Just found this, not sure if its all correct?

1970 Ground capacities and seat numbers for current Championship clubs & Now in 2017.


I am sure Ninian Park Capacities Ground was not 60,000 in 1970? (5,000 seats was correct in the main Grandstand).
It was in the 1940's/50's & 60's :thumb right:

Our New Cardiff City stadium 33,500 is correct

Isnt ccs capacity 35k but figure quoted is with segregation?

Allan, I thought it was 33,500 at max ? ?

Some interesting figures from 1970. Could the Den actually hold over 44.000? It didn't seem that big in the late70's.

Rick, I dont rem it that big?

Theres a lot of correct figues, but I think some of them are from the 1950's

We had 50,000 when we played Real Madrid in 1971 and you could not move.

Steve,thats why I think the date should say Capacities in 1960

1963 wasnt there over 60k against England and that was conservative estimate?
