Sounds like one of the Allam's fictional attendance numbers.
Capacity at a squeeze, but we haven't had one that high since the early 50's no ?

If Wiki is to be believed...

On 20 March 1967, Boothferry Park hosted an FA Cup 2nd replay between Leeds United and Sunderland. Over 40,000 fans attended and Leeds United won 2–1. It was standard procedure in the pre penalty shoot-out days for 2nd and subsequent replays to be held on neutral grounds

Surprised me.
 
Check out City v Stoke 71

Last time this city saw a 40k+ crowd for a sports event.
I remain corrected - I attended the Stoke match ( Gorden Banks brought more than 2,000 family members to B.P.) I noted 42,000 (exactly) in the programme. The previous Wednesday I attended the Sheff United game we won at Bramhall Lane(Knighton's first game I believe) which had slightly over 40,000. Think we averaged just over 22,000 at home that season.
No home 40k + crowds since methinks.

Had to smile at this ad title, at least they're FSC certified so there shouldn't be any splinters...

Isn't it great having statues of mostly good people in our city?
I dont think Sadiq Khan has thought about his statement regarding statues and street names in London.... or maybe its his way of getting more people into London to ease the economic burden,.,.,.
