I’m not sure about the exact attendance for the Northampton game but I know that there has only been one bigger crowd at Deepdale and that was v Arsenal in 1942… 42,684.
Arsenal won 3-1…

I'm surprised about that. There was a war on at the time and most young men had been conscripted. Maybe that was before we were fighting in mainland Europe and Africa?
Ignore my previous post , I was wrong …. ✋🏻
The game was April 23rd 1938 ie: Pre War.
Apologies…
Were you there?

Thanks LiS 👍
Didn't British Leyland used to use the spare space? Or did I imagine that?

I've just done an online search and the AI summary says it was Liverpool who supposedly named it in 1928.
The article above doesn't give an official date for our Kop but does say that it was named by soldiers when they were building it in 1921. I couldn't find an official naming date for the original so who knows? But we do all know that history doesn't count for clubs outside the Premier League. 😉
Thanks for doing an online search and posting the results.

Can I post a photo direct from an android phone or tablet, or do I have to have the photo existing on a photo site. Please?

You can post direct but I'm not sure if it only allows you if you're a patron.
Ok, thanks. Better become a patron, never noticed it before.
Sadly, BigbrotherFacebook's changed something 😒 & deleted these pictures.
