    Seen them many a time. The fact that Huddersfield's record attendance is more than Leeds and Bolton's is larger than Liverpool's are a couple that always ones that come into it when fans of TWS and Liverpool are giving it largevabout how massive they have always been..
    Have been in Burnden Park in the early 60s when there were 45,000 there. They had 50,000 for a cup game in the mid 1970s. Having been there 3 or 4 years earlier with City when the crowd was less than 10,000 but with major scenes of mayhem it was hard to envisage what it would been like in there with a crowd that size in there

    I know it's a league game and they're still pulling the crowd, but part of me thinks that a big asterisk should be placed next to these attendances cos of the situation.

    Not sure who they are playing, but if that game was an ordinary one at WHL, would they, in principle, sell 90k tickets (if capacity somehow was there)?

    That often gets dropped into conversations. The fact we are the only club whose highest ever average was in Division 3 gets brought into it as well.

    Just heard that Spurs won't set the record this weekend as Brent council have put in place restrictions. Chelsea have only 3k tickets in a 90k stadium <laugh>

    Man Utd's record crowd was for a home game they played at Maine Road. Whilst the lowest ever gate for a league game was at Old Trafford.

    <laugh> Amended. Must have pressed the h above the b and the bleeding tablet assumed I was talking about hotels.
    You did miss that it had put a capital b and altered an e to an r so I posted the capital of Switzerland instead of been.

    They queued quietly & didn't complain about missing kick off.
