[stinkyblade]

following fulhams poor away support on tuesday, what is the smallest away support you have seen at the lane, and what is the smallest away support of blade fans and the biggest?????

 

[rotherhamblade]

[Sensiblade]

The official fans went in an executive box in the John street stand and about 30 more turned up who went in the lower Bramall lane stand

 

[S64 Blade]

Yeah Wimbledon is smallest i seen.

Crewe also have brought some terrible numbers too, counted about 60 once.


Smallest united away following i been at would be Gillingham away. It was a Sunday - midday - sky game!!! 400 travelled down.

Sunday 27th October 2004 13:00 kick off... there were a few more than 40 though

 

[S64 Blade]

where did you get 40 from?

where did you get 40 from?

Sorry... think I'm a bit blind today and didn't see the extra 0

Think smallest I've been in is Stockport away. They were still using the terrace and there was definitely enough room to conga

 

[S64 Blade]

Ah its ok

I went to stockport once too, think there was about 1,200 there though.

 

[stinkyblade]

crewe the season before last when we won 4-0 im sure there were only 20 odd.

Wimbeldon game for me

I can remember onme game cant remember which the away team scored and the fans ddnt know so we clapped to make em notice

 

[Sensiblade]

Just be glad we arn't playing against Scottish lower league teams.
They get 300 fans or less for most matches

Smallest away support HAS to be our last game at Brighton! I sneaked up a tree at the Withdean, and had to stay quiet as NO away supporters were allowed! ;-) Officially there were none, but I think a dozen or so got around the rules, one way or another..

 

[Tinoblade]

Why were supporters not allowed i cant remember this game

 

[essex blade]

went to luton town in the early 90s when away fans were banned . stood on lutons kop , when utd scored we found there were blades cheering all round the ground !

 

[Tingo Fandango]

Why were supporters not allowed i cant remember this game

No away supporters allowed. by FA rules, as there's no segregation possible. The ground is basically your average local leisure centre footy pitch!! There's a stand for about 500 attached to the leisure centre, and room for a couple of thousand on three other sides. Hardly possible to call them stands, as they're more like a few bits of scaffold, with some sticks & glue holding it all together.....

There's a load of trees on the bank behind the far side of the ground, & I climbed up one of these when the refused me entry.. I even tried to say I was a local, but got rumbled, so headed for the bushes, so to speak... he he he..

 

[Warnock=God]

The ICT game

 

[7UpJordan]

This ain't the smallest away following we've ever seen at the Lane, but I think only 56 Millwall fans turned up last season.

Do you mean the old Goldstone Ground?

Because Rotherham have got an allocation of 800 for the Withdean tomorrow and I was sure the Blades have taken fans down there for the last couple of seasons we were in the same league

The only reason I didn't go last season was because it was a Tuesday night and Foxy couldn't get away from work quick enough and I know Mousey has been before...

 

[Tingo Fandango]

Sorry Linz, you're right... It was the season before, definitely a weekend game anyway, as I headed down from London (where I live), unplanned really.. I think they had a ban on away supporters all that season, but maybe not.. Brighton police decision probably.

 

[S64 Blade]

I was going to say always been tickets allocated for Brighton for as long as i can remember.

Always seen the numbers in the programme for away following.

It's alright... it's usually me that has senior moments

 

[seanbeanstattoo]

i think the worst away following i've been in was norwich away a few years back, sunday live tv game when browny scored a screamer but lost 2-1. 300 turned up i think. i seem to remember cardiff away a few years back was poor, also on tv, 250 was official figure and we got slated for it by the pigs.

Wimbledon is the worst i've seen at the lane

Not sure about senior moments Linz... More like a life of C.R.A.F.T.... (Can't Remember A Fookin Thing...)
