As an aside when we beat Crawley Town, Torquay United beat West Bromwich Albion that same day 1-0.

In the league.

Didn't we have 19K vs Bristol Rovers, last game of the season (was it 88-89?)

As a further aside is the Crawley game also our highest gate receipts from a home game?

19,800 i think it was......Donnie game will be biggest league crowd since this.......well i would hope it will be!!!

So assuming a near 22,500 crowd it will be the biggest home league attendance since?

I'm guessing sometime in 83?

 

[The Large One]

Liverpool - March 83

Yep. I'll go with that.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Arsenal & Rovers games were in the same season, 1988-89. 26,000 odd for the cup, about 19,800 ish for the last League game.

Had just moved in with a g/f in Poets Corner, and for the two years of our co-habitation, failed to miss a home game

Torquay United beat West Bromwich Albion that same day 1-0. In the league.

Was that WBA's promotion season from the third division? I went to one of their last matches that season, at Field Mill; the away following actually outnumbered the home support.

I'd have gone to Plainmoor to watch that match myself.
