Anyone know what the lowest visiting support has been to The Valley for a game in the last few years, not including Barnet in JP. I remember Port Vale looked like they only bought about 100 for the League Cup game in 2001 and Walsall this season did not bring many.
I remember playing Port Vale at smellhurst once and they didn't open the away section of the Holmesdale there were so few of them. They just came in the home section
Peterborough can't have had more than a 100 the year Nelson scored a hattrick and we sent them down.
Lowest I have ever seen was at Selhurst in the Full Members. Bradford had 4 fans there. They actually openned the Homesdale Rd Terrace that night and then took pity on them when it bucketed down. Moved them to the end pen of the Arthur Waite......
Those that DO come are heroes, and won't deserve any 'is that all....' or 'your support is...' chants. Its the stay at homes that won't be there that may deserve criticism, certainly not the people who turn up.

I know it's pretty much a standard football chant these days but the 'is that all you take away' chant is probably the one that winds me up the most, especially when our away support over recent years has generally been terrible.
I remember us playing Cambridge at the old valley in the 80s for a league match and i am pretty sure we counted something like 18 away fans, if not it was very low and definately under 30

They will no doubt have a few London based fans who will come.
Reckon it will be around 200.

Unfortunately there will be some of that, probably by same people who couldn't even make it half hour on the train to Wycombe.
Don't forget the figures he may have will be the amount that were purchased before the postponment (?)
How many turn up tomorrow is a different story. (you've probably got a link for that story)

I would say it wont be many more than 100 that probably all live in London anyway.
