Attendances

Hey Wilf - I am going back to Easter 1955 - Good Friday 8th April - City vs. WBA - City win 4-0. Att. 57,000.
Next Day Easter Saturday 9th April - City vs. Sunderland - City win 1-0 (with a penalty by Don Revie IIRC) .Att. 60,000 . Sunderland had a reserve keeper called Dunlop (think their regular keeper was injured the day before when they beat the Rags 4-3 at Roker). Funny that City had 2 home games at Easter - Good Friday and Easter Saturday.
I am sure Gary James can confirm or correct what I say.
We lost the 1955 Cup Final to Newcastle a month later.3-1.

Cheers mate. That's really informative. First time for 60 years on Saturday ... wow! I think this could be our best season ever in so many different ways. Thanks again.
 
Might be a KdeB plot????. For when he signs............

As long as it doesn't prompt Dismal to produce his much threatend Mancini CIA dossier.

Back to the crowd, anything close to a sell out will be a big achievement with so many people on holiday. Just in my supporters club alone, there are several people away whose cards have been passed on for free - otherwise they would have probably bought the open sale tickets from the Club.

Yes, your memory matches the facts and City did have 2 home games in consecutive days at Easter in 1955 (our history section on Blue Moon shows lineups etc.). Great that over 110,000 attended City home games in 2 days.
 
Apparently Watford tickets aren't selling too quickly. They've taken the full allocation, though, meaning we won't be able to sell the tickets for them.
