anyone know why there were huge differences in man utd's highest and lowest attendances in the 1920s and 30s?'"
A guess, but before undersoil heating and modern floodlights, they sometimes had to do stuff like play re-arranged fixtures on a Tuesday afternoon, when most fans would be at work. |

| Quote frepneyboy="frepneyboy"God i hope we dont become the most trophy laden club in the the sport of RL cos the other half of this board who currently dont hate us will hate us, there will be bun fights about a crowd of 6k against Leigh at the KC, the 600 crowd at Boulevard. The ever reducing KC crowds. The price of a pint and probably how rubbish Sterlo was cos his pocket doesnt have any winners medals in it.
Get a grip people.'"
Its an English thing mate, anyone successful has to be knocked down, Phil Taylor currently, Steve Davis in the past, sure you could think of some more. |

The mighty Reds have been getting 60k+ gate for as long as I can remember and I'm 50.
As explained the drop in attendances in the early 90's was down to groundworks not lack of demand.'"

See the link.
I picked one season at random from the 1980's.
gates range from 33k-56k
There were no 60k+ gates in the 1980's at old Trafford  |

This thread must be one of the most boring for days!
......Manchester City's average at Maine Road in 1956 was just over 32,000.
Nice to think that Hull FC v Halifax in the 1956 Championship Final drew a crowd of over 60,000.

Anyone else there ?

I was there at the opposite end from where Hutton kicked the winning goal and was on the pitch as soon as the match finished. This started a great run for Hull as the team was Championship runners up in season 56/57,won it again in 57/58, followed by Wembley in 58/59 and 59/60. Went to all these matches.
I have only seen Man United play once in England - in 1962 against Benfica under lights in a friendly. There was a full stadium but cannot remember the attendance. Last July I went to see them play a friendly in Sydney which drew a full house of around 84,000. A couple of days before this game 10,000 paid to watch them train! |

Was a shame, it was a very good game maybe a draw would have been fair. But man utd always seemed to have the edge. I realy think the can go on & win the league. |

Yes, I too saw all of those FC games. I was 14 when we played at Maine Road and had to watch the first few minutes on TV in someone's house as my dad had fallen and hurt his ankle. Like a good Hessle Roader, he limped to the ground and we were able to enjoy one of our club's finest days. |
