Isle of Man tour, July 1994

If that figure is right ....surely it would be any teams largest away following at an English ground ?
I've not heard 27k mentioned before ,butt heard 20k from a lot of sources including older geordies who remember the day.very well.


Must be very hard to tell in those no ticket days.

Villa took a similar number to Highbury when they won the league in 81. They closed the gates about 1pm. Villa all over the ground.

That IOM trip is one of my first city memories. Remember the open training session. Brian Horton was great, making sure players mixed with the fans. Seem to remember the team going to play golf, but as he wasn't much of a golfer, Rosler went for a drink instead and sat chatting to fans for ages.

As people have said, the game has changed a lot!
