Record attendance at their own stadium not the national stadium. If spurs claim that then they are clutching at straws imo.We had to change the frame of reference for that attendance when Spurs were playing at Wembley, so not quite correct.

Imagine the scenario, Scruffy Jim going up the aisle like daft Donald asking for spare cash then getting the packed lunches (made by Tent Pegs missus ) out so they don't have to pay for in-flight meals. Sipping his tap water he peruses his spread sheet to see how much they could save charging ex managers / players for match day tickets. At the airport baggage carousel he grabs his tent and begins his long walk to the nearest campsite to the bollox dor venue.View attachment 136238
A story from the DM that warms the cockles in the two varying situations at the Manchester clubs. Very Swales playbook from the rags this time.

Our record morphed from biggest home attendance to biggest attendance at home stadium, so to say it’s never been beaten can’t be strictly correct or the record would have always been claimed as the latter.Record attendance at their own stadium not the national stadium.

It’ll always be a record attendance to me as it was at Maine Road and my dad was there!Our record morphed from biggest home attendance to biggest attendance at home stadium, so to say it’s never been beaten can’t be strictly correct or the record would have always been claimed as the latter.
Imagine being a club with a stadium, whose record attendance figure, didn’t involve themselves.Our record morphed from biggest home attendance to biggest attendance at home stadium, so to say it’s never been beaten can’t be strictly correct or the record would have always been claimed as the latter.
It’s always a good wind-up, when united fans talk about attendances.
Moi: ‘Bet you can’t tell me the team that played at Old Trafford when it had its highest attendance?’
Idiot: ‘huh , with you saying that, I bet it’s City?’
Moi: ‘nope’
Idiot: ‘oh ok, so Liverpool then?’
Moi: ‘nope’
Idiot: ‘Arsenal? Chelsea? Leeds? Everton?’
Moi: ‘you’ll not get it, so I’ll help out , it was Wolves’
Idiot: ‘wolves, wow ok, well it shows united are the big pull’
Moi: ‘err, hang on, this is a 2 part question, what was the other team that played against wolves?’
Idiot: ‘huh? United, what you talking about?!?’
Moi: ‘nope, it was Grimsby. Your highest attendance at old Trafford didn’t involve you, it involved wolves, and Grimsby… imagine having a record attendance at your own stadium, that doesn’t involve you… and involves… Grimsby. No wonder you cling to the emptihad gibe bollox, it’s just embarrassing mate’

Their highest ever "home" attendance wasn't even in their own stadium either.
That’s the supplemental question, to really rub it home!I've caught a few of the plastic no nowts with that one down the years.

I always thought it was the highest attendance outside of Wembley anyway.We had to change the frame of reference for that attendance when Spurs were playing at Wembley, so not quite correct.
I wasn't there though;-)
