Apologies if people are aware already but I came across this page on FB. Some absolute belters of images, recent & not so recent.
Take a look.

Yeah, thanks for the link Mr W. Some great memory joggers in there.
The sad realisation is I’ve forgotten more than I remember these days with the playing decline of the last dozen years clouding things.
It’s good to look back and shake away the funk and think of where we’re come from and where we’re now focused on heading back to.
Future so bright we’ve gotta wear shades.

Looking at some of those old crowds I’m still convinced (is anyone else?) we guesstimated the crowds. Bar from the hooligan era we had top attendances,
I recall being in the Kop at some games & it was pretty chocca, as were the other three sides & the PA would announce, to chants of “the taxmans going to get ya” something like 9,500 when it felt more like 13k or 15k.
As a side note anyone know what the capacity of the Kop was, I heard it was around 13k but I’ve no evidence for that.

The highest official attendance with the Kop as it is now was 29,300 for the Wales v USSR 1981 World Cup qualifier.

A quick estimate of the capacity of the old Mold Road stand (5,000) , the Border Stand as it was (4,000) and the Yale stand (5,000), take those away leaves circa 15,000 on the Kop that day which is quite staggering when you factor in the total attendance against Boston in 2007 (13,000) plus 2,000 would have been on the Kop that day against the USSR

Out of curiosity, was any RP poster on the Kop against the USSR ? Must have been beyond heaving

I was, can't remember anything of the game, but do remember the shirt I was wearing - a red and white hooped rugby shirt. Isn't it bizarre the things you can remember?
