Our attendance record is under threat

[Gaylord du Bois]

I always knew this record as "The largest attendance for a domestic football game outside of Wembley". Dont know why Scottish fixtures are being brought into it.

Notice they don't even other going there on Floodlight Top Trumps.

Someone write to the police covering the game and ask for the actual number of people through the door.

Will be lower than the tickets sold figure ;)

Our record is the highest in England outside of wembley. I thought everybody knew that.

Not that it matters but when we set the record they probably wouldn't have had tickets they figure would of had come off the turn styles ,so a more accurate figuare

Its actually never been that. The old FA Cup Final venue at Crystal Palace (where the athletics stadium is now) twice held 100.000 plus before the First World War for cup finals.

Record for tbe most cunts at one game.

Surely that must go to a united v liverpool wembley final ?

In reality its reckoned that there were 90,000 - 95,000 actually there and a similar figure at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea went over 80,000.

We all know from the Charlton game that offical attendances can be, shall we say,misleading!

People actually care about this! Its like those who count seats

They've got a long way to go to beat York City's home record of 47,000,000.

Not in their own stadium, so irrelevant IMO.
Someone (Who knows how how to do it) please ammend the Wiki page which some Spurs fan has obviously jumped on.

United are on that list at Maine Road and Arsenal at Wembley too so they would also need to come off if that was the case.

Surely, that is the case, mate.

So they changed what the record actually was so they could break it as ITV mentioned about 6 times during the highlights.

Got to smile, they still lost.

Quick question for @Gary James
Our record home attendance is 84,467 on some sources and 84,569 on others (including on BM). Which is correct?

Our attendance record has never been 84,467, it's always been 84,569 (some reports back in 1934 had a typo - 84,568). Those who show it as 84,467 have clearly not done their research.

84,569 - still a record for a competitive crowd on a League club ground.
