Nice little earner Allan, but still 30k less than Ninian Park's record gate. The good old days of terraces.

I think that may have been an international match. I remember reading that Cardiff's record attendance there was just under 60k. The biggest I remember was the Real Madrid game, but I think there was a time when they regularly had 50k. Probably helped that everyone could afford it back then.

Will be a record for a club game at the CCS but not sure if it can be higher than the Belgium game due to segregation?
