Liverpool away confirmed - On BT Sport Sunday 8 January 1.30

[Larry David]

Echoes of 84? Remember we beat Newport with a late Tommy Tynan Penalty (was it a replay?) before going on to beat a Premier/First Division side, West Brom away.

 

[Steve Evans]

my noble lord.'twas a late penalty equaliser at home park by sir thomas with a single goal win at somerton park by count andy rogers.if we are both wrong memory man will have the correct details.if liverpool play a "second" team i think we will win. :thumbup:

 

[Larry David]

Your probably right Steve. I was at both games Newport home and West Brom! And recall Tommy getting dogs abuse during the Newport game. Scoring that penalty was a real turning point for him.

 

[Steve Evans]

i was at west brom also.what a match.

My own answer -59424 at the Emirates.. Before that?!

It was on a tour to Poland or some such east European country where we played a warm-up to a cycle race, crowd was 120,000.

Either that or away to Boca Juniors on tour when Moses Russell caused a riot.

But in competitive games? Did we play at the old Valley? There were nowhere near 59000 at The Emirates that day by the way. Lots of empty seats in home end as the prawn sandwich brigade didn't think we were worth their valuable time.

One for the stattos! Assuming there is a capacity crowd of 54,000 at Anfield, when was the last time Argyle played in front of a bigger crowd, or will this be in fact the biggest?

You are obviously forgetting we played in front of 57000 just last season. But the match was instantly forgettable!!!

The question didn't stipulate a competitive game. Besides, after Moses smacked in that penalty the rioting was pretty darn 'competitive' by the sound of it :lol:

That is a good shout from X-Isle. It was the tour of Poland in the summer of 1963 when they were watched by a crowd of 100,000 in Warsaw. I have no idea about the South American games. But in terms of competitive games then 5 of the six top attendances to watch Argyle play were in London. Arsenal in January 1932 was 65386, the only time we have played in front of more than 60000. !0 years and 11 months earlier 59871 had turned out for an FA Cup game against Chelsea. Then comes the 59424 for the Emirates game in 2009. Next is even more recent - this year's 57956 for the disastrous play-off final.
Next comes a second visit to Stamford Bridge when 53704 filed in to watch Chelsea beat us 4-1 in the FA Cup 4R. Finally, we have the sixth over 50,000 crowd for a 6-1 defeat at Newcastle in August 1947. My thanks to GoS - the other Steve must be having a well deserved day off.

It's rather appropriate there's an Argyle Road just around the corner from Anfield. :thumbs:

Matchday moments at Liverpool. Thought maybe a few people would be wondering the same thing! At Wembley it didn't seem to be allowed, however at some places like Exeter it was?

So what's the biggest crowd we have ever won in front of? Wembley 96 ?
