I wasn't there, but even with the West Lower being terrace, that must have been absolutely rammed. Chocka-block.
I was at Ipswich 86 and could hardly breathe in the South Bank.

I was there but I still say that the unofficial highest attendance was 6th Round FA Cup V Burnley 1964 !!

I only mentioned Ipswich 86 because it was so rammed, but only about 31,000 (officially) in there.
How you get over 42,000 in there, I'll never know.

Sorry Troy, just checked, it was:
09 Mar 1968 FA Cup 5th round against Sheffield United H 1-2 attendance 38,440 but I'm pretty certain it was much higher than that, I was in the South Bank and could barely see the game, it was almost a Hillsborough situation in there

Some of those old games - sounds like a right tax dodge when the club announce the gate.

Being at a Match in 1970 makes me an old timer ? Was in the West Stand usual seats as a season ticket holder.

Gutted I am too young to have stood on the West bank terrace, looked fucking awesome when packed that did.

The Leeds game in the mid seventies which was a lockout must have been close , i think 42k as well .
That was one of the 2 games I got in when the South Bank doors were kicked in , the other being our 4-0 demolition of Chelski .
