Are you counting FA Cup finals (i.e teams winning multiple times) or just once if a team has won it multiple times?

No, just the distinct teams that have won the FA Cup. So max of 20  in the Prem, 24 in the others

The Championship I reckon.

Loads of FA Cup winners in there at a quick glance through the tables. Actually it was easier to count the teams who hadn't won it in the top 2 tiers.

12 in the Prem, 14 in the Championship!

Amazing that 8 top flight teams have never won it really, including the current champions. They are: Palace,Dull,Leicester,Boro.Stoke,Swansea,Watford,Bournemouth

Probably a function of the fact the competition has been going so long - long before many of the current big clubs have been around. In fact longer than all but a handful of clubs in the 92.

Sunderland 1999 ?

And I seem to remember it was a capacity crowd that day after we had gone all seater in the mid 90's.

Not officially, but I had have a guess at either Chelsea or Newcastle on the last day of the season when they won the title here. Newcastle more than Chelsea maybe as the away end was sold out and they had fans in all other stands too.

Rochdale, late 70's was a Tuesday night game.

Q2 Which away team holds the record attendance at BP


Do you mean who did we play in the record attendance game at BP or the away team who brought the most fans?

I'd guess at Leeds 1982 or Newcastle 1993. Both brought about 8000 in crowds of 16/15,000 respectively. Hard to tell in The Toon's case because at least half of them were in home areas. The noisy Geordie fookers (but at least they didn't destroy the furniture unlike those Yarkshire oafs.

West Ham brought a lot of fans in 1980-81.  They were in 3 stands so impossible to count.  A very big crowd and the possibly of Town going up to the top flight that season.

That, like the Chelsea game a few years later, was one of those that lots of the Hammers fans claim to have been at. At least judging by the high percentage of them that I've spoken to over the years. Both iconic games in their promotion seasons.
