Andy b Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Never topped 20knon the pinch me season. got a small allocation for the first OT league game in the top flight so the 8k must have been the cup game. biggest since the prem days was prob Wigan away in 2002/03 I recall.

BP1960 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I was at York City in the 1970s in what I think was their record l attendance of around 14,000. At one stage I thought we were going to miss the kick off and a mate shouted to the gateman "Open the gates man - we'll throw the money at you as we go past".

yarddog73 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The season we went up we played Barnsley away and that end must of had 5k in it, we had seats round the side as well mostly filled by Junior Latics fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Think the biggest league game attendance in our top flight days was 18951? against Liverpool in January 92. Thats the biggest Ive been part of at BP. Away attendance for me the 5500 in the FA cup at Goodison in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesidg Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 West Brom at home in 76 last home game of the season West Brom won 1-0 and were promoted to division one crowd was probably around 25,000 with around 15,000 baggies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went down to 17K once the RRE went all seater.

Thought capacity pre chaddy going seated was about 19.5k on the basis we never topped that during the pinch me season. We lost about 2.4k when chaddy went seated but that would have put capacity down to about 17k. Something doesnt add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeah must be. Working it backwards, seating in lookers and main paddocks took us down to 13.5k so we must have been at about 16k post new RRE and upwards of 18k post chaddy seating.

Ryan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Biggest away following I think is the 6,000+ at Liverpool under Dickov. Home crowd would be the Huddersfield game in the FA Cup (2008?) - sold out IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motty was the commentator. Baggies goal scored by Tony Brown who was born in Oldham. I stayed to see jonnie giles bring out the baggies to celebrate in front of main stand.

Yes I recall it was last away game of 73-74 season? and was one all draw. Ian wood was injured and carried off. I saw most of game clinging on from the floodlight pylon in latics end as I was only eleven. You can find it on YouTube as Yorkshire tv televised the game as we were both promoted that season.

stewrat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The liverpool 42000 was made up mainly of Liverpool fans. There was no segregation in those days so we were all together. The Goal that hit the post and bounced down and out was awarded against us by a referee srood in the centre circle. The Linesman also could never have seen if it crossed the line but they gave it anyway. Our dissallowed goal started with Bobby Johnstone as our player furthest foward as we were backs to the wall. He received the ball in our half of the centre circle and kept 2 liverpool players mesmerised. He then looked at Bert Lister who was still in our half and pointed to were he wanted to go. Lister was still inour half when Bobby sent this ballooning ball towards the right corner flag which bent till it was landing on the left side of the penalty area and straight on Lister's foot and into the net. We all went wild till the offside flag went up as the linesman obviously could not believe Lister had got so far clear without being offside. The Liverpool fans near me booed the referee of the pitch because they thought they should have beaten us without the incompetent referee.

I was in the RRE with my mate in the middle of a few thousand Scousers. And they were a fantastic bunch. If Bobby Johnstone's shot that hit the bar and bounced in and out (I'm sure it did) had been given, we'd have had a replay. Liverpool got promoted to the old first division that season. Yes a great match when we went toe to toe with a very good Liverpool side , pretty much the one that did so well in Div 1 after it got promoted that year. At the time the Chronicle reported that Latics had sold 30,000 tickets themselves - long before online booking . In my time, and those of others on here (apologies for those who cannot bear talk of the past - but then why are you reading this thread?) , I've seen 20K plus crowds at BP against Peterboro in 60/61, Chestefield and Bristol Rovers in 61/2 ,(both FA Cup replays), Coventry in 63/4 (league), West Ham in 65/6 (FA Cup), Wolves 66/7 (FAC), Burnley 73/4, (FAC), Utd 74/5 (league), WBA 75/6 (league) After that the capacity was cut to less than 20,000.
