    I was only referring to your posts Chazz... Sorry for not saying in the first place. So here goes.

    I would like to thank Chazz for providing real information and FACTS on the Coronavirus thread. Without his FACTUAL input the thread would have been tosh.
    FACT!

    The killer facts around the Matrix are not certain to prove anywhere close to being accurate.

    Watched some highlights of that match the other day. Bobby Charlton was 28, he looked as old then as he does now!

    Hull should have staged some games in that tournament but Harold Needler started his ground mods two years too late.

    The footballing hotbed of Middlesborough got to stage 3 games, one watched by only 15,887, N Korea v Italy watched by 18 727 and Soviet Union - N Korea watched by 22, 568.

    Hull would have had 55,000 back then.

    Anyone who was in the 46000 crowd at Boothferry Park in 1966 will tell you there wasn't much space.
    Edit I wasn't there but my cousin was.

    Don't forget that North Korea BEAT Italy in that match.

    I love the fact that North Korea, of all countries, really should've got to a World Cup Semi Final.

    I don't remember a crowd larger that 40, 231 (day after Boxing day against Millwall in Dec 65) throughout the 60's. In fact, did we ever have one higher @ BP after that ?

    Wasn't capacity reduced to 35k-ish after the new South Stand was built?

    I would imagine so. The new South stand was part seating & part terracing. Bunkers had been all standing.
