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.

About 10,000 of them were Everton fans though.

I can't remember a higher league attendance than that Hereford match Annis and I hope tomorrow is as good a game.

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

If everyone can turn out tomorrow night, they can turn out much more often

I was there for both games too Sven.I remember Dixie Mc Neil embarrassing a hapless Mike England on the night and he was about fekin 60 even then. I think Alan Cambell scored with a header which was unheard of for him.That Hereford side also included Terry Paine who at the time held the record for the most league games played.Happy days.

True, the Everton supporters got moved around a hell of a lot that day

I was at both matches. I am not sure where the 10,000 Everton fans were. They were given the enclosure section next to the Grange end and there were no more than 1,500 in there. Even after all these years I can remember being really surprised at how few of them there were. Game was due to be on Match of the Day, (our 3rd and 4th round ties against Spurs and Wrexham had been televised) but this being the seventies the BBC were on strike. Funny how I can remember so much of this but I cant remember what I did yesterday!epping blue wrote:Forever Blue wrote:castleblue wrote:epping blue wrote:Eddie ccfc wrote:Looking at the e ticketing map of the stadium now and seeing the lower bowl is virtually red sold out surely we will get 30,000+ now as its 28,000 without the new stand and they started selling those this morning and we still got the rest of today and tomorrow and the walk up crowd to go, this is looking like our highest home attendance since Hereford in 1976 att:35,549

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.
