Collymore ran riot) would have been last last biggest "recent" league attendance..? Good call. 21,000 that day I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had more at Eastville (for example, in '83 it was 6k in the near 15k crowd) years ago, than the 5300 WBA gave us in January, before restrictions (and fire) limited capacity on the Muller and the rest of E'ville. I think it was 7.5k for Liverpool and 8.5 for Forrest in the FA cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 To all those quoting Anfield etc at me, I have looked up on Google and it confirms what I have stated. The Hawthorns is the ground that is the highest above sea level in the country, therefore our highest attendance was at WBA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Our lowest attendance was at Grimsby. Bristol Rovers get higher attendances than Bristol City by 161 feet (most of that accounted for by Muller Road). Ashton Gate is one of the lowest grounds in the country being just 29 feet above sea level, though we will be visiting one of the few who are lower still at Carrow Road tomorrow. Canvey Island has the only ground of any decent standing, that is below sea level in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game as well and also saw George score six against Northampton in the FA cup. As for the turnstiles you had to know Bill from Windmill Hill or Mick from the Malago.

Was rare for them, all ticket game!!! They had big crowds for cup games v Southampton in Jan 78 and Ipswich in the fifth round in the snow in Feb. The Southampton game was 20k if memory serves, their last crowd of five figures beginning with a "2" I think I can say with confidence (38 years ago). I know I'm missing HandsofClay's subtle point - - but I've got me teeth into this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think City have ever, officially, played at altitude though with the ball doing funny things without being kicked by Lee Tomlin. Although, I guess, if Tomlin played at altitude then the ball would be doing funny things except when he kicked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 It will be great to see Ashton Gate with over 20,000 supporters in the ground again. It's been too long since the ground has been able to comfortably hold that many. Hopefully over the next few years we'll see plenty more 20,000-plus crowds.

We cannot beat the Chelsea attendance because of the limitations on Lansdown stand capacity and segregation in Atyeo at least for Newcastle. If we shifted people out of the Atyeo, Villa would bring 4400 but seems they will be limited to 2500 . My guess, Newcastle 21,000 , Villa 22,000 (depends if Villa fans can get more than 2500 ) If it's any help in your calculations NUFC were allocated 2500 tickets which sold out pretty much straight away and then have bizarrely been allocated another 30 tickets (!!) today which have also sold out straight away.
