I imagine the crowd at Chipstead vs Sutton, should they win their tie against Knaphill, would be lower than 130 Needless to say it would be even less at Knaphill, who in their last 2 league games have let in 10, yet scored 6, with a 6-4 defeat at the hands of league leaders Ashford Town (Middlesex) (remember them eh?) being their last run-out. Weather permitting the game against Chipstead is on next Tuesday but first they have a FA Vase tie to negotiate like their fellow Combined Counties side SCR!

What have been the highest attendances ? I think the biggest crowd at a Sutton game i went to may have been Wembley 1969.

Good Shout billy... I think mine is probably Norwich away ( 3rd highest home gate for them that season?) followed by U's third visit to Wembley, then Coventry at home - I have no idea what the Middlesbrough away gate was, but that's got to be up there for me. Didn't go to the Leeds game as I had only just become aware that I shared the name of the worlds greatest football team.

I would expect the FA Amateur Cup Final of 1963 would be the largest attendance that a Sutton side has played in front of.
For me being at the game it would be Norwich, Wembley 1981 and Middlesbrough away as the top 3

Boro away was just under 18000. To my mind the best performance I have ever seen from a Sutton team (and I've seen a few good ones)

Cup 4th Round 22,578 - Bishop's Stortford v SUFC, 1981 F.A. Trophy Final 17,932 - Middlesbrough v SUFC, 87/88 F.A. Cup 3rd Round Replay 14,000 - SUFC v Leeds Utd, 69/70- F.A.

Can you imagine getting a crowd like that for a SSC replay these days? Maybe 1% of that...
