What's the lowest attendence you've seen?

[cambridgeshire canary 7,940]

Because I think the fake Dons may have set a record. (And no, the Covid seasons don't count 😉)

 

[Robert N. LiM 6,448]

Still too many people there.

[Satriales 1,052]

BBC sport suggests att. was 5903.

[The Raptor 1,591]

At what level? I've been at non league games with less than 100 people a few times.

For Norwich? For a competitive game I'd guess league cup 5000. Particularly back in the days when the early rounds were over two legs.

In the league I'm sure I went to a few 12 or 13000 games in the early 90s. But I can't be bothered to look it up!

[Robert Ketts Yellow Army 39]

I went to a reserves match in the 80s and there was literally one person in the Barclay, singing OTBC 

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,076]

Norwich v QPR....Simod/Zenith Data Systems cup circ '91 was around 8k..seem to think that was a record low for a 1st team match at carrow rd (outside of covid)

So not really an unusually low crowd at all.

Yeah, but that doesn't get the clicks does it?

Ironically I remember when Wimbledon fans were boycotting (2003 time) and they brought about 30 fans to carrow road (don’t know exact figure) 

[Hissing Sid 160]

I was at this top flight game in 1987, the night John Fashanu ended John O'Neill's career.

In March 2003 Wimbledon brought just 66 fans to CR.

The following season they brought even fewer [54] but this was at the time when the South Stand had been demolished & the capacity for Away fans was 300.

In Nov 2002 City played Wimbledon at Selhurst, with over 70% of the gate being Away fans (2,842 Canary fans).  This may be the highest % of an away gate that City fans have constituted.

Was that when we were rebuilding the south stand? I remember most teams got the corner section for their fans while it was being rebuilt but they didn't bother for Wimbledon and they got the two rows of temporary seats in front of the construction site.

The 15,000 out of 22,000 at Watford in April 1972 must have ran it close in percentage terms and sticks in the memory much more.

An evening with Robbie Savage at Carrow Road?

Even the year before it looked almost empty. Commenter claims there's "three thousand here two thousand from Norwich"

Numerous games in the mid 90’s you could basically sit where you wanted. Attendances were quite poor until they picked up again for the Worthy play off campaign

November 2002?

I think we already covered that ["In Nov 2002 City played Wimbledon at Selhurst, with over 70% of the gate being Away fans (2,842 Canary fans). "]

But add another pointless post to your total, by all means.

Bit rude given I was simply being polite and responding to your post.

The lowest post-war for NCFC league was sub 3,000 in mid 1980's at Carlisle. I wasn't there though was for very similar crowd at Leyton Orient in March 1985 which was recorded as the then lowest just a few months earlier.

Carlisle 2,907 October 12, 1985. League Division Two.

Just updating here to say not claiming to have been at this match, just adding detail to Essex's post after looking in a Carlisle archive.

There may of been others in the secret tunnel which led from the south stand to the Barclay. By the way although I’ve never seen it, I’ve met someone who used it and he was a reliable witness. 

[TheRock 192]

One of our Premier League seasons under Lambert/Hughton, Wigan only brought about 180 away supporters to Carrow Road on a Saturday 3pm match, the Barclay spent most the afternoon taking the p1ss and singing "did you come on a skateboard" 😂 

I dont think the exact figure would be findable on the internet but it might been published in the Matchday Programs - i'll have a look back at my copies at some point.

 

TBF Wigan have never been well supported, it's a Rugby town, and I think Warriors had a match that day.

The south stand was definitely very taken down at that game, nice one

That’s the one! 3-2 I think it was 

[Lazza 75]

I watched my local club Finchampstead Town once and was the only fan. I only stayed for the 1st half as it started chucking it down and there is no cover, so you could argue that the attendance was 1/2 😄

[......and Smith must score. 1,637]

I was at St James' Park for our last game of the 1977/8 season when Newcastle were relegated. The attendance of 7986 was the lowest since before the First World War but they managed to beat that the following year when for the last home game just 7134 turned up to see them play the mighty Wrexham.

Deffo some 12-14,000 games back in the latter 1990's. Mid week middle of winter when there were still more casual tickets available than season tickets. My U16's season ticket was less than £30 then (no this is NOT) and invitation to certain people to bring season ticket pricing up! 

I think I may have gone to a sub 10k cup game but not 100% sure.
