Swansea City's highest league attendance over the past four decades came when John Toshack was in charge and 24,115 watched the Vetch Field clash with Manchester United in January 1982.
Their biggest recorded gate at the Liberty Stadium is 20,972 for a 3-1 triumph over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool two years ago, when Andre Ayew scored twice.
Is that right ? Seems very low.
Capacity, innit.Quote:

Should hit 30,000 I would have thought.Quote:

To be fair, we do get a good turn out for big promotion games. Remember that game v Orient in the 80's. It was released on video with some guy interviewed on the Bob Bank saying w should have Shakin' Stevens concerts there. :facepalm:
Does the 27k include Wolves tickets ?Quote:

Thanks L. With 2 days to go lets hope for as close to a sell out as possible.Quote:

I think they are confident of getting more than our biggest gate in the premiership season mate. Hence the biggest league crowd since Hereford 1976 claim. I am predicting just under 31k.Quote:

I would estimate that we are around 30000 currently. It must be more than 27000 because they have announced the 'biggest league gate since 1976'. The current stadium league record is Derby in April 2016 at 28680, so it must be more than that currently.Quote:

I believe this is the 'red zone' where the club need to add extra stewarding.
WOL are the ones saying we are 'on course' for a record crowd, but we aren't there quite yet.
2 more days of selling and we are going at 1000+ a day should hopefully see us near the 30k mark by kick off.
What?? Blasphemy!!!!!Quote:

107 & 108 in the Canton end were on sale a couple weeks ago and sold out. 411 is at the Canton end again and has been on sale for a few days - perhaps you meant 417 ?.Quote:

No sorry. I meant 117 and 118Quote:
