But there were more than 3000 Chelsea fans?I thought we sold out against Chelsea in the FA Cup:facepalm:
I reckon you could be right there.35568 - but how many would West Ham have brought counting towards that total? Any ideas?That West Ham game early '80's?
They usually come mob-handed and brought 6000 last season. I can't remember how the ground was segregated in '81, but I bet they had a similar following.maybe 4-6 thousand?How many west ham fans at the lc semi in 81? Crowd was 35k.

Must've been great. I can remember a few games around the 30k mark, but it always seemed like there were loads of away fans too. Late 70's and early 80's games vs the Vile or West Brom for example.I remember the first ever game we played on a sunday over 40,000 at HR v Derby in the Fa Cup 0-0 around 1974 must have been 37,000 city fans there

I was in the kop that day against Forest who had about half the terrace. The one time i remember the Kop being given over 100% to away fans was for a visit of Manchester United when Tommy Docherty was their boss, early 70s i would say.Are you sure you're not thinking of the game against Forest when they had to draw in order to win the league. That is the only time I know of when the whole of the Spion Kop was officially given over to away fans.
