ATTENDANCES (HIGHEST AND LOWEST)
HIGHEST ATTENDANCESThe following are all attendances over 40,000 at The City Ground. (Current capacity = 30,445)
ATTENDANCE RECORDS
The following is the list of each new attendance record at home.
(Note: Even though the game against Derby in 1896 that had 20,000 fans was abandoned, it's included in here because it doesn't affect the progression.
If I ignore it, then the next record breaker would still be the 1899 game against Aston Villa).
