Newcastle by a mile, they brought a boat load about 5 years ago, around 8000 if I recall. Hard to see that being beaten anytime soon.

Sheffield Weds mid 80s. Think Gary Bannister scored 2.
Easily Man Utd 1974-75. They gave them the whole of the bob bank and they damn near filled it.
At ccs it's Leeds in the cup by a mile isn't it?
Crystal Palace had a huge allocation in the 2nd leg of the League Cup semi final and took it up I reckon.
Sunderland 1980 was the biggest in my time. Easily about 11k of them. The JAcks in the 3-3 game was the next biggest IMO.

celtic fans at a inter cardiff game i think, at ninian park
most fans seen in Cardiff playing the city has to be QPR
Not a City game.
Scotland in 85, the Jock Stein game. I've got it in my head there were at least 12000 jocks here?
I was fourteen at the time and their presence left an impression on me.
They also had most if not all the Grange End side of the Enclosure, in my head anyway. Was sat in the Grandstand and the enclosure seemed teeming with Jocks.
Most intoxicated mass support I've ever seen.
I can also remember some of them camping outside the Castle the day before the game.
Had just moved to Reading. There was a special train back to London after the game where there were about 50 Welsh supporters amongst about a thousand Jocks. Reasonably amicable because of the result but when we got off at Reading the news of Jock Stein's death had come through. Such a sad day.
I was a schoolboy at the time down the City. We had training at the ground the next day. We would hole up in the away changing room. There was an old treatment table at the centre of the changing room, very old heavy thing from the 60s, Brown leather. I was sat on it, and Stan Montgomery grabbed my shoulders from behind and said to me " Son, Jock Stein died on that table last night" sent a shiver...
My memory isn't the best and I've probably plucked 12000 from a newspaper source at the time but I can remember the enclosure towards the Grange End being rammed with Jocks.
I'd never seen the Grange End as full and the only part of Ninian Park without a Scottish presence was the Canton.
I'll have a snoop at YouTube later to try and justify my memory.
Newport County , Welsh Cup Final V Merthyr
Most of them on a mission to wreck everything in their way
