    largest attendance for non hearts old firm league game that you attended at Easter Rd

    Mine has to be East Fife in Jan 1973.

    17,100 IIRC

    Game after 7-0 that put us at the top of the league on goal difference.

    That will be beaten tonight

    Probably the day Aberdeen won the league in 1980.

    The east terracing was still at its full height.

    Went to extra time an penalties.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    15,157 .... (EDIT: Actually it wasn't, that was the attendance at Pittodrie, the home game attendance was 12,921)


    Weren't you at the Thistle game when Best made his home debut?

    very few hibbys there that day. Worth it to see Ferguson win the league though. Archibald and Strachan were immense.

    Yeah, the big terracing hadn't been knocked down yet. Hibs support was really low that day though.

    I know the thread is for league games but there was a decent crowd for the Scottish Cup tie v Dundee in 1974 - 28,236. 3-3 draw at ER, cuffed in the replay.

    That was the biggest load of rubbish ever. I honestly think that night there was 20,000+ at that game. Lost my wife in the mayhem when the early first goal went in. Found her at halftime wandering about at the pie huts at the back of the east totally pissed off as the last thing she said was "if Hibs score, don't let go of me"

    I was at the Aberdeen match in 1971 for the return of Joe Baker . Aberdeen goalie Bobby Clark was setting a new record without losing a goal. Pat and Joe scored in a 2-1 victory. Attendance 23402.

    Thanks for that, saved me looking it up

    Pat Stanton's goal was worthy of breaking a record.

    My biggest Hibs crowd anywhere? Hampden 1972, 50K Hibs tickets sold for that cup final, attendance was 108K
