27.12.1913 v Preston North End, Everton lost 0:1, attendance ~10,000

11.10.1947 v Middlesbrough, Everton won 1:0, attendance 38,686

 

Notes

18.04.1892 v Bolton Wanderers (h).  Local press reports were evenly split between an attendance of ~11,000 and ~12,000, therefore, the average has been taken in this case.

16.04.1894 v Bolton Wanderers (a).  Although a figure of ~1,000 has been quoted in a local press report, another report stated that the attendance was very low due to the weather on the day of the match and therefore may have been even lower then the ~1,000 quoted elsewhere!

07.12.1896 v Bolton Wanderers (a).  Originally this match was due to be played on 07.11.1896 but was abandoned after 61 minutes due to fog.  The attendance for the abandoned match was ~7,000.

 

As regards the match on 10.04.1922 v Preston North End (h), which was drawn 0:0.  I don't actually have the figure either (I've only just finished researching up to the start of WW1), and this is on my list to find as well!  Once I get it I'll let you know.  In fact it is the only attendance figure I'm missing prior to the start of 'official' attendances in 1925-26.

I can provide attendances for Everton matches.  Matches prior to the 'official' League figures have been taken from various local newspaper reports on the matches.
