Cas: 25,499, Hunslet, in t' Cup, 9 Mar 1935


Personally, the idea of 25,000 in Wheldon Rd is almost as frightening as the idea of 104,000 in Odsal Crater …

Huddersfield,s record is
The highest attendance at Fartown to watch a Huddersfield game was 32,912 against Wigan on the 4 March 1950.


This figure is disputed by HKR fans as they feel it is exceeded every time they visit the Galpharm
