The games in 98 were both 60k plus so probably the biggest crowds anyone posting on here will have seen Town play in front of.

Wembley aside, I think to the best of my knowledge the only time I’ve seen us in front of more than 40k is Sunderland in 98. How far back would you have to go for a bigger gate involving Town than that?


What was the gate when we lost 5-0 at Liverpool in 1980, about 50,000 IIRC. It was that long ago though that my memory might be addled a bit!

So for those born in the 90's I would guess Liverpool away 2001 will be the highest attended Town game other than Wembley

Liverpool away 2001 - 32,672

So this game at Chelsea will comfortably top that!!

and then recently we've had Wembley + Cardiff

Brovers 2015 - 47,029
Wrexham 2013 - 35,266
MK 2008 - 56,618

Cheltenham - 2006 - 29,196

Yep, 49,706 apparently. January 1980 so very nearly 40 years ago. Suspect there will be a fair few on here, myself included, that were a mere twinkle in our father’s eyes back then.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

"23.2 In all Cup Competition matches, the Visiting Club shall have the right to claim 10 per cent of all tickets reserved or otherwise sold in advance (any variation to that figure shall be subject to the consent of the Management Committee" - from the EFL.

Which seems to vary slightly due to configuration of stadium.

An example with statement from Chelsea for a past game versus Arsenal: "For matches in the Carabao Cup competition, it is standard for visiting supporters to be given 10 per cent of seating capacity. However due to the configuration of the Emirates Stadium, it is not possible for Arsenal to allocate this full amount for Chelsea fans for our forthcoming semi-final second leg."

Quoted from bedders78


Changed my mind; looking at the school websites, they are asking for appointment cards and suchlike. Might be easier to phone them in sick for the whole day


I've been warning of a virus in North Lincolnshire for weeks. Seems to affect relatives who move away too so must be a vulnerability due to an environmental factor growing up, if it's not hereditary. Kids mustn't go to school with it. But it clears up in a couple of days.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

And somebody said it wasn't very much of a draw and we'd fail to sell out on a week night. 🤨
