Lowest away crowd you've been at

I'm of the younger generation of Addick and the lowest I've witnessed was at Carlisle this season, think it was 313. But a friend of a friend tells me he was at Blackburn v Charlton in 1987 in the full members cup, he said there was him, and another 11 people there!!

Has anyone else witnessed low away attendances like this? Just curious...

    I travelled a lot in the day and I was always pretty proud that even in far flung places on wet cold days when we were really bad we still would manage at least 250.

    Mind you I didn't do the tin pot cup away games!

    surprisingly mine is not with charlton.

    i was in the torquay end at the vetchfield with 11 other fans in about 1996.
  • scrufflescruffle
    sheffield united last yr in championship- they may have announced it at 200 odd, but there was no more than 50 of us there
  • scrufflescruffle
    maidstone united had an away crowd of 7 for the members cup or whever it is called these days, this season
  • Friend Or DefoeFriend Or Defoe
    Northwich Victoria away, I think we took 150 there.
  • SparrowsLaneSparrowsLane
    I was at Goodison for the Full Members Cup game where we took 16. Its the coldest I've ever been at a match. I think we won the game on penalties.
  • nichorobnichorob
    This season, Carlisle, can't of been any more than 200 but well worth it.

    Had a ticket for the postponement at Hartlepool which we had onl7y sold 140 for according to Airman. Midweek game will be well under 50.

    Like Chicago, we always seemed to have a band of a minimum couple of hundred that went everywhere. Lowest for me was probably a rearranged midweek game up at Burnley, but there was still a couple of hundred.

    Blackburn v Charlton in 87 was the Final itself at Wembley. Think we had a little in excess of 12 there.

    Played at Danson Park a a few years back and no-one was watching (both managers were playing).
  • boggzyboggzy
    Ayrsome park towards the end of the season (nothing to play for) - this was maybe the season after we finished playing at Bristol Rovers when we could have made playoffs. Barren empty terrace, about 150 I think. Pretty sure we lost.

    Probably Carlisle away this season, although planning to go to Hartlepool and think we will take less than 300 there.

    had to be the lowest one i've been at. It was about 3/4 of a coach load with a few independant travellers. I remember the Old Bill stopping the coach as we pulled away from the ground because some of us were 'gesturing' to the Everton as we pulled away. I guess exuberance got the better of us

    ;-)

    Sheff Utd midweek mid 90's.

    No more than 80 in a stand that holds 6000

    Well I was there and I'm sure there were more than 16 of us. I've got the video somewhere, I'll try and dig it out and do a count!

    Remember one game at Fulham of all places in the late 80's where there didn't appear to be more than 500 there.

    I remember asking my pals 'where is everybody'?

    There was nothing like getting a coach in the Selhurst/Upton Park days at Well Hall and there was only 1 there, when you'd hope/expect at least 3/4! My heart used to sink!
  • SimonsenSimonsen
    27 at Boro in 1983 (I counted them).

    About 35 twice at Newcastle in 1983 and 1984.

    Loads of others around that time at about 60-100 at places like, Oldham, Barnsley, Grimsby, Shrewbury. You used to know ALL of the faces! Even London derbies at Chelsea, Palace, Fulham and QPR, we barely topped 1000. Can remember thinking we had a few at Brighton for the 7-0 defeat...probably about 1200. It was pretty sparce in those days but mind you, we were only getting 4-5k at home! (unless we played Chelsea!)

    I was at the Full Members Cup game at Goodison Sparrows Lane refers to , I think it was actually about 50 of us there . I think one of the reasons for a low turn out was that we were due there again in the league ten days later.

    We had a brilliant night out in Liverpool celebrating and got the 12.30 am home out of Lime Street ( there were late trains from the North in those days) . Happy days

    Burnley away 1996-97 league cup. A grand total of 67 Charlton in the away end. Most of us
    got free tickets to get in the the ground as a gesture from the directors.

    We won 2.1 with David Whyte netting the winner about 5 minutes from time.

    Blinding chip shop across the road though, cod, chips, mushy peas and gravy!!

    We then drove to Huddersfield via Halifax to go nightclubbing(still can`t work out why)
  • Charlton_CharlieCharlton_Charlie
    Middlesborough away about 4 Christmases (is that a word?) ago..Les Reed in charge, we got spanked (although they only scored two) and I counted 27 of us there...and I still got told off for standing...absolutely terrible day....
  • Tommy DowlingTommy Dowling
    I was at the Burnley game in 1996, funny I seem to recall the official away following was 64! Had a nice chat with Adrian Heath (then Burnley manager) before the game.

    I think it was the only time we won in the white/green shirts and for some reason we wore red shorts. The award for man of the match that season was a mountain bike which was presented pitch-side at the final whistle. Cue a very silly Burnley player attempting to ride it across the pitch towards the tunnel.
  • MacronateMacronate
    Mid to late 80's, Wimbledon at Plough Lane.

    Think we lost 4-1 (Leaburn might've scored). Weren't very many of them or us.
  • SimonsenSimonsen
    Lost 3-1. Mickey Bennett scored a consolation at the death. Think it was on a Sunday morning.
  • stackitstevestackitsteve
    Northwich Victoria for me, what a great day that was. Very long drive home :-(
