Arsenal in the FA Cup 4th Round, 1988 - I think.

Arsenal in the FA cup in the late 80's.

Im not buying who killed the zutons on principle.

About 26,000 there that day, avec moi at my second ever Brighton game. I thought it would always be like that and away fans would always throw pound coins to supplement my pocket money.

I'd go for that: the promotion clinching game at the end of that season only drew about 19,800 by comparison & there's no way we've had anything like that high ever since.

Officialy the crowd for the FA Cup game against Pompey, in around 94, was less than 20k...according to those who did get into the ground, unlike yours truly, there were far more than that rammed into it.

This was at a time when crowds may have been fiddled due to attempts to underpay the taxman for money received on the gate...allegedly!

All true. I was there, they had it down as some ludicrous figure that was way below what was actually in the ground. I remember thinking there must have been around 20K in the ground that day.
