The two biggest league grounds Notts have played in

[upthemaggies]

So we've got a top 5 now of

1. Ground A - 120,000 (one source does say 100,00)
2. Villa Park - 104,000
3, Stamford Bridge - 100,000
4. White City Stadium - 93,000
5. Probably Main Road.

I reckon that's the White City Stadium. If so, we played QPR there in 1962/63 (won 1-0). I think it was also used in the 1966 World Cup.

I missed the game because I wasn't born until about 6 weeks later. Poor excuse I know.

Stab in the dark..Kennington Oval?

West Ham Stadium is the ground with the 120,000 capacity. Notts played the last game of the season there on 2nd May 1931.

The opponents? Thames AFC! Who? Thames AFC, who were only in the Football League for two seasons.

Against Luton in December 1930 they had an attendance of 469!!! Imagine that in a stadium that size.

Our ex-Chairman Ray Trew might have been there, being a QPR fan and aged 7 at the time.

It's a bizarre story, they'd played there for two season in the 1930s but then returned to Loftus Road, so lord knows why they thought it would be a good idea to try again, which lasted from that game in October until the end of that same season.


Ground A might just be the greatest paradox in football history.

Yes, that's the one. just under 4k when we played there. Already crowed champions on the day we lost at Walsall.

Ground A Charlton athletic

At its' maximum, 75,000 capacity, impressive but not enough to make our top 5, nor probably the top 10.

I did try to find out the capacity for Crystal Palace's former ground, I have a feeling that might have been on the large side but couldn't find anything.

I'm sure I read in one of the historical books that we played at Hampden Park in the very early days of our existence.

Notts played there in 1875, lost 6-0 to Queens Park. Highest attendance at HP was kust over 149,000 in 1937
