yeah i was at that crawley v weymouth, !st against 2nd, remember claridge up front for weymouth, socks round his ankles covering every blade of grass, always had a lot of time for him.
My recollection is that to buy a ticket for the big league Cup tie (v Derby or West Brom) you had to buy them from the turnstile at a preceding reserve game, which meant that about 15-16,000 turned up for a reserve game!!!! Don't know how many people actually went into the ground and saw the game rather than just buy a ticket and bugger off
Think that was against Charlton Athletic 76/77. The cup tie may have been against Derby County.

Wimbledon v Leeds 45,000![]()
Well that was crystal clear from the thread title.
Was this the famous Dicky Guy (Wimbledon goalie) game. He played a blinder. I don't think Plough Lane could hold more than 20,000+/-.
I've got a feeling that the first game (FA Cup) was at Elland Road and the replay at Plough Lane or vice versa.
I seem to remember Blyth Spartans used St. James's Park (Newcastle) on their cup run and pulled in about 56,000, in the 1970s.
