I was watching a few videos of old games from the early 80's on YouTube recently. There's a video of a 2-4 home defeat to Barnsley which no doubt a lot on here will have been there that day. I was just 3 years old in 1982 and it would be another six years before I went to my first game.
Millmoor looked absolutely rammed, and I've never seen the Railway End as full as it looked that day either. So I'm wondering what the capacity was at the time?
There must have been at least 6500 Barnsley fans alone.
I had a Rothmans football book around 1985/86 and I'm almost certain the capacity was listed as 18500.
Who was there that day and can you remember the attendance?
