What's the record home crowd for a 3rd Division/League1 game? I reckon that if the message got through to the missing thousands we'd see in excess of 15,000, the football is so good and we have a manager to get genuinely excited about.
Hillsborough still holds the record for the highest attendance for a third tier football match. 49,309 spectators turned up on 26 December 1979, when the Owls beat Sheffield United 4–0 in a top of the table clash.
Leeds in recent times when 38,256 was there biggest in League 1 in 07/08
They also got 38,234 in 09/10 the year they won promtion from League 1
The way we are playing I wouldn't be surprised,it would be good to have a record crowdWould be good if we can get a record crowd for the Ricoh in a league match, in the third tier!
It's more than Highfield Rd held as well - as an all seater stadium. I know the numbers being mentioned are official records, but they're not really comparable.City had 36,901 at Highfield Road for the final game of the 63/64 season so the club record is safe as that's more than the Ricoh holds (except for Jehovah's Witness conferences).
Was at Villa Park early 70s with over 55000 on.Would be good if we can get a record crowd for the Ricoh in a league match, in the third tier!
