You can sense the worry in the minds of most of the people in the below photo. Joe Carr got killed at Dunkirk in less than a year later. Harry Hampson (still our player but not in photo) died of Septicemia caused by war wounds in 1942

Notice the size of the crowds. A lot of men had already been mobilized by that point, depressing attendance. There were lots of other things going on more important than sport. War preparations were going on all summer.

The League was abandoned after that set of fixtures.
 
My number plate and road tax costs me about $130 (£100) a year over here. I was never one to care back home, always thought it was a bit 'look at me' but I like to show my support of my team here and if anyone asks, delight in explaining the joys of following the mighty Blades from the Steel City 👊👊👊

Oh and this is an old picture and yes, my tabs are up to date now 👍

wednesday going down on the same day makes filbert street just a tad better, but to have 95 percent of a crowd away was special, and all the blades traffic on the A1 was insane

I reckon we took more to MK (circa 9,000??), but we were nowhere near 95% at either ground.
 
Always wondered how many Blades were at Leicester that day. Even the home end was filled with Blades. Same at Darlington.

crowd was around 12000 and darlington Attendances were disappointing and hovered around the thousand mark for much of the season. The average league attendance for 82/83 was only 1454, the lowest figure ever for Darlington as a league club.17 jun 2019on and it wasonly pumped up to 1454 with adding the more than full house
 



with regard to the number of blades at leicester crowd was 21134
leicesters previous 2 home games
Scan_20260320.webp were 8407 and v pompeuy and 9203 allowinf for away fans that is 7500 and 8200
take off 1000 for leicester fans , being generous means 11000 or so blades would be a logical summation

leicesters average gate 89 90 was 11716 , and thats higher because of the 21000 gate v us

I give up.

You talked about 95% at Leicester, and I chucked in MK.

You came back with some random shit about Darlington.

You then show some Leicester stats showing 32k against DirtyLeeds and lower home crowds against lesser oposition. For your incredulous '95%' comment to work, then in our crowd of 21k, it would mean only around 1k Leicester fans in the ground. Oddly, they then managed over 8k in home games against Port Vale, Plymouth, Oldham and Barnsley, which surely suggest that you are talking absolute tripe.

I think he meant 95% for the Darlington game, although it doesn't necessarily read like that.
