1990 as well at Rochdale was a large following. Gilbert got the winner and Keith Alexander (sub) was subbed by AB


Yeah not often you see the sub being subbed but to be fair he had come on fairly early to replace an injured tillson (I think) and had missed an absolute sitter. Was a good following that day.

Quoted from Abdul19
Kidderminster 15/16 was decent. 1700 IIRC?

How many were at Macc to see us drop out the automatic promotion spots in 2006?


Didn't kiddie give us half the ground that day? I also seem to remember our away following outnumbered the away support for all the other 11 away teams put together that opening day which is pretty incredible!

Seem to remember Halifax in 89/90 moving their supporters to the away section to accommodate the big town following, at least in one stand, is that right? I think we ended our 7 game winning streak that day with a 2-2 draw.

Quoted from Heisenberg
How many went to that infamous Stoke game in '91?  I didn't go, but there must have been plenty there.  I think there were supposed to be loads at that Chesterfield end of season game early-90's too......






I went to both. For some reason I've got 3500 in my head for each game.

Something else that would be interesting is to date how many fans have we taken to how many opposition have come to BP for LEAGUE games this season. I would suspect that our away numbers are probably double those coming here.

The 4 that are most vivid in my mind have been mentioned. Stoke (90/91), Huddersfield Boxing Day (blatant lester penalty),  forest (93) and Halifax with the burger van and the Tony Rees overhead

Another game that springs to mind is Rotherham (midweek I think). Seemed a lot there.

Big away followings in non league were the kiddy game and alfreton a couple of times

It’s funny isn’t it, as well a few big away followings at Notts County for instance, I also remember some relatively small followings there too.

The numbers at Donnie were impressive but as an away game it was a compete damp squib in my view. Awful game, awful performance and just seemed to be a bit meh.

We’ve had some 2000+ attendances at a fair few places...although the smaller followings tend to stick my head...Exeter last year, Plymouth (Bignots finest moment) for instance.
