Any one know what the record highest home attendance is for a Dons/Dragons/Lakers game and who was the game against?

Was it the very first game against Wakey in 1951 at the Greyhound Stadium. (7,600)

I do believe it is against Leeds in 1994/95 big league season. Crowd in excess of 10,000

Could it be 4,500 plus against Huddersfield in a cup match It certainly filled the ground that day

Long before my time, but I thought they had just over 10,000 vs Bradford Northern in the early fifties.

Well done Stand -Offish your answer is correct.

February 16th 1952 the Dons played Bradford Northern in the first round of the Challenge Cup at the York Rd Greyhound Stadium in front of a 10,000 crowd
The result was Dons 4 Bradford 7 the Dons points came from goals by Tynan & Griffiths.
This game was the second leg of the competition as at that time the first round was a two legged affair.
The Dons lost the first leg at Bradford 6-5 therefore the Dons lost the tie on a aggregate score Dons 9 Bradford 13
