Adam1867 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 That day at Cardiff 59,808 in attendance. An extra 30,000 people will be in Wembley. Will this be the biggest crowd Wednesday have ever played in front of? I'm so excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 What about 1896 and 1907 at the old crystal palace. 1935 final at Wembley. 1960 tour in Russia? Someone check complete record book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks Kivo. Knew you would have the figures. Are we having a new history book for 2017…? I know one was planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Where did you get the figures from kivo? Not doubting them. It's just that I was at the 1966 cup final and was completely unaware it was our largest ever crowd. I've been in 5 of those top ten all time crowds.

SXOwl Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 66,945 vs. Arsenal, FA Cup (2/3/1935) 65,345 vs. Arsenal, Division 1 (2/1/1933) 4. 4,810 vs. Bolton Wanderers, Division 1 (29/4/1933) 5. 5,102 vs. Blackburn Rovers, Division 1 (25/4/1931) 6. 5,141 vs. Derby County, Division 1 (20/4/1931) 7. 5,182 vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Division 1 (10/3/1934) Blimey, so in the 30's we were getting 66,000 for cup games but only 4,800 for league games. I'm guessing by March and April the league had been decided and nobody bothered turning up? No Champion's League, Europa league etc to play for...
