I think the last biggies were 19,000(?) for Spurs in 91, about 15,000 for Newcastle at the end of 92-93, and Villa c 94 (14,000?)


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.

Villa was over 15,000. I looked it up earlier. My only experience of watching the game from the Pontoon in a really big crowd and I remember I was sweltering even though it was a cold day. I'd also had a rather heavy late night beforehand so it wasnt exactly what the doctor ordered! A quiet seat and a nap might have been better. I seem to think that Rodger was sent off for scrapping with Shaun Teale?

You're right on the crowd Maringer. 15771 according to this clip. But it was Livvo sent off (5:40 in).

Great game. One of the best Town goals at BP.

Quoted from Abdul19


And Mooney scored his obligatory goal  . To be fair, we played pretty well and their loan keeper (Andy Longergan I think?) made 3 or 4 really good saves. The temporary seating was put in for the infamous Newcastle match a couple of weeks later; I'm guessing there was a stub deal going on, hence the big crowd for the Wycombe match.


Ah yes. Always scored against us. He must have been rubbing his hands when it was Grimsby time!
