eccles the ram Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 20th September 1969 5 - 0 Against Spurs. Derby's record home attendance. I was there and then saw it on ATV on Sunday with Hugh Johns commentating. What memories! Anyone else there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an occasion but in those days we always expected to win didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Sure was. On an Orange crate in the Normanton End with my Dad. Always remember getting swept off my crate when we scored as the crowd moved. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I thought this was a new formation. Very strong midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yes I was there on the Ossie end corner. A bloke behind me had a pee and it ran down all the steps. I was a mere 22. Just a stripling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'll be back in 81 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The population of Derby then was approximately 150 thousand and now it is nearer 250 thousand so no reason why we could not get a bigger attendance if Pride Park was extended around the horseshoe.

i-Ram Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I watched on the Sunday. I would have celebrated victory with a crate of Davenports, but aged 8 there were some difficulties on agreeing payment arrangements. Settled for a Vimto instead in my Grandad’s half pint tankard.

Maxwell Baxter Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Last Friday in Scottyland ITC v HMFC sold over 10,000 signed virtual tickets at £10 for a stadium that holds 7,500. Marine v Tottenham in the FA cup did the same hitting something over 30,000. Maybe this could be a way for Derby to break the attendance record albeit virtually by picking one game for fans to buy signed tickets for. If nothing else it will give the club or a charity some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a day! i was very young and the box I used to take to stand on got crushed when about five blokes also stood on it to get a better view. Luckily we were behind one of the barriers, but could have been worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwell Baxter Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is really spooky, but if you take 41826 and subtract it by the capacity of Pride Park (33597) you get 8229 which must mean that the takeover will be completed on the 8th of February 2029. Unless the Americans buy us then it will be August the 2nd 2029. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It was my first ever match, watched from the half-way line in the Popside. Thank You Eddie Sewter for taking me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was 6, and didn't start my DCFC supporting career for another 6 years, so no, I wasn't there. However, despite being famed within my family for not having the best memory, the very fact that 41, 826 is The Rams' highest ever attendance has stayed within my brain for well over 4 decades (probably nearer to 5?). I knew the number, and knew it was v Spurs (though I didn't know the date or remember the season!) Had you put a comma in the title, and set this as a quiz, I'd like to think that I could quite possibly have won... without even Googling it! ...

Think if we became an established Premier League club, we would beat this, our fan base is strong considering the size of the city. In the 11 point season, we sold out every match.

So many reasons that it would never be the case..... mainly that we are rubbish, playing teams like Wycombe and Barnsley on a regular basis, there is no money to extend the stadium, there are no fans at all and there probably wont be at capacity for the rest of the year, we never fill it anyway, no one has any money etc etc etc But aside from that, great idea!

Yeah, being realistic is hillarious.... since 1889 we have only ever ONCE had an attendance over 40 thousand....that is once in over 130 years...once... im not stat genius but I would think those number suggest that it isnt very likely to happen again...wouldnt you?
