35,000 at Loftus Road!Great find Mistryman. I think though it’s from 1968 as it states that Man City we’re the current league champions.
The capacities of the grounds are unbelievable aren’t they. I never did fathom how the hell we used to get 42000 in FS considering we basically had half a ground.
Remember going to Hillsborough for the 69 SF and my grandad pointing out that where we were sitting was converted just a few years before for the 66 WC into an all seater cantilever stand.
So many grounds were over 60000.
I notice that this is part 1/4 of all the FL grounds at the time. Wonder where the other 3 parts are? Be interesting to see
