Football Attendances

Are Boro the only club with a test attendance at a league game?

 

[Humpty]

No. Around 7 other league clubs had trial attendances.

Ah yes, found an article saying which teams.

So with 6 more months of lockdown Boro are set to have the joint highest attendance in the league with Norwich.

Every cloud.

Not only in the league but across the whole of UK football.

Apart from the Bournemouth game the lowest attendances I can remember for home games were around the 4K mark when Alf Duffield was Chairman, is that about right Erimus?
That was in the Ayresome Park days, I'm talking League games.
Remember being there on a old winter day all those years ago.
And yes I was at Hartlepool but excluding that one.

Brighton had 2,500 for a friendly.

Luton withdrew from the pilot and Hull were refused permission to hold a game at the kcom with spectators

Brighton had 2,500 for a friendly.

Would that count towards the season attendance figures?

Considering this is a pub argument type of fact, that they got two & half times as many fans for a friendly as anyone else got in the league, its almost better.

The lowest for a league game was the 3,364 sprinkled around Ayresome Park for the visit of Notts County in Feb 1985. And like the above mentioned Hartlepool game aswell as saturdays match, I'm proud to have been in attendance of all three.

I was one of them. One of worst games of football ever, during one of our lowest points. I think we were 2nd from bottom, and lost 0-1 to county who were bottom, and hadn't won for months. Freezing fooking day too.

On the plus side, that season hardened me to all the so called 'bad times' we've had since (which don't even compare)
