Sign up here if you seen a 30000 home gate at BHAFC before.

[Icy Gull]

Most of the ones from Palace in 75. Surprised the Ipswich Cup game wasn't that big, the place was rammed with people up on the floodlights and on top of the tea hut in on the East Stand

 

[del strangefish]

Rochdale at the Goldstone. Actually sat on the pitch to avoid being crushed. 1-1

 

[Muzzy]

I must have been. From 76-79 I was a regular with my dad or uncle. I was too young too recall crowd figures but it was always packed out during those times

 

[Boroseagull]

Another 'oldie' signing in to say a resounding yes!

 

[wilko1]

[supaseagull]

[Gazwag]

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

28,800

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Derby County ?

 

[aolstudios]

Villa - 72? was on the Big Match the next day

 

[otk]

I‘m sure there were only three home gates bigger than 30000 at the Goldstone 36, 34 & 32, and I was at the 34 in May 72 aged 10 ....

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

18th february, 1967, vs Chelsea - 35,000 - in the South Stand at the Goldstone.

 

[papajaff]

Many times. Fortunately!

 

[mlg57]

Yup at the Goldstone, a few times when crowds were packed standing in most of the stadium.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Fraid so. Must have been pre 1981....

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Wasn't there a league Cup game or similar vs Wolves in the late '60s, which i seem to remember was a sell-out. I haven't been able to find it.

If these figures are accurate, then today was my tenth Albion game with a 300000 plus crowd.

I always thought my first game was Rochdale in 72 but have just remembered my dad taking me to the Wolves game in 1969. Thanks for the chrono list.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Every 30,000 plus game since 1958 and every promotion team.
