11,000...
Puts in perspective when people say 19k v Millwall is poor0 -
Yes and probably 5,000- 6,000 of those were Chelsea.
Clive Walker was a very good player in those days for them. Quick, skillful and direct. We had only just come back up to Division 2 but held our own. Would that have been Kevin Hales in their line-up that evening?
Also Colin Pates and John Bumstead who would go on to play for us later in their careers.0 -
Loads of Chelsea infiltrated the Covered End seats. @Addickted saw them off after Killer put us 2-1 ahead though:)0

Clive Walker was an entertaining player. He could cross with either foot and was comfortable going inside or outside his man. Got goals too.E-cafc said:Yes and probably 5,000- 6,000 of those were Chelsea.

Didn't Chelsea try and burn the Covered End down that day? I was only 7 but have a vague memory or rumours going round that they had started fires under the stand!0

That was the 1976 Easter Monday game when we won 4-0 and Mike Flanagan scored a hat trickClem_Snide said:Didn't Chelsea try and burn the Covered End down that day? I was only 7 but have a vague memory or rumours going round that they had started fires under the stand!

One substitute used across the 2 teams - I know they only had one each but it would likely have been 6 if it was played now.0

I was only 2 in 1976 so wasn't at that one......maybe people were talking about that game and my young over active imagination assumed they meant it was happening there and then!Richard J said:
