Arsenal away in 1989 after we came up is a contender. The day we lost 4-0 in the yellow kit. I wasn’t there but a mate was. He went on the special and he said Arsenal fans were gobsmacked at the size of the escort. Seen some estimates of 8000 or more blues. Not sure how accurate that is but I think it was Arsenal’s second highest league crowd that season after the North London derby.

I was at this, and I’d say 8k is too high. It was packed behind the net and we had seats to the left side as well but I’d reckon about 4/5k max. We arrived late due to traffic and by the time we got in the ground it was virtually impossible to get on the terrace it was so full! Didn’t miss much tho!

I was there but agreed it wasn't 8 thousand. It was packed but the ground didn't hold enough to have a segregated amount of that

Was at the game , thought i'd gone to the wrong game when City came out in yellow, if memory serves we had half the clock end approx 4000.

I've only seen us win once there, when Benjani scored.

But still got to celebrate some great goals that we had loads there - Uwe's in the cup, Brightwell's (we should've won that game) and even in that '86? cup game, Varadi equalised but they disallowed it for a push apparently.

Yep was at all those hanes you mentioned, but no cigar, sadly.
 
FA Cup final 2013

We must have had ¾ of the stadium.

The Pies had a bit behind the goal (you can see where the black segregation strip with a line of stewards is in the corner) and a bit more of the top tier, and we had the rest of the stadium.

Ten years on and we wouldn’t be able to do that. We don’t even sell out our own half anymore. Utterly bizarre what’s happened to our fanbase.
