Last occasion when City got a 60,000 + home attendance

[manclad]

With the planned expansion of the Etihad to accommodate crowds of over 60,000 now beginning to happen,it got me thinking about when was the last time that there was a 60,000+ crowd at Maine Road.
The last one I can remember was the 1971 Derby game against United (3-3 draw)when the attendance was over 63,000(and I was one of those present).It was the only season when the North Stand was standing only,and thus 2 sides of Maine Road was for standing spectators.And this gave a much larger capacity at Maine Road for 1 season only.
Was this the last time such a large crowd attended a City home game or have there been any others since then??

3-3 at Maine Road in early 70s was 63k I think.
