Afternoon all. Just seen I was tagged in a few posts. Havnt posted today, had a deal with a couple of things. Links back to the shit news I had.

Anyway. As far as I am aware. The deal is still ongoing.
Prehab, I never had the opportunity earlier, but please accept my deepest condolences. Be strong good buddy for you and your wife.
 
The lads are wearing black shorts, so that makes it 1950's before Brown took over. Probably Blackpool, as Man Utd would have been a colour clash even then. Maybe 54/55. That was mid-September with a 51,500 crowd.
Just had a quick look on Stat Cat.
Every home game V Blackpool in the '50's up to the short colour change under Brown in '57 had a gate in excess of 50,000.
The previous season to your suggestion 53/54 was bigger at 60,998.

That was the pulling power of Stanley Matthews as much as anything else. They reckoned he could put at least 5,000 on the gate for any match he played in. 53/54 was also the season after the Matthews final.
