Oakwell at full capacity

Can anyone please tell me the last time Oakwell was officially full?
Has it been full since the Premiership e.g Birmingham in the play offs? Was it full in the Premiership?

Thanks.

 

think you'll need old timer for that one.

 

dont think its been full, came close against blackburn and man city spring to mind.

 

I'm not sure but remember the capacity increased after the Prem season didn't it?

 

The capacity in The Premiership was around 18,000. It is now 23,009.

 

Probably prem season.

 

Premier League capacity was just under 19000

 

Because of the north stand

I think we have had more in since the prem years.
I think against weshday last season was the most we have had in since all seater.

 

Sorry season before

against weshday..20438

 

Birmingham was around 19,000 - 20,000 so it wasn't even full then. So god knows where we got 35,000 for the play off final!(doh)

 

If there would have been owt to play for I think..

t'would have been packed to the rafters.

As it was it was all over bar the shouting.

34000 vs Man City & Liverpool in the eighties and there were plenty that could not get a ticket.

Quality night that was ! Still remember that game like it was yesterday. AYLOTT! 1-0 (nodding2fingers)

There wasn't 36,000 at that game . Thought it was more around 33,000 - 34,000 mark

 

32,551 to be precise. And to answer toby's question -

- the last time Oakwell was full to capacity was for most (but not all) of our home matches in the Premiership season. Not been the case since then.

How have I become confused.. probably carried away with the joys of my youth.
Aylotts goal against Brighton in the round before.. Probably the best I have seen at Oakwell.

 

RE: If there would have been owt to play for I think..

You are pardoned!ff Was a great goal that one against Brighton - near the half way line if i'm not mistaken.
John McDonald scored one similiar but not quite as good!
