steviestevieneville Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Dolma A block , I thought after we scored the wall at the open end was going to come down with how mental they were going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Q. I'm guessing than it must have been when we were in the top flight between 1976 and 1980 unless we had more v Rovers in a league match in the 80s.

robofwells Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Bit embarrassing when they announced at the end is was the biggest gate for 26yrs (it is good for us) the Newcastle fans were laughing their socks off considering they get 52000.

ralphindevon Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 In the east end and to cap it off, a spot on MOTD in the days when we were rarely on tv and they only showed 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We`d drawn at home and up there in the first one and lost the toss for venue in the second. I`ve got a feeling they went to Man Utd in the next round too.

Jack Dawe Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 There were more of us - City fans - at AG yesterday than there were at the Chelsea game in 1990. Chelsea had 6k using all of the Park End, so only 18,500 City fans. For the Rovers game in 89, they brought about 4000, so approx 19k of us at that game. There were about 24k City fans at AG in a 28k (I believe that was a 30k sell out but due to torrential rain and live tv coverage kept about 1k at home) crowd v Forest in the LC semi in 89, but I reckon that yesterday was the most City fans at a league game here since Liverpool, March 1980 (27k crowd). 20,000 of us in a 22,500 crowd. Not bad going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
