Stadium capacity: the evidence

Every witness behind the capacity figures: who published which figure for which seasons, where in the document, whose knowledge it is (a copy counts as its original), whether it was the school’s own, and the day the cited version was read. The documents’ text is archived privately and never shown.

390 rows, 1905–⁠2026. Source: Curated, each figure cited (per source: see each row’s evidence). On the site: Stadium pages.
