Smallest Away Support We've Ever Seen

Who's the smallest away support you've ever seen? Burnden included...

And whats the smallest support you've ever seen us take to a match?

 

Seeing as i only went to the one burnden park game, i'll use that... i saw no Charlton fans for the last match at Burnden... and as for our following i'll say Fulham, carling cup a few year back...100 if that there..

Charlton reduce their ticket allocation so more Bolton fans could see the final game. Their was about 100 iirc. Smallest away crowd for me was Wham a few years back, right after Munich i think? Less than 100 there.

Remember counting Southend fans in the away end once at Burnden (not the embankment, but that side bit), in fact they may have just taken the seats on this occasion for some reason

 

From my spot in Manny Road South I counted 26

One of the European teams we played,it may of been Aris that brought half a dozen!

Aris brought loads IIRC, made a decent noise too.

Plovdiv maybe ?

Yeh you'll have to explain...

Aye they only took that temporary seating stand behind the goal. 200 max. Think it was Rabotnicki that brought 12.

Darlington, league cup, think there was only 3,000 overall...

Swansea at burden. 1988 I think. There were 5 of them stood around the base of the floodlight on the embankment. Could of been a few in the paddock, but don't recall seeing any.

Swansea had a couple of hundred at least, one of them was quarter-caste and getting a lot of abuse.

 

How the fuck anyone can forget that Aris support so soon is beyond me. You need to lay off the ganja.

 

I can't remember anyone bringing less than Braga's 25 or so, even then Mastodonians had 75ish.

For a season in the late 80's they published the away following figures in the programme, the lowest I remember was Torquay with 97.

 

George could verify this but I understand he may be busy on a Friday lunchtime.

Two came from Cambridge once - in the end, they let them in our end as it was pissing down.

Swansea was first game I went to on my own. At 8 year old. WTF my parents were thinking I don't know.

Slightly off Topic.....but Massive City, had a home crowd of 3007 in 1998 against Mansfield, and 450 were away fans.

 

You will find that City fans will not remember this.

Also, some time in maybe the late 70's, Liverpool took 14 to West Ham away.

Didn't buy them in 91/92 then?

 

Swansea had 47 supporters in the away end at Bolton in 91/92.

 

Torquay brought 64 with them that season.

Reading 92//93 at Burnden, had about 50 I think

Charlton last game at Burnden................

which, as has already been discussed, was done as a favour to Bolton fans so that more Bolton could enjoy the last match at Burnden. Charlton are to be applauded for their stance rather than derided for it.

How many did Grimsby bring at the Reebok when it was ?5 for all tickets? That wasn't many but no were near as few as Braga.

Smallest Away following I have been in was Man United in 1995 when they gave us an Official allocation of nil ( as the ground was being rebuilt ) There was about 30 of us reasonably close together in the Main Stand Corporate seats who tried to get a song going ... not sure how many others were dotted around but could not have been more than 100-150.

 

Smallest Wanderers following I know of us taking is 2 - thats from talking to Ruth Crawshaw who went to the friendlies played in Japan a couple of years back.

 

At Burnden prior to installation of an Away segregated area in about 1976 ? I can remember games in the 3rd division in 1971/72/73 when the visiting team scored and there was just silence .

Swansea had a couple of hundred at least, one of them was quarter-caste and getting a lot of abuse.

Point well taken Carlos!It would of been Braga then!I was in NSU and it looked as though they only brought a handful!

Was it not Darlington?

Last game at Burnden- Charlton ended up with the temporary stand at the Embankment End (just in front of Normid). I don't think they filled it, but that stand held around 250. From what I can see on the DVD, there were probably about 200 Charlton fans in that stand.
