The lowest I've ever seen for a domestic game was about 30 St Johnstone fans at Celtic Park in 2002. They were pretty pleased when they went 1-0 after 5 minutes, but after 12 minutes it was 2-1 to us, and that's how it stayed!

[s19s19]

Gotta be small heath aint it, for the size of our city their support is shocking.

[LeedsSalute]

Lowest I've seen is Wigan in the FA Cup less than 140. Shocking..

It shocked you?

Why on earth were you shocked by it?

No, I just like the word.

Wrong, 250. If you're going to take the p*ss, at least get the facts right.

[Rocky_Latic]

Tranmere had 128 at Swansea the other night. *chuckle*

Dole doesnt stretch that far

Nope deffo under 200. Doesnt matter anyway whether it was 140 or 250. God damn terrible.

Well surely you didn't expect us to come in our thousands ?

What do you expect when it was a replay, on tv, midweek, expensive and they wernt even going to play a full strength squad and they had huge games coming up in a couple weeks time.

Why is that what deters you from going to games because its a replay and 'huge' game coming up, Pretty poor excuse? For a Premier League club its terrible never mind league two.

Because people ar'nt made of money. im not saying your wrong about it, because its a shocking away support, and they were shocking at ewood to, but im just thinking of reasons for why their support was so bad. But when big games are coming up and it was on tv anyway (which was probably the biggest reason) and it was midweek,(they were more important factors to why their support was so bad) they aint going to be supporting their club in their thousands.

A newly promoted Premier League club, whose best ever average crowd before last season, was 11,000? We dont have the support numbers to take thousands everywhere. We had loads of games that month, and if there was one everyone was going to skip, it was this one. As for whether we had 200 or less, our programme gives our away attendance as 262, and thats what Ill choose to believe

Wigan's fixtures in January 2006:
Birmingham Away (1,812 Wigan fans) Premier League
Leeds Home (10,980, 3,476 of which were Leeds fans) FA Cup 3rd Round
Arsenal Home (12,181, 1,562 Arsenal fans) League Cup Semi Final 1st Leg (on TV)
West Brom Home (17,421, 2,782 West Brom fans) Premier League (on TV)
Leeds Away (15,243, 262 Wigan fans) FA Cup 3rd Round Replay (on TV)
Middlesbrough Away (27,208, 1,065 Wigan fans) Premier League
Arsenal Away (34,692, 1,579 Wigan fans) League Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg (on TV)
Man City Away (30,811, 2,842 Wigan fans) FA Cup 4th Round
Everton Home (21,731, 5,266 Everton fans) Premier League

Im sick of talking about our attendance at this game, it was crap, we know. It certainly wasnt unexpected though. These are the games Wigan played in January, and in comparison to the other 8 games, Leeds away was pretty insignificant. We had barely 7,000 fans in the first game, did you really expect hordes of Wiganers to descend upon Elland Road?

[Juanito]

Smallest I've seen is 17 from Peterhead, but since it was a 4 hour drive on a freezing October night I'll give them the benefit here.

[Douthy]

The lowest i've ever witnessed was 3.

That was brought by Leigh RMI in a League game on a saturday.

Jesus, that is awful.

At Kettering, we had 5 Yaxley fans in the FA Cup Qualifying Rounds the other week.

Yaxley are like 84 places below us, and we are in the conference north!

Boston took 9 (Nine) to Brighton in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

[mifune]

Boston equalled the lowest we've had in the Football League last Tuesday with 99.

I can't think of many teams that will do worse than that this season, although Macclesfield are in with a good chance again, even if it is on a Saturday.

Bury took 94 to barnet last season.

I have a bury supporting mate and he said it was 94 and he was one of them.

[red_rose]

Smallest away support I've seen is Fulham's the other week. I don't think I've even seen away support that small at an Accy stanley match.

We are poor but not that poor mate

Fulham's away support is ****ing awful.

not when they play chelsea,we take the place over

[TigerBoy]

I remember we played Swansea at BP in 2002, they must have brought about 56 fans. The season after, we played Kidderminster at the KC, they hardly brought any fans at all!

According to the radio, Charlton had about 50 odd up at Boro today. That must be an all time Premier League low?

The actual Charlton figure was 197.

The actual Charlton figure was 197.

Fulham brought less than that this season.

[TomCFC]

What was the Fulham figure mate? i heard it was low.

[jordnrovers4eva]

Less than 150, about 130. dont know exactly though.
For a 3pm saturday match, thats really poor.

Since we've dropped into the Conference the away attendences have been quite interesting. The lowest so far has been Southport on a tuesday night, about 70 of them. We couldnt even hear them when they scored. However, it seems that most conference teams regard Oxford as a "Big day out" or something. Aldershot brought 900 back in November and made an incredible amount of noise. We had 86 from Lewes in the FA Trophy the other night, which is pretty good considering it was a replayed replay that had originally been called off.

The two times I've seen Cheltenham play Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe seemed to have surprisingly little fans, although that was probs cos it was a midweek game each time. But when they played in the FA Cup, when the announcer did the whole "Number 25 Billy Sharp!" line ups thing, whenever a players name was mentioned, I didn't hear a single cheer, and usually you hear at least a slight "Yeahhhh" coming from the away end.

[Big_Jo_Lescott]

Boro took 100 fans to their away match with Xanthi in the UEFA Cup last year

[BlueSmudge]

I was at Leigh RMI yesterday for the game against Stalybridge. Crowd of 216, and Id say at least half of them were Stalybridge!

There's a good reason why we only took 160 fans last week (160, probably more than what others have taken there this season) The game was re-arranged from 10 days previous, giving very little time for people to be able to get the cash together/get the day off work.

If it was played on the Saturday as planned, there would've been 3-400 IMO.

BUt your views on football/life are... "interesting" to say the least, so I'll take what you say with a very large pinch of salt.

Oh, and I still remember that you tipped us for relegation at the start of the season Grand stuff.
