About 28500-29000. To put this into context, in 1980-81 season when we came runners up in Division 1, our average attendance was 24600. EDIT: For CoastalBlue, Barcelona 70s home European game was 34k. [Post edited 19 Dec 2022 22:17]

Quite a lot more for some of the European nights I believe? Though probably only still the sort of numbers you were quoting for the max now. About 30K for St Etienne? I did sit through single figures during the Duncan years too to put some perspective on it. |  |

That's fantastic isn't it? I was lucky enough to be in the crowd when there was just over 38,000 at Portman Road v Leeds in the mid 70s. Pretty sure it couldn't have been safe by todays standards as everybody in North Stand (standing only) were crushed against each other, you had to choose to keep arms above your head or down by your side as couldn't move an inch! Maybe the time will come, if we keep doing well that our capacity may be increased again one day. |  | |  |

Was discussing with junior earlier and looked up the attendances. First three rounds for 80/81 EUFA Cup win were 17-20k, QF v St Etienne was 30k, SF v Colonge was 25k and final v Alkmaar was 28k. Highest league attendance was 32k v Liverpool. I remember a few 30K+ attendances in the early 80s, not many, even the home league cup semi v Norwich in 84/5 was 27k. [Post edited 19 Dec 2022 22:12]

400 according to ITFC. Which is pretty pathetic to be honest. |  |

Boxng Day on 09:55 - Dec 20 with 1541 views | ITFC_Forever | Big crowds don't always mean a good atmosphere... usually the extra fans are part-timers who sit on their hands. We have had better atmospheres with 10k than 30k in the past. |  |

Time for town to generate the atmosphere by scoring a couple of goals first half. Remove the fear and I reckon it would be quite loud. When was the last time at PR. Town controlled a fast flowing game whilst being 2/3 goals ahead. |  |

Yep, I'm struggling to see much beyond a very frustrating game where Oxford realise a point is a good result and do anything and everything to make that happen whilst the ground is near-silent with the exception of impatient tuts and groans every time something doesn't come off. |  |

We've got to channel that frustration into vocal support. Leif getting chopped down in front of the away end at Accrington was the turning point for atmosphere that day. Bring your strepsils and your lemsip and get ready to squawk |  |

Strange how large crowds do not generate a good atmosphere, best atmosphere I have been at Portman Road are the night games……..not forgetting Bolton in the play off semi final, but the team had a lot to fight for that night |  | |  |
