Alright folks...... I was just wondering what's the worst following you've seen Charlton take away? And also what's the lowest turnout from a team at The Valley? I daresay my team, Barnsley, may figure in the last question as I can recall only about 25 of us travelling down for a match in the mid 80's during the miner's strike?

I was in a Charlton support of 80ish at Sheff Utd midweek mid 90's.
Think that stand holds 6000
Maybe that's actually the 54 I mentioned in another thread this week? Period sounds about right
Bradford...cant actually remember any...crowd was only just over 3000 wasnt it?
I love that kit, one of my favourites
Bradford had 4 for that game. Always remember it as the moved them to the corner of the Arthur Waite to get out of the rain.
I went to Burnley in the league cup around 1990 I think there were just over 20 there. Also remember 60-70 at Grimsby when Kinsella and Rufus were sent off.
Actually it was 82 a Grimsby. That was the match where me, James and Vince sat in the front row and sang "We know a song that gets on Alan Millers nerves" for 45 minutes. On the tuesday we took 5000 to Anfield
I was at that match. Spent most of the evening chatting to a delightful South Yorkshire constabulary WPC. Even got her phone number but I didn't follow it up...Shame
nah, she was a pig ;-)

82, that means you went in your mum's tummy to the game, you being 27 and all that
Newcastle April 1983, lost 4-2 (Martin Robinson 2) = 35.
Newcastle October 1983, lost 2-1 (Paul Curtis) = 35 and soaked, almost to Yeovil proportions. Was on Match of The Day and came a week after we lost 7-0 at Brighton.
Anyone else at any of those games?
I went to that Bradford game, i think the crowd was about 800 (maybe lower) i remember them standing alongside us at the end of the half awake and but sure there was more than 4 away fans
I remember Cambridge bringing a really poor following, must have been early 80s, think we counted 12.
Hundred you must have been Peeed and seeing double
there wernt that many

Back in the 80's the Cambridge Utd following was terrible on a good day but was really bad in 84 when we beat them 5-2 (Flannagan's return to the club). Reckon this is the game you're thinking of....or it could have been a 2-1 win 1982/3 (Simonsen and a Hales last minute winner).
before there were official numbers on away fans , a lot of people appeared to have that problem
you would have had a field day mate
no more than a coach load i reckon and we drove up so there was how ever many on a coach and us 2
match went to pens.
Simod cup by then and 1,338 there (I looked it up)
We won 5 - 4 on pens
Millwall once brought 61 to Oakwell in 80/81..... I can remember counting them on the Spion Kop that day as extra police were drafted in to cope with any potenial trouble and there were 250 officers on duty. The previous season there'd been quite a bit of trouble with the Millwall fans brawling with the police for most of the match.
Oxford brought 18 during the 79/80 season, followed by 4 the season after...... and Carlisle were once 'backed' by 2 blokes in the Main Stand around the same time.
Im guessing the turnout at Plymouth and Carlisle might be about, err 2-300.
Sheff Utd once brought around 7/800 to Oakwell, and Donny Rovers once had less than 300 for a Fourth Division fixture. By comparison, Sheff Wednesday always bring loads.
