Derby County at the Goldstone, October 1976
They closed the gates. Some of us had to climb over the wall

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Yep - as a kid

 

[whitelion]

There was always a doubt on official attendance figures at the Goldstone due to the way the turnstiles were operated as well as fans climbing over the walls.

No different to the current method of tickets sold really. Ultimately attendance figures are flawed.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yes v Charlton at the Goldstone in April 1979....packed in is an understatement!!!

Was this the 7-0 game. I was at this.

 

[studio150]

Yep a few in the 70s and late 60s. Will probably experience the same crowding feeling again on Friday on the return train from Norwood, when all Albion fans will be squashed onto a eight carriage Southern train.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'm in the old gits club.

 

[m20gull]

Yep - Sheff Wednesday

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Was this the 7-0 game. I was at this.

no, there was a 31,000 job 4 days before 33,500 v Blackpool in 1978. the 7-0 was in 83 I doubt there was 12,000 there
