some basic BFC history stats

I will say straight out that all this information should be engraved on my heart and in my head. But it is not.

I have had a request from someone at Mansfield who wants to publish some Bees info in their programme this coming Saturday.

So, anyway with a stat-book to hand, here's your starter for ten:

What is the record transfer fee recieved?
Record fee paid?
and how much in both instances. (presumably it was for Herman in both cases)

Highest attendance (that game against Preston in the 1930s and modern time (ie: last ten years); presumably that would be Reading in 2002 or the Sunderland/Southampton cup ties in recent years.

and...
... presumably, it's true that none of the current squad have cost us a penny (in transfer fees that is).

Would appreciate any assistance.

a) £850k and £2.5m for Hermann

b) 38,649 v Leciester in the FA Cup Sixth Round 5/3/49.

c) Not sure, will have to check

I thought that the £850k we paid Palace was for Hermann and Tony Folan and that £100k of it was attributed to the Folan part of the deal?

The highest attendance in recent times was probably the 12,000+ that saw us lose 1-0 to Man City in the many-times postponed FA Cup tie. But that's probably just a tad over ten years ago now I come to think of it.

I checked the official records and it was seperate. So 850k for Hermann and £100k for Folan.

The Peterborough home game where they let us all in free? was that 11,500? the highest gate possible due to segregation of fans at that time?

The Preston 1938 FAC gate was a guesstimate was it not?

Whereas the Leicester game in 1948/49 was when the turnstiles clicked everyone in?

The Reading game attracted more, I think it was around 11,800.

No, the Preston crowd was given to the press at the time as 37,500 (can't remember the exact figure) and indeed printed in the programme as such in the next home game.

That autumn, a different, higher figure for the game appeared in the News Of The World annual out of nowhere and was not challenged. Martin and I are of the opinion that an error occured in the book and it was then copied ever since.
