Official attendance 17,000, the biggest at home since ...

[The History Man]

When?

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Crawley Town at home in the FA Cup 1992?

 

[Mackenzie]

Bristol Rovers 87/88?

 

[Surport Local Team]

where has this been released as i am sure it is not 17000 exactly

 

[westy]

Pompey in the FA Cup 1993? That was packed on the North stand that day. God knows how many were REALLY in the ground that day...

Insider confirmed that it was 17,000 in ask the club.

 

[Mackenzie]

Arsenal In the FA cup (Can't remember the year, but I remember Nelson's flying volley).

Hmm, 17000 exactly does sound a bit sus...

 

[Jam The Man]

Pretty sure it's the biggest since Crawley in Jan 1992.. must've been 18k that day (in the ground that is!!!)

17,581 v Portsmouth, FA Cup R3, 2 Jan 1993. Well done Westy.

Last time we had over 20,000 - as I hope we will on Saturday - was 26,467 v Arsenal, FA Cup R3, 30 Jan 1988.

Last time we had over 20,000 in the league was 20,874 v Chelsea, Div 2, 3 Sep 1983. If it beats that figure then it will be the highest home league crowd since 25,030 v Liverpool, 22 Mar 1983.

Saturday's 17,000 attendance - yes, I know it sounds dodgy - will have been the biggest for a non-competitive home match ever, beating the 15,768 v an All Star XI on 13 Nov 1967 for the benefit of Jack Bertolini and Cyril Hodges.

30 January 1988 - BHA 1-2 Arsenal

If it beats that figure then it will be the highest home league crowd since 25,030 v Liverpool, 22 Mar 1983.

Was that the 1-3 at half time, final score we drew 3-3? Pouring rain, no roof on the North Stand.

Ah yes, correct, 17 October 1981, 3-3 Foster, Case, Ritchie, but it was 0-2 at half time.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

[chucky1973]

Ah yes, correct, 17 October 1981, 3-3 Foster, Case, Ritchie, but it was 0-2 at half time.

was that the late comeback...3-1 down with about 15 mins to go, was one a diving header if I remember right in the South Stand?

I have an awful memory, astonishingly abysmal and struggle to put experiences, scores, players etc to matches however.....

This, for me, ranks as one of the most memorable games I've ever seen.

 

[Notters' Dad]

Today's Argus says Saturday's attendance was 16,608.

 

[perseus]

Today's Argus says Saturday's attendance was 16,608.

Pompey in Jan 93 was 17,581.
Not as great a draw as Crawley January 1992 @ 18,031
Arsenal in Jan 1988 26,647 (probably the biggest away allocation at the Goldstone)

Last League game

Portsmouth 16,640 1985-1986
Leeds United 17,279 1984-85
Chelsea 20,874 1983-84 (This was our first League meeting against Chelsea, the Londoners being a lower division for the previous four seasons)
(We finished ninth that season and we were NOT happy despite being above Pompey and Palace)
Liverpool 25,030 1982-83
Last big League crowd:
Charlton 30,859 1979-80
