Cheers,

I took a load of my family (non sth & jcls) and they can't wait to go again.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

More than Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth put together...

I understand a lot of people did not travel from London as well due to the disturbances, so could have been a little higher.

Q's for ticket collection were long as well.

I thought it was a great atmosphere and looks good if we can get good turn outs for round 1 league cup games.

 

[Randsta]

I was glad that I collected my ticket yesterday lunchtime; when I got to the ground @ 18:45 the queue was massive!!! I heard as well that they had sold out, so found it strange that the attendance was 16 thousand ish! great attendance for the 1st round of the cup

And if you consider that the other two games were local derbies...

First Round

19,787 v Portsmouth 1969-70 (epic match)

Classic game. That run also included home games against Birmingham and Wolves who ended our run with a 3-2 defeat. The League Cup meant so much more those days, especially in the earlier rounds.

 

[Smithy24]

Oldham Athletica 1-1 Carlisle United (Carlisle United win 4-2 on penalties)
Att: 1,786

That automatically makes their name 10 times better

 

[Martinf]

Oldham Athletica 1-1 Carlisle United (Carlisle United win 4-2 on penalties)
Att: 1,786

Athletica did well pulling in nearly 1800. Must be the biggest attendance in their history.





Edit: Doh! beaten by Smithy24!

 

[Fawkesy]

only 3 games with over 10k as well!
