Happy Record Crowd Anniversary

[Gary James]

Today is the anniversary of City’s record crowd of 84,569. This remains the record attendance for any game on a club ground. It is also the record for any game in Britain outside of Glasgow and London.

I’ve written quite a lot on this over the years such as:

A National Record – 84,569

“I think Brook played in every position for the Club – he certainly went in nets once – and was a very good player. When the goal went in it was marvellous. Nirvana. On the final whistle I didn’t need to use my feet to leave I was wedged in a solid wall of human flesh and swept…

My Great Grandad was in that crowd as he was from Didsbury. I suppose I have him to thank for being a City fan as he passed that down and has continued through each generation since.

Was there a particular reason for such high attendances in that season? For example, I believe Stoke had their record home attendance in that season as well, at home to Arsenal.

Fuck all on the telly. BBC didn't start broadcasting (tv) until 1934 and didn't really get going until 1936.
