Sure is, costs nothing to go and see Todmorden Borough.

The actual crowed Attendance Beating Celtic and Rangers, was Manchester City, they hold the highest ever in the hole of the Uk 82,000.

The highest in the F A CUP goes to the Bolton. West Ham final when 250,000 supporters broke to the final 1922-23, still the people at Wembley say that isn't true, neither Bolton or West ham can back that up, surprising what a difference newspapers make.

Not sure of the official attendance but when Chelsea played Moscow Dynamo in 1946 reports were that over 100,000 turned up, dose anyone know the official attendance?
Also could this be a record for a friendly match in Britain?

Thank you Tynie I thought after I posted it might be wrong, was I wrong for the English league as well.

See then because of the being sort of becoming a hazard I think the FA decided on more safety arrangement by adding seats and crash barriers were modified in some of the stadiums, when before the wars and after the second all the supporters were standing that's why the attendants figures were so high, Wembley had seats put both eastside and westside grounds began to do the same and thus ending the of big crowd problem.

Also nearly every supporter was able to buy a programme at any match they were likely to attend and had a choice of sitting down or standing, you used to be able to walk around the grounds to the opponents end, this suddenly had a problem because the Hooligan element had started in the seventies on the terraces, then the supporter did not know which way to turn, once they were led in they had to stay where there were put, gone were the days of walking around the grounds at half time.

A question for fans with two clubs in one city or town.Without bias who do you think as the highest support in the place? Just as a guess I would imagine Forest ,get more than County.I should think the Sheffield clubs are pretty equal,as with Bristol too.In London because of higher capacity of the Stadium I would say Arsenal.The capacity of a ground does have a bearing
of course.In the days of 2 league clubs in Bradford ,did City attract more than Park Avenue?In the 60s I was on Goodison Park Everton v Burnley when over 70000 were in attendance if I am not mistaken.

Brings back memories for me EVERTON v BURNLEY fixture early 60s think att was 74,000+ i was sat with all the other 10 year + kids around the pitch perimiter,no way it would happen today helth and safty and all.

Seen pictures of Tennis being played ground thousands were locked out because the Little Horton Stadium was choco block full in the early nineteenth century and again V Arsenal on Christmas day, I must admit our last game with Bradford City at home was 10,000, our last season against Southend United was nearly 7,000.

Hate to admit it but the shit have (apart from 2-3 seasons) allways had higher crowds than Rovers. That's why their fans think they are a big club.

Wednesday and Porkers is up and down every 5 years so so.

At present, they've got all the glory hunters and beat us hands down.

There's a local forum to Sheffield and you can read for hours the arguements about who has the most fans, who'se ground is best..... same old shit week after week.

I see it as it is.

Porkers have the upper hand at present, more fans, better league position.

But FIFA says Hillsborough is better, and we don't smell of old pigs arses!

Forest do get more than County. An often used whinge by Notts county fans is that they were the better team and better supported until Sir Brian Clough cane along and had the success.

What they fail to grasp is that they only finished above Forest twice in the 70's and the last time before that they they finished above Forest was back in the 50's.

Notts had higher attendances between 1947-1951 which was soley due to them signing Tommy Lawton who increased their crowds from 15,000 to between 25,000 in his 1st season and 35,000 in his 3rd while Forest's attendances remained at around the 23,000 mark.

Forest's attendanced dropped dramatically following the relegation in 1971/2 and for 2 seasons Notts County had a slightly higher average crowd, 710 more in 1972/3 and 2,500 more in 1973/4 which was the last time they had a larger average attendance. Since the 1984/5 season Forest have averaged more than 10,000 more than Notts.

Sorry for the geekyness of this post

I was kinda gonna say what StOdin said (but not as nerdy!!).
Also, from my pint of view regarding the two Sheffield teams, I've ALWAYS seen Wednesday as a better supposrted team than the pigs. When we've played them, they've always had bigger home crowds than the Blunts, and they certainly travel better - Utd turn up in a taxi on Trentside more often than not!

european top supported teams are in germany where they still have terracing in some stadiums ! borussia dortmund are prime examples of that and are i think best supported side in germany and i would argue europe.marseille in france are also well supported and well backed.psv eindhoven in holland seem to have solid support at home in eindhoven.at.bilbao in spain are going against the norm of only the big 2 having good support bilbao always seem to have big attendances and their home ground san mames is always full.in england the city debate i'd say nottingham its forest over county attendances wise. the sheffield one goes on form if wednesday are doing well they are without doubt top team in the city but if they doing poor and united are doing well then united will be better support.manchester one is on size alone which is united.the merseyside one unfortunatley its them over us cause they can get more into their hole of a place. london i'd say maybe arsenal.glasgow i think it depends on form same in edinburgh also.
