What is the biggest crowd you've been part of at an Albion home game?

[maltaseagull]

35,000 February 18th 1967 v Chelsea in the 4th Round of the FA cup (Also skipped school to go to the replay. That was a big crowd too not sure how many though) plus several of the 70s games. Didn't manage to get into the Div 2 game V spurs. Was that 32K? got turned away about 10 from the front

 

[Drumstick]

Not a home game but for me it was the Millennium stadium in 2004, As a '89 baby I got tail end of Goldstone, Withdean and now the Amex so in all honesty my highest home gate is 21,897 v Liverpool this seasons cup.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just found the details on Statto.
FA Cup 4th Round 18th Feb, 1967
Brighton 1 Chelsea 1
Don't know what the crowd was but it was capacity and I seem to remember that was rated at 35,000 at that time.

Ay ay ay ay,
Bonetti is better than Yashin,
Hollins is Better than eusebio,
And brighton are in for a thrashing.

But they didn't, until te replaay, which they won 4-0

 

[the wanderbus]

Was in all the 30,000+ Goldstone crowds in the late 70's.

Was also at Spurs for the div 2 game with a 48,000+ crowd

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Sorry about "te replaay" there. I didn't realise I could speak Dutch.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Albion v Derby '76 33,601. Wardy scored in the first minute - what a night.

The Sheff wed game El P mentions..my mother booked a evening of gilbert and sullivan in Eastbourne .....I cant believe my dad said yes

[chucky1973]

what was the palace crowd december 27 1980, i always thought that was just 30K and it was my biggest home crowd?

 

[vegster]

V Palace on a tuesday night, I think it was 74/75, 33,000 all ticket and we won 2-0 !

 

[the wanderbus]

Didn't manage to get into the Div 2 game V spurs. Was that 32K? got turned away about 10 from the front

At an all-ticket game?

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

33,500 v Derby in 1976 League Cup rd 4.

this one

charlie george clean through from the kick off,grumitt saves,throw's it out to gerry fell,who fly's down the wing like ballyregan bob

crosses for wardy to score in front of the north stand,all in under 40 seconds!

you just had to be there,went to the replay too,played in green that night

sammy morgan double,superb!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

the arsenal game in '88. was it really only 26,000, I thought we had a 29,000 capacity then and the game certainly sold out

 

[Blackadder]

34,766 3rd May 1972 v Rochdale (1-1 draw to secure promotion from the old Div 3) for me. We bunked off school early to get in. I knew some people who were locked out.

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

Not so for the Chelsea game, tickets went on sale at a reserve match - must have been the biggest attendance the Lambs ever got

lol i remember that night north stand was almost full

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

anyone remember the reserve game against charlton,might be wrong but i think over 10,000

everyone was there getting palace tickets

also,was at u-21 game against norway,wardy hat-trick,not sure of the gate,not 30k i know,but would be interested to know what it was

 

[Magic Sponge]

Albion v Derby '76 33,601. Wardy scored in the first minute - what a night.

Yes I was 13 and in the North Stand for this one, what a night.
My Dad let me off school so that we could go to the replay as well.
We went on a coach run by The Rev and his brother and there were about 65 on a 52 seater, bodies and cases of beer all up the aisle, what a journey !

1972 v Rochdale - I was the last one through the S Stand turnstile and missed J Templeman on 4
