The Arsenal game was 39,000 ish, the West Brom game 42,000 ish and there was a Fulham cup game at 44,000 ish.
They were the highest gates I’ve been in at FP.
I think the attendance for Fulham was understated (not unknown in those days ), the capacity was 46,000 and there was not a square inch spare inside the ground, Frogmore Road was packed to the end with people unable to get in.
Great days of the terraces.
Sat in the south stand that night with my dad, the crush going down Frogmore rd that night after the game,im not sure my feet touched the ground
