Wonderful, greetings from France. New birth for the shakers

[@DJAsh65]

This is more likely to have been filmed at the Sheffield United v Bury FA Cup 2nd Round game at Bramall Lane, which the Shakers won 1-0 on the way to winning the Cup by a record score in the Final. Reasoning : the crowd for the league match was 7,000, whereas the FA Cup game attracted 21,000. This footage clearly shows Bramall Lane containing a much larger crowd than 7000.

[@jasonphipps1144]

Me thinks it’s quite a bit more than 21,000.

Here in Romania one of the biggest - well, most traditional anyway - clubs in our league have also been bankrupted (intentionally or not, that's another story) several years ago, so that only a handful of them have left, and the majority of population has lost interest in football.

[@sorabb-c4269]

Man city equalled it over 100 years later against watford but that is still a very impressive record

[@blabla-rg7ky]

@@sorabb-c4269 I think it's more impressive for Bury since at that time there wasn't so much money put in football to buy the best on the market, and so Bury might have had a tougher opponent than City. I mean, today if City beats xxx *insert any common club* 6-0 in a final everyone will go "meh, it was bound to happen given the money and talent they have". But back then, being xxx *insert another common club, like Bury* and winning the FA cup probably all (or most anyway) of the opponents in your bracket would have been tougher than you. And they've won the trophy without conceding a single goal (at least that's what someone said here on this thread), which is bonkers for a common club like Bury. That's what makes it more impressive than City's record in my opinion

bla bla That common club Bury had won the Cup before there was a Man Utd or Arsenal. They won it twice before Arsenal or Man Utd had got into Division One. Bury had spent 20 seasons in Division One when World War One broke out, more than Arsenal, Man Utd had and a number of today’s big clubs. They had won the Cup twice and been in Division One before there was a Chelsea. Common Bury, as you call them was a better team than them at the time of this film.

Nuts if you asked me, especially since back then there hasn't been so much money invested in football like today and a team like Bury have probably been underdogs, so basically no matter who they've been up against at any time during the cup they would have been underdogs. And yet, they have won the cup without conceding a single goal. Now that is remarkable
