We have
plenty more attendances higher than Liverpool’s highest n’all.
I posted a picture on the Maine Road/Etihad thread the other day:
View attachment 11971
This was just a 68,614 attendance from a 1934 FA Cup early round replay. Still higher than Liverpool’s #1 attendance (61,905).
I don’t think Liverpool’s highest attendance would make the Top 250 all-time English club ground attendances. When you think, they’re 18th in the list for individual club’s best attendances; each of the 17 clubs ahead of them will have numerous attendances above their best. Christ, I bet we have well over two-dozen greater than them alone, United must have hundreds.
If you start to add games like Spurs v Leverkusen at Wembley, Arsenal v Lens at Wembley, United v Arsenal at Maine Road... speak to anyone at the City v Charlton 1985 promotion what they think the
real attendance was that day!; I doubt Liverpool would make the Top 500.
