The highest 4th tier attendance in England - 37,774 - were present at Sehurst Park for a Good Friday Fourth Division promotion clash between Crystal Palace and Millwall. Millwall won the match 2-0 but Palace went on to win promotion. The Selhurst Park crowd that day was also a world record attendance for a match in the fourth tier of a League competition although that record was beaten when Rangers found themselves demoted to the bottom division of the Scottish League in 2012/13. All but one of the League crowds at Ibrox that season topped 40,000 with their best being 50,048 against Berwick Rangers in their last match of the season.
