Attendance on Saturday was 62,467. The 9th highest we ever played in front of?
at 10:45 7 Oct 2024

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned already on here but I believe the game against West Ham was the biggest attendance we have played in front of since September 2001, when we lost 4-0 at Manchester United with 67,551 attending the game.

I also believe Saturdays game was the 9th most attended game ever in our history & the 4th highest this century.

Top Ten attendances involving Town
100000 - Arsenal 1-0 (Wembley) 06/05/1978 (Cup Final)

2011 v Arsenal League Cup semi final isn’t leg extended highlights
at 01:42 7 Oct 2024

This was put on you tube today. Never saw the highlights due to being at the game. Should have won by more then two imo but either way it was a great night.

Also great to see Márton Fülöp in an interview after the game. Underrated keeper who was taken way too soon.

Huddersfield offering ten free coaches to their fans for our home fixture

Nice gesture. But hopefully many will not take this offer up. especially with many Town fans hoping they do not sell out their allocation.
