• ... that the 2008 FA Cup Final between Cardiff City and Portsmouth holds the record for the highest attendance for a football match at the new Wembley Stadium with 89,874? Source: "Cardiff City website"

• Reviewed: Banging out

• GA indeed, hook is interesting (could say what the attendance was perhaps?) but the only thing to note is that the source doesn't include the 2020 Cup Final (it was published before then) so for completeness you need a source saying the 2020 Cup Final had a zero attendance in there too.... Also, QPQ is outstanding. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

• @The Rambling Man: Thanks TRM, I've added in a source for this year and included a QPQ review and the attendance figure itself as suggested. Kosack (talk) 16:34, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

• Good to go for me. Just as an aside, if/when this hits FAC, I'd suggest having a source for the diagram of the two formations in your back pocket, be prepared to lose those flags and I've never quite understood the FU justification for programme covers, but I'm in a minority on that I think. But this is not directly pertinent to DYK, so it's fine, just some notes for future reference. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:45, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks TRM, it probably will end up at FAC sometime next year but it does still need some fine tuning for sure! Kosack (talk) 17:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
