Attendance today......

I was always told the Everton crowds were understated as VAT cons. Have no opinion whether this was true or not. Haven't got the year-by-year book to hand but go back into the 60s and one Saturday the crowd would be 45,000 and the next Saturday it would be 33,000. Surely not true in reality?
 
So, that's three different figures recorded for that Watford match, and the one thing they have in common is the --,026.

We'll probably never know the truth of it all, though I can understand crowds varying from 45k to 33k depending on the visitors.
 
Can't believe there were 30k+ there today. Dad has been going the game since the sixties and he was confident it was around the 21k mark. I agreed.

Assuming it is accurate though, good work by the club. Lawrenson just praised our ticketing policy for today on MOTD.

Obviously a misprint in my book 'Everton - A Complete Record'.

Still a pathetic crowd in the period of our greatest success, and sub 30,000 crowds were quite common, unless they were
all misprints. Not likely, though, is it? I mean 25,843 v Man Utd Sep't '86.

That Utd game gate is correct iirc it was a live TV game,that really used to affect the attendance back then,by the way I've a few Utd mates who won't have it but I went to see us at OT late 1980's midweek near the end of the season and the attendance was 26000 with a couple of thousand blues there toolol

I was there that night mate, not long before the 89 final,we beat them as well. They were quite disillusioned with Ferguson at the time. Also went to Whitesides testimonial think it was a bank holiday Monday, there were only about 8000 there and I can't remember the circumstances but John Aldridge played for us
Do you remember their turnout midweek about 83? They'd played a semi on the Saturday before and must have brought about 500.
