Quote: Graham Richards "Was that the same draw in which Clive Pickerill managed to touch a drop goal attempt that went over? In the days when a touch cancelled out a drop. Good rule should bring it back.
I love the 20,000+ crowds. If memory serves our capacity was 18500 at the time.'"
Crowd was 20,569 that night.
Our capacity had previously been 18,500, however the extra work extending the Gordon Street terrace (the very same that had contributed to the 1981 Boulevard riot) had extended the capacity to above 20,000.
Think that was the only time we went over the 20,000 mark at the Boulevard in the 80's era, but sold out with the 18,500 capacity on a few occasions.
