Seems such an obvious thing to do now, to construct something in the open corners. A new stadium is a huge expense, but we may as well optimise the space we have got at BP. We could probably get another three thousand seats in.

Quoted from Heisenberg


Did you go to the Tottenham game a few years earlier when Lineker played? I remember that being 17,000. Incredible to think that, really.


I went to that, biggest crowd I've been part of! At BP anyway.

The only game that comes close for me was the Exeter promotion game c1990, which is the only game I can remember being in the Osmond


First game: 7/5/88 Aldershot (h) 1-1 (R)

Quoted from crusty ole pie
Been present on 3 occasions when crowds exceeded 20,000 Norwich Exeter and Everton  oh what nights all under the lights it’s hard to imagine that gates of 32000 was crammed in


Those were the days, a good team and an excellent atmosphere. It was said in that era the crowd always made 1 goal, it wasn't a matter of will we win, but how many will we score. I feel sorry for today's fans who can only witness it on Google or YouTube. It was pleasure to be there.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I seem to remember being in BP for, I believe an FA Cup match against Burnley with a gate of 22,000, could be wrong though, memory not good at 77 years old.

I remember as a young lad going to BP to watch two league games  when the
attendances were over 25,000.

They were in successive seasons, one against Stoke City and the other Blackpool.

The attraction for both games was one Stanley Matthews. In at least one of the games
whilst he was down in the programme as playing we only found out later that he had been
injured all week and wasn't ever going to appear. The Club made a few quid out of that.

Did we play Chelsea at home?  Lost 1-0?  Not sure how many was there.  Went to the Everton game.  Had to stand on a milk crate.

I remember being at BP for those 2 massive attendances v Exeter and Everton.

Every time the ball went anywhere near our goal, the whole crowd would surge forwards and when we scored you'd end up yards away from where you'd been standing next to people you'd never seen before.

I had forgotten about those surges forward . In the back of the Pontoon when we scored you would end up half a dozen rows below where you started hoping the people in front of you didn’t go to ground  or you would go over to into a heap. A different world

Not a problem landing in a heap as an 18 year old, if it happened now I would end up in traction for 6 months!

Never recall seats in the pontoon certainly in the back of the main and a seating section in the osmand but can’t recall seats in the pontoon


I must be going mad then. I could’ve sworn there was when I first started going in the pontoon 89/90 season
