OK. Try this one. Which was the last team to get a 30000+ crowd in the lowest division (i.e. what is now League 2)?

 

[The Large One]

Without looking it up, I am going to guess Wolves in the mid-late 1980s.

No. It was a few years before that.

It wasn't Palace. I'll give you a clue. The year was 1965.

You're saying 31,423 v Darlington at The Goldstone was the last 30,000+ crowd in Div IV?

There is a pretty big devil in the detail. I am pretty sure that the 1991 Playoff final had the highest attendance of any league match in all 4 divisions that season.
