I see Arsenal had a massive crowd at Highbury !

Yeah and the mighty Middlesboro had a larger attendance that day than Arsenal.

There's so much brilliant stuff on this forum, it would take me weeks to start at the beginning and work through it all, I might just do that when I retire ! Have a good day mate take care

A win today for us mate. ::ChELSeAFaN::

No problem mate. I just enjoy looking through and posting up pics (and or articles) from our history.

Sometimes I admit, the pics I post are a bit random.

The King, Peter Osgood, got a hat-trick v Sunderland today, 31st Jan 1970. This continued his great goal scoring form of 1969/70.

See we had a crowd 11k more than spurs, seems to be a recurring them on here, baring in mind our crowds in the early part of the century were huge and larger that Spurs and Arsenal, I'm starting to get the impression that it was only the years between the mid 70's and mid 90's where our crowds were lower, and during those years especially the 80's our away support was far larger.
