Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!
by BlueinBosnia » Mon Sep 07, 2009 11:02 am
Following on from KK's thread:
Mine was an FA Cup replay against Sheff Weds I think, about 4 years ago. Don't think I ever went to a game under 22k at Maine Road.
Also, City Youth v Swansea.
Lots of foreign/lower league games smaller, too.
How many of the people on the site were at the Windscreens Shield match back in Div 2 (bet everyone claims to have been!)?

To my eternal shame I was not at the Auto Windy game.
So 4,914 in the Both Members Cup v Wimbledon Nov 1986.
Wimbledon had FOUR fans that night. The whole Platt lane End for them.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

I boycotted the Auto thingy but I will have been at the Full Members one so presumably that's mine. There were some pretty piss poor league attendances round about Machin's time so I should imagine my lowest league gate was that season. Below 20k I would think.

When they were rebuilding the Kippax me and my eldest sat in those first dozen rows they opened in the winter. Remember sitting in a couple of evening games in the sleet, open-air etc, Chelsea and Ipswich was it?
Either way that winter our attendances dipped to around 19,000, partly because of the rebuild and partly because we were pretty shite. Norm for an evening game that year I recall was around 24K. Crap.

Do pre-season friendlies count? Halifax still had all their main stand seats in cardboard boxes.
All we are saying is give Doug a pass.

If they do then Emley for me, about 15 or so years ago. About 500 in all, think more sheep in fields under the mast than fans at the game. Tiny stand and the rest stood round the side of the pitch.

About 125 in a FA Cup qualifying round game between Atherton and Hyde United.
Off-stopic because it is RL: I actually watched a Salford reserve game on a Friday night about 20 years ago when there were about 15 of us in attendance.

Was it Mansfield we played at Maine Road when The Mirror decided to publish a full page picture of the empty seats at Maine Road?
I think that was one of the smallest crowds I have been a part of for a competitive game.

Smallest City crowd was at a pre-season friendly in Holland in 1993 (I think) against a village team called Halsteren. No more than a 1,000 there. Most of the then first team had a run out and we lost 2-1 to a bunch of amateurs.....
