There were hardly any of them left in the ground with about 10 mins to go, as they'd all legged it to their cars/coaches/special train early.

A fantastic 2-0 win for Jimmy Andrew's Cardiff City on our way to promotion (we finished second to a great Hereford team of that era) with goals from Doug Livermore and one of my all-time favourite Alan Campbell
Remember it like it was yesterday but they stuffed us in the away game 4-1 at The Cow Shed

I though they had half the Bob bank with the late great Jeff Richards keeping the sides apart on his own at times. I cant remember the numbers but thought t was loads. They had about 4 special trains.
it was thousands mate and yes 4 trains all of which were attacked both from Cardiff who had chassed them down slopper rd and Cardiff who had jumped the bob bank wall on to the railway lines.

I'm sure the cup game against Everton in 77 was well over 30k.
Just checked a programme for the Chelsea home game from that season and the attendance was 35,582 for the Everton Cup Match in February 1977.
I was there, great match, so biggest League crowd Gary
About 10,000 of them were Everton fans though.

They had half the Bob Bank
They were housed in a purpose built enclosure from scaffold tubes at the canton end of the bob bank . Two thousand fans is what they brought and as others have stated had a torrid time all match and were pretty much all gone with 15 minutes left. Someone put a brick through Albert lamours front room window of his house that night because of his back pass which gave Everton the winning goal

There's thousands in the Upper Ninian that they're holding back. They will be released as the day goes on so I cant imagine anyone who turns up not getting in.
