A mere 34000. Poovery.

I wasn’t there, but we had 44000+ in for the cup quarter final replay in 67 (3-0 v Hibs).

In 70-71, even with a third of the main stand burnt down, we had 36000 at a hun game (0-0), and the 17 April ‘league decider’ against the tims (FFS Bumper min).

The King Street end became The Paddock (did it ****) in the summer of 71 which reduced the capacity. The first game in front of those benches was the 71 Drybrough Cup final. That was attended by Michael Stipe, according to Watty Feugh, and so impressed was he with the Brush’s opening goal that he went back to Athens, Georgia and named his band after Robb’s Elegant Manoeuvre. A mere 25000 at that one.
