No way were there 370 there. Have dug out some programmes from later in 1987 & they do say 370 but remember the game well as it was a Tuesday afternoon & rushing to Chiswick from work, having finished at 1. Unfortunately, from the party of 4 who were at the game, 2 are now deceased & the third suffers from dementia but if I catch him in a moment of clarity, will ask him if he remembers how many he thought were there. Shame Bob Evans is no longer with us, he could probably have not only given the crowd figure but also named 99% of them !

Now, as for some of those 'official' crowds for Crystal Palace & what Struddy told you privately . . .

No I wasn't suggesting you were in any sense being disrespectful to anyone alive or in the past. No your comment was on the basis that it was suddenly a wake.

well, the conversations regarding "back in the day" did remind me of the type of reminiscing that goes on at funerals....and London Broncos are most certainly not in "rude health".

For the record, 3,380 was the average the season before Gus....3,600 is the TOTAL attendance for three games thus far.

I only got there because I worked a night shift then the following morning one so somebody could cover for me !

Worth remembering, crowd that season for the away game at Huddersfield was 391 hardy souls !

And I was one of them! One of the more bizarre games I've been at as only the open terracing opposite the main stand was open - got some pictures of it somewhere, but there's no point in digging them out as I haven't a clue how to post them on here. Oh, and we won 24-16.
