Whilst checking to see the attendance at the United game, I was surprised to see that United’s largest attendance so far this season was our visit….. We are obviously a bigger attraction than we realised….. More at United v Charlton, than United v Liverpool.

Leeds will take more2

Less seats left for segregation/stewards etc maybe?
Less likely to kick off between a L1 club from miles away than an league game v Liverpool, City, Leeds and the like?2 -
BBC reporting their attendance against City on Saturday as 75,546.0

Think that's a typo, it was 73,546.superclive98 said:BBC reporting their attendance against City on Saturday as 75,546.0 -
I wonder if Dean Holden's seat was counted even though he was obviously elsewhere in the stadium.15

I was at the top of the way stand and lots of the ground I couldn’t see but what I could see there were lots of empty seats in the United stands. This is suggesting a full capacity crowd which is bollocks!1

Clearly some fictional attendance numbers!0

i thought i read somewhere their capacity is around 80K including safe standing if you disregarded safe segregation.

also assuming say, 2% bought tickets but don't attend for outside life reasons which I don't think is an unreasonable figure on a cold Tuesday night in Manchester - that's almost 2k - which doesn't seem unreasonable in that big of a crowd on what would be for man u standards very cheap tickets1 -
They do it for safety/tax reasons like we used to. There was well over 100 thousand there last week.mattwils said:Clearly some fictional attendance numbers!6 -

Man U v Palace according to sky there were 35,000 at selhurst yesterday which is odd as it only holds 25,0008

People around me were saying the stadium looked packed. Could barely see an empty seat - from where we were standing anyway.

Definitely the same Charlton fan who used to estimate our away numbers before official numbers became a thing .CoveredEndAndy said:Man U v Palace according to sky there were 35,000 at selhurst yesterday which is odd as it only holds 25,0001 -
There were quite a few empty seats high up in the Man U area, in the corner down our end.2

The Rothmans Football Yearbook used to give the record match reciepts for each club, for a while Man Utds was the 1994 quarter final against us. Here for the Charlton indeed (probably due to it being a full house for a cup game, but we'll pass over that).2

Does this make it the highest domestic football attendance this season across the UK and Ireland?0
