And the fact you could count how few fans we had there on TV.

 

 

sh*t yeah, it wasn't many was it ?....they had loads at the Bridge, mind you, they didn't have far to travel!

We had 279 there, about 200 were old skool thugs lol!

 

They had the east lower cant remember if it was one or two sides, & also had about 500 in the west lower in one block, sold officially to England/London turks.

Now that's a proper flag, good post Carshalton.

Cheers mate & a not so chubby Chris in the photo as well.

they moved loads of Turks from around the west stand so they were together. Think that was the game when one ran on the pitch and wise tackled him...got a feeling the west stand was a temporary stand,or was I hallucinating?

No idea mate. The west is packed as you say.

Just checked again and the whole of the Bridge looks packed out.

knowing Chelsea from the old days of playing guess the crowd, I bet it was advertised as 25,000!! Tax dodge or gate men on the fiddle!

Carlshalton I for one hope you get your laptop sorted re the pics some of them are brilliant  regards getting them posted on here ,this is my favourite thread love looking at the old photos and pics especially an old fart like myself....

Richard: 35,000 youngsters 'got a lift over the turnstile'.

 

It was a tradition up here in Scotland for kids to get free entry to a match (before all seated stadiums) until you were about 12 years old.

Haha, that could be right...remember dads taking their kids thru the turnstile saying 'room for a little in' as the kid squeezed in with them. Blimey, some of our crowds must have been massive if they were added in.
