Does anyone know the biggest Renfreshire derby attendances at Cappielow, Love St and neutral venues?

Some stats may be difficult to come by eg Renfreshire Cup crowds in the sixties could have been massive, especially in 1964.

Any ideas?

Cappielow in 1987 was full.

Biggest ones I can see so far are:


Morton 4 0 St Mirren 15000 1 1 1947
Morton 3 0 St Mirren 18000 22 9 1951

and

St Mirren 2 1 Morton 20,000 21 8 1948
St Mirren 1 1 Morton 15,697 2 1 1965

Going by St Mirren Programmes, there were also 20,000 fans at Love Street on 18th September 1948, for a League Cup sectional tie. Also 20,000 at Ibrox for Billy Campbell's Testimonial, 23rd August 1950.

Slight tangent here but what is the biggest crowd for a derby not involving Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee teams?
The score remains 4-1 and counting...

In fact this might be the highest derby attendance not involving Glasgow or Edinburgh teams. Or even the highest derby attendance not involving Edinburgh teams played outwith the locality of the sides involved... :ph34r:
