Have a distant memory of reading about that. Think it was a Stockport game. Can’t remember the ins and outs. Might have been a double header and they counted the crowd twice.

It was a Stockport game vs Leicester. It was played straight after a home United fixture, and an additional 13 customers paid to see the extra match. How many stayed to watch isn't recorded.

I was invited into a box in Platt Lane and there was 7 of us.
A steward came in half way through the game to do a head count. When it came.up as 3,007, we laughed, saying that we were the 7

Lost something like 2-1?

Not so many there v Chester in the FA Cup? 10,000 or so. Friday night.

Swap League Cup for FA Cup, and Wednesday night for Friday night and you'd be right. Second leg played at Edgeley Park.
