lake district canary 4,531 Posted May 20, 2015 When was the last time we had a match where there were nigh on 39,000 Norwich supporters in one ground at the same time? Can''t remember what we had in Cardiff, 35,000, I think. In standing days, I can remember 32,000 in Carrow Rd, but that would have included some away supporters - so to get nearly 40,000 Norwich fans in one stadium must be getting up there in overall terms.....

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,738 Posted May 20, 2015 The "unofficial" gate for the ''85 Milk cup final was 100,000.....from my memory of the day it was a 50/50 ish (maybe 55/45 in favour of Sunderland) split? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted May 20, 2015 Our record 44,000 crowd v Leicester would have probably included c.40,000 City fans. I don''t know if that can be confirmed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,513 Posted May 20, 2015 My first game at Carra the attendance was 42,000 but there were a lot of Sheff Weds fans in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had about half the South Stand in terracing and presumably just a few seats in the Main Stand too. I expect there was a similar split for the Leicester FA Cup game a few years earlier.

There was no segregation and no trouble at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,513 Posted May 20, 2015 I took a 6 year old Duncan and we were in seats shared with Sunderland supporters. At the end of the game the Mackem in front wanted to swap scarves but young Dunc was having none of it. So he just gave him his scarf saying "you won this today son"!Then we didn''t get to take our place in Europe because we were hooligans apparently. Fanks Fatcha ....

In 75, tickets were given around to all clubs so the split must have been different - to get mine as a student in London, I had to ride on my trusty moped, to Reading FC, to get one of the last remaining tickets.

The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted May 20, 2015 I''m pretty sure Daly would be able to answer this question accurately, seeing as though he''s been to every Norwich game- home and away - for 75 years.Hopefully he''ll be along soon to clear this whole thread up.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunderland got more as they had bigger League attendances. Quite a lot went to the Football League and various other affiliated bodiesWe''re getting far more this time - almost 40,000 - and the stadium holds only 90,000 so things have improved on numbers available at least.
