27,866 to be excatly exact..
I've never really understood why the attendance was so much bigger than other home games tbh...this is the season we went on a 10 games winning streak, but the peterboro game was after this run had come to an end...interestingly, 1st game of the season, home to Northampton a gate of 8929 and last game of the season, 6600 home to Crewe...
all pails to insignificance, with the 41,733 for Liverpool at BP the following year in the 4th round of the FA cup..
