I remember at the time thinking there must have been 30,000 at the game then found out in the papers the attendance was either 20,002 or 19,800 and being disappointed. These things were important to me back then.  

I think there was some creative accounting when it came to crowds back then, whether it was the turnstile operators, the club or both creating a number that always seemed lower than it felt.
