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

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






Say what you mean and mean what you say because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

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
