If it’s Everton, I’d like it to be 1980 all over again
I doubt we will take 20,000 though, like in 1980.
Everton’s biggest post war attendance for a game other than a Merseyside derby, it was, I believe.[/quote]
Is this true, must have been some bandwagon jumpers on board, probably only averaging about 3000 then.[/quote]
Tis true Lowey the lasting memory from that game for me was that it seemed every Latics fan there that day had bought flags on sticks only for the Scoucers to ban the ruddy sticks.All that money spent by our loyal fans only for some bureacratic loony to make us take the very thing away you was supposed to bloody wave.Huge piles of sticks outside the turnstiles tho :lol: :lol: Oh and the advertising board in the Park end fell off and nearly crowned us :cheer:

Not true that, I’m afraid Dave.
Everton v Wigan was 51,863.
Just a very quick look at a couple of games I went to at Goodison shows
Everton v Leeds 1969 – 53,253
Everton v Man U 1971 – 52,151
and I only went infrequently to Goodison. Remember too that in the 50s and 60s the capacity of Goodison was bigger too.

It was actually Evertons record gate receipt until the Mersey derby a few week later.

Of course, George, I thought about this last night but was away from the computer. Maybe it was biggest in 80’s apart from derby? I don’t know.
Didn’t England’s first defeat on home soil come at Goodison against Eire? Wasn’t it in something like 1949? Might of been ’47.
