The huge crowd that turned out for this 4th Round tie that night did so in hopeful expectation of a third giant-killing, as top flight WBA and Ipswich had aready been dispatched. This run captured the imagination of Sussex and most of us thought we could actually win this trophy; after all, the feat had been acheived by Third Division clubs no less than twice in the previous ten years. I think the police might have had a clampdown on touts because as I walked up Goldstone Lane, I observed officers offering tickets to children. I was unable to take up my usual place on the North Stand because it was so crammed, and ended up on the terrace in front of the West Stand, although views were difficult even there.
I can't find the thread from a few years back listing the top ten attendances in GG history but I don't think it was since bettered. I'm sure somebody will put a link to it on here.
