The attendance at St.James's Park last weekend when we played Newcastle. Was that the biggest attendance for a league match involving the Albion?

I know we've had bigger crowds for cup games and play-off finals, but I'm racking my brains to think of a larger gathering in a league fixture, even in our old First Division days. Anyone know?

I would imagine that a league match at Manchester United is the only circumstance in which that figure would be eclipsed.

We laughed when they announced that figure.
It was a classic Amex style pretendance figure.
Not a chance there were less than 2000 empty seats.

52641 Old Trafford 1979 followed by 48613 White Hart Lane in 1977.

I went to both of those games. United went top of the league after beating us 2-0. The spurs game won't be forgotten for other reasons..

Is there a list of the top 20 anywhere?
