    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but being a chubber never counts as being jacked ain’t no two ways about that.

    I thought he'd retired when he joined Utd.

    Another wum f(u)ck up by you, Van Gaal won more trophies at United than Pochettino has at Spurs, I have confidence in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    When I say back in the day I don’t mean the ****ing 30’s - I’m not that old. I’m talking about the 60’s
    ,.

    And those are attendance figures anyway, which isn’t necessarily capacity.

    Chelsea held similar until 1963. And was bigger than Valley, held 80k either side of the war as did Maine Road.

    Selhurst never held 75k, 50k tops.

    Do you mean old Crystal Palace athletics stadium?

    The valley still held 70k plus for concerts in 70s.

    I stood on the massive side terrace against Chelsea in a 30k crowd and it seems empty

    The record attendance is over 51000, but it was capable of holding far more. Especially in the 60’s.

    Selhurst Park really didn't hold anything close to 75k. Ever.

    It never more than 50 odd K.

    As a kid I remember the old quiz question and both The Valley and Selhurst were two of the biggest grounds in the country, capable of holding 70,000+

    You said 75000 yesterday! Now 70k.

    Selhurst Park did not ever even come close to 70k in the 60s. Find one source.

    "The old quiz question". FFS; you sound like HIAG

    Yesterday it was "I remember the announcer saying we had 60,000 crowds in the mid 60s"

    (even though the Park Lane and Paxton had seats put in and capacity was reduced to 58k by 63)

    Find me one source that says it couldn’t. That’s how I remember it.

    <laugh> I think that's reserved for when Cym turns up. He's an old git.

    That said, he's still younger that you though. ;)
