    You know every single crowd number from 1901 to 1997? I'm impressed. I started going in the 60s and remember over 20K. Here's an excerpt from the early 70s. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest. http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Albion-3.htm

    It appears Alex White doesn't even know his own club's history. Perhaps he likes prawn sarnies.
