I'm guessing a thousand odd but have no idea what the capacity ever was. Away section was the terrace far 30% that you can see in the picture. At the time the ground capacity was ~25000, so I estimate that full terrace held about 5000, so therefore we had about 1500 there. Back in those days they just squeezed in as many as they could though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarr_in_z Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Junior's goal 5' 10" (that's 5 minutes 10 seconds, not his height) The crowd scenes of us after that seem to show that it wasn't that packed. Maybe ~1000 there after all. I'd forgotten that Derby had the keeper sent off & a stand in went in. Hilarious game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jumping up and down when we equalise, I think what made it so. Good was the fact that we all thought we would get massacred after ten minutes..

Good was the fact that we all thought we would get massacred after ten minutes.. Sticks in my mind as one of the best away days. The stoning afterwards not so good though! A friend of mine watched on tv (then free on terrestrial) and said one of best games he'd seen. Went there possibly year before for midweek game with a mate. Booked on morning for CATS coach. Crowd 11113. Always wondered if crowd would have been announced as 11111 if we hadn't gone or if figure plucked from air. Shows how attendances have changed as Derby were one of few clubs in that league getting five figures. Think maybe game we lost 2.0 but sang all way through and possibly Alan Walsh had bucket of water chucked over him by Derby player (sponge and all).... Great draw last night. We have a really good team here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
