The official gate was 1267 which was either down to Diane Abbott doing the counting or a bit of creative accounting considering that the gate receipts are shared!
In the sixties at The Hawthorns you could be shoulder to shoulder some games and they would announce the attendance as something like 17,000 and the crowd would laugh at the ridiculousness of that figure. Then the next time you went there could be an announcement of 50,000 as when we played Man Utd in 1968.
