You have to say the Arsenal crowd of 4,554 on 5 May 1966 against Leeds is a shocking statistic for a top flight game..

Yeah, remember that game well, I think United won the league that game, there was just no way of stopping them back then, God knows what time they used to turn up, must have been well before the gates opened.

Hi, newbie....is that the trinity killer one ?....if so, its the best ever !

Looks like a bunch of spivs and touts hanging around on the corner there. Great pictures of the days when we had no fans.

It's fine for kids, great view, decent atmosphere

Haha, yes, what was I thinking ?In fact this might be the game that attracted a paltry 63,000 or so.

Be a great idea, I hear Eccles bald as a coot these days, but I bet he's still got that Harrington !

Welcome to the Bridge mate, hope you both have a great time

Hey mate, just wanted to thank you for an astounding piece of work, truly exceptional, thanks

I can't put my finger on a figure , but from that excellent render it looks horribly like the Emirates design with the corporates splitting the stadium in half with a disastrous effect on atmosphere.With ffp looking like it will not last, and the massive increase in TV revenue, do we really need to cater for the non fans ? I am honestly not looking forward to this, the Battersea design was miles ahead of this

Either this game, or the year before had a gate of.....70,000 !

Of course we should be grateful to Roman for all he has doneHowever, the upheaval etc for just 7,000 extra ordinary seats is not worth the hassle. I actually DO care that we are rebuilding our stadium to accommodate people who are probably not real Chelsea fans, just along for the experience, which won't be very good anyway if we have a ring of empty seats around the stadium after half time. We have got to learn from Arsenals mistake, there is no need to have so many corporate in the new stadium. I honestly would rather we didn't rebuild.

Love that royal blue kit, the shirts are too light these days, see JT in the avatar

They had a tasty mob in the Sixties, lot older than us.

United in the Sixties used to swamp the Shed with sheer weight of numbers and getting in as soon as gates opened. One year we had to stand under the old north stand, another year about 50 of us stood at end of shed near Bovril entrance. The whole of the Shed was United

Brilliant pictures and links on this site. Can anyone tell me how to post pictures via a hudl device ?....cheers
