Whatever it is miniscule and shows why we never need to extend the ground. The following season they had over 40,000 against wolves in the FA cup and shortly after that the capacity was reduced and then over the next few years capacity was reduced even more when they put more seats in.I think from memory the capacity was down to about 18,000 by the time the ground closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and then saw it on ATV on Sunday with Hugh Johns commentating. What memories! Anyone else there? Remembering THE GREAT DAVE MACKAY who sadly passed away 6 years today! Legend!

Unless the Americans buy us then it will be August the 2nd 2029. Even more spooky, That figure of 8229 is almost the exact number of fans at the Baseball Ground when only hooligans turned up for a night match v Chelsea in 1983.
