The facts are that the official united attendance that night was 1700.
Dundee had a bigger home allocation than usual as they got sections A, B and C of the stand made of pallets that we normally get allocated so this gave them roughly 1200 more than usual taking them to roughly 8400 thus proving we sold roughly 1700 out of the roughly 3000 allocated in the Shankly.
These are the facts give or take a handful of seats here or there.
So Dundee had their night and for most it was the biggest night in their history, I hope they enjoy looking back on it as it's as good as it gets for them.
Cheerio and don't come back, total fruitcake club and always will be.
I am a united fan and, was in the shankly that night, Dundee had sections A, B and C of the main stand, we (united) were only allocated the Shankly, if you were in the main stand you did not get your ticket from united, I don't see why loads of united fans would be in main stand when loads of tickets were available in the shankly.
The figures were the ones quoted in the tele and courier as united selling 1700, I would say that was right judging by the number of fans in the shankly on the night.
I suppose I could go search the Internet to back this up but I can 100% state that us (united) were not allocated the main stand sections A, B and C as we usually are.
It's all water under the bridge and I'm not trying to start a keyboard dispute.
Maybe anyone else there on the night can confirm we did not have the main stand sections.
The Shankly holds 3k and has 5 "sections", we filled 3 of them (apart from the few bottom rows) and had a lot in the 4th
At the time of the game word was 1900 sold by the day of the game
All irrelevant of course, we were doon by the night and it was getting confirm in the just few days whether at dens or not, needed a win to avoid confirmation, in the same circumstances they'd not reach four figures at Tannadice
Fek off with your trolling pish Funster.
