WystonRam Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 10 hours ago, Brailsford Ram said: Sorry about the above, I misread that you were asking about AWAY attendances. Wimbledon brought the lowest number of away fans on 25 November 2002 in Division One. Derby won 3-1 in front of 25,597. Wimbledon fans were boycotting all games in protest against the proposed move to Milton Keynes. They brought just 23 fans who boycotted the boycott. We were able to count them in the South Stand where away supporters were located then. But I will accept correction to my figure if VDMH and Angie counted differently ? For that game they were relocated to the Pirelli corner, as it was then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarterForTen Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Depends if the count is done at kick-off or final whistle. If it's the latter, then ANY game involving Forest is a contender. Those Reds like to beat the traffic don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Seem to remember Wimbledon, whilst they were in the process of becoming MK Dons, brought so few they put them in the lower tier of the South West corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessie1 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 When Blackpool fans were boycotting their games, I recall they brought an away following in the low tens - it may have been the game in April 2015. We sang anti-Oyston songs which contributed to the later support we got from ‘Pool fans during our struggles. Unless I’m mis-remembering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dordogne-Ram Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 1 hour ago, BaaLocks said: I thought 13 was the lowest recorded gate for a league football match, and it involved Stockport but not Derby, even if we did play a part in the bigger story. Here is what the Independent had to say about it (used to love their sporting Q&As that you could send in). Why did 13 spectators watch the game between Stockport County and Leicester City in 1921 - the lowest crowd for a Football League match? A. The reason for the lowest "crowd" for a Football League match of 13 for Stockport County v Leicester City on 7 May 1921 was that the hosts ground at Edgeley Park had been closed by an FA order following crowd disturbances. The fixture was moved to Old Trafford and immediately followed a match between Manchester United and Derby County. The unlucky 13 were those who had paid to enter between the two games to witness a 0-0 draw, along with the estimated 2,000 already present. Thanks for the clarification, I knew there was Stockport County involvement somehow. BaaLocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, they gave the unsold tickets in the away end to school local school kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England Ram Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I was actually talking about that Wimbledon game with my lad on Tuesday night when he mentioned the low attendance in the away end. I always thought they only brought 12 fans, but the 23 sounds about right. As someone else mentioned, their celebration for the goal was so weird seeing so few in the South West corner ‘celebrating’. If memory serves we lost that game 0-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC a load of Derby fans went into their seats and sang their songs with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
