Post by claretburns » Mon May 17, 2021 10:10 pm

No cheating. But can you name the last home competitive game which had a 3,500 attendance or less?

QPR was one I thought about but I’m not sure it was that low without looking it up.

Burnley v Luton 2007 at the end of the destroyers 18 game run of fruitless and depressing cotterball. If more than 3.5k idiots were still willing to watch that dross then I would be very shocked

Can only think it could have an Auto Windscreens game and the last time we played at home in that competition was 98/99.

If it is later than that then looking at our opponents in the league cup late 90s early 2000s possibly Rushden and Diamonds or Hartlepool. Will go for Rushden & Diamonds as they probably brought no more than 15

It's not Rushden & Diamonds but you're right with Hartlepool, League Cup 1st Round 1st Leg in 2000 had an attendance of 3,319.

I thought it was Plymouth at the end of a 19 game winless run. Mcveigh scored a couple I think.

Yes Plymouth ended it and Luton was at the lowest ebb. You make a good point though because after the Luton game even less should have bothered with the Plymouth match

Seem to recall a grim defeat in the early rounds of the league cup under Cotterill with the Turf pretty much empty. Anyone? Apologies if it's already been mentioned.
