My Dad went to that match in 1934 against Stoke, aged 10.
The crowd was officially 84,569, and he told me he went there on his bike, leant it against a lampost at Maine Road, (unlocked) and it was there when he got back after the match.
Nowadays the bike and the lampost would have gone........:)
The Kippax (or popular side) and the Platt Lane look awesome in that picture.
