figure that one out mate.
If it's a rag tell him they got 28 or 29k for a league match vs Wimbledon while Ferguson was manager, obviously before the success arrived. Glory hunting ****s.
