I give up.

You talked about 95% at Leicester, and I chucked in MK.

You came back with some random shit about Darlington.

You then show some Leicester stats showing 32k against DirtyLeeds and lower home crowds against lesser oposition. For your incredulous '95%' comment to work, then in our crowd of 21k, it would mean only around 1k Leicester fans in the ground. Oddly, they then managed over 8k in home games against Port Vale, Plymouth, Oldham and Barnsley, which surely suggest that you are talking absolute tripe.

For some strange reason you seem surprised……

If we were given the choice of a result we could overturn à la Morocco v Senegal (the more trivial the better), it would be this one. We lost 2-1, but there was a goalmouth scramble at the Kop end where, from my position in the EDS pen, I could clearly see the ball was over the line when Mark Wallington grabbed at it and scrambled it back. No goal was given and I was furious. Two days later, I was still re-running it in my head and making myself angry again, even as I was sitting in the dining hall at school struggling to eat my cheese pie.

When we got there with the football special the ground was already packed & word had gone around the police were closing the turnstiles . Loads and mean loads got in over the perimeter wall . I was sat on the pitch next to the goal post .
The ground capacity at the time at Feethams was 21k so Christ knows what actual crowd was that day but it definitely wasn’t the the recorded 11k !! .
A few years later I was working with a Darlington fan & got talking about the day , he said they never seen anything like it ,the biggest attendance he’d seen in there was 14k when they played Everton in League Cup & the ground was nowhere near as packed as our visit , there was even a large piece about it in The Northern Echo which I posted on here to mark its anniversary called the day Sheffield invaded Darlington .
At the time also Darlington were in big danger of folding , I remember Reg Brearley donating the gate receipts from our home game to them a gesture of support so I think the crowd was definitely under reported for the taxman to , i know you’ll never see scenes like that again … and what a day it was ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Interesting thought. If I could change one result it would be the defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1994. With the arrival of Blake and greater Sky money a fifth season could have been critical.
 
Does anyone have a photo of a pitch invasion against Cardiff at home(late seventies i think) ,it was on the back of one of the Sunday Papers.
I was a young psycho sexy then and was one of the first ones onto the pitch got into a lot of trouble at home👮‍♂️
