Oh no, sorry, I assumed you meant QPR. I haven't seen the Scottish list.
Right, seen it.
So top of the list was Rangers Celtic, and second on the list was Queens Park Rangers
That’s it, when QPR were a Scottish club. Christ that was hard work
You know my last sentence wasn't made up, right?

So it's not Monkey Tennis. Both players would have to be Monkeys.
Both players? So it wasn't 11 a side?

No real surprises for me, as something like 20 of the 22 are for pre war attendances when it was possible to pack a sardine into a tin on the terraces.

Tennis isn't 11 a side.
Monkey Tennis appears to be.

But only when both sides are monkeys.

Charlton ... I've got a little bit of time for Charlton.
Are the 22 monkeys occupying a standard size tennis court?
Are there restrictions on monkey species here? I can see 11 a side Capuchins working while 22 Howlers could be a dull attritional game and even louder than a women's match.

Cheers. Clicked through the pictures with no problems at all - no fuss, no waiting. Interesting, but no real surprises for me - it's amazing how many people you could cram into a stadium back in the day - and actually, considering the many millions who watched football in that way, the safety record was pretty impressive. Yes, there were occasional disasters (Ibrox, Burnden Park et al), and every death was a tragedy, but the numbers killed was a drop in the ocean compared to the attendances.

It felt like it too.
Sorry, was that not for our game then?
I can't see anything other than Celtic at number 1. I don't listen to Talkshite (after one brief dabble it was....nah....as you were . . . .a bit like cricket, homosexuality, and trying to have a conversation with Looney, as far as I'm concerned). . Boy, if the station is a shit as its website I really have dodged a bullet....
edit - no, all I can find is toolstation. Possibly apt.....

Still haven't seen the list but Charlton was the first club that sprang to my mind. When I was a kid it was regularly mentioned that they had (or had had) the biggest capacity...
edit - with important insights like that, I just had a sudden realization that I'm slowly (or quickly) turning into another BG
So is anyone going to post the list or must I risk clicking on something on that website that takes me to ladyboys in custard?
