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

[Kippax.]

I know you said home, but I think it was York away.

What's this about 1971 was the only year the North Stand was standing?

What was there before '71?

Before the North Stand was built there was an uncovered terrace known as the Scoreboard End(probably because that is where the large old fashioned scoreboard was situated).

So apart from a roof, what's the difference between a terrace and a standing end?

Or did they build the North Stand with the full intention of putting seats in it but left it as a terrace for a season half way through building it?

Here's a list of City's top 100 attendances:

Is everyone forgetting City 10 Huddlesfield 1
the attendance that night must have been 250K at least
Every blue I've spoken to claims to have been there that night funnily enough though I remember a few empty seats

Those that claim they were there at night will have missed it all anyway.

well spotted

I have actually had a few Fans tell me about "that match that night"

to which I ask them if they were there for the Notts County game in the johnsons paints trophey or whatever it was called when we recorded our lowest ever attendance

that normally shuts them up if not I then point out the 10 - 1 was a Saturday

Well as I'm on a roll I may as well point out it was Mansfield not Notts County.

Sorry.

In fairness to him, Mansfield is in the county of Notts.

Rags were playing a Champions League game at home if I'm correct on the following night to mansfield and the media had a dig at our no show compared to the Rags big crowd

Also think the attendance for Huddersfield was only around the 19000 mark.

Not hard to find out but from memory I'm thinking 17,000.

Most home games were between 15,000 & 19,000 in those days. No arguing over how many points you need to buy a Millwall away ticket back then.

It was around 17,000. I was sat right behind Brian Clark from Piccadilly Radio for that game. Rubbing shoulders with the stars once again.
