I was at this game. A look at the pic of Harvey scoring suggests a large crowd but a closer look at the grainy image shows that there are gaps...and that 21000 could be the attendance there.
 

I wonder how many at that game saw anything to suggest what would unravel that season?

A lot of us hoped for the best but feared the worst. The wheels started coming off roundabout October and got dire in the November. Ended up with 37 points from 42 games. It was actually an improvement of one point on the season before but 2 places lower. The heart and guts had been pulled out of the club and team.

We getting mixed up here?
I'm looking at the date on the programme August 1969, the season about to start was our championship season.

I was also at the game and I have vague memories that for many pre season games only parts of the ground were open so the 21,000 may have been concentrated in just a couple of areas, that was also a period when the Main Stand was being demolished. Still thanks everyone for their input.

I did, I spent all July going round Holland Belgium Luxemburg telling anybody who would listen it was nailed on, we were going to piss the league.
Even after Dundee went ahead after10 mins, we laughed...Everton That...but no worries.
We got ourselves sorted, went up through the gears and seen them off.
