Page "Craven Cottage" Paragraph 17

On 8 October 1938, 49, 335 spectators watched Fulham play Millwall.

During the 1930-60's era, Fulham often averaged over 45, 000.

However, the official attendances can be considered somewhat dubious in this era as many fans would get in by climbing over the fence from Bishops Park into the Putney End.

As at many other grounds, fans would sometimes pay at the turnstiles but not be counted.

This boot money would be given to the players ( stuffed in their boots ) and would not be counted in the gate money.

The ground hosted several football games for the 1948 Summer Olympics.
