You need to react to some Scottish games, I can remember when there was 42 in attendance, I think it was Arbroath V another club (I cant remember who), that's the lowest I've ever known, I can remember when Newcastle played in front of 18,000 when Mike Ashley was Owner and Steve Bruce was Head Coach, there were thousands outside St James's Park and Sports Direct in Newcastle, protesting about the running of the club, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
I love the fact that you didn't include Tottenham as one of the established clubs in London :)
This classes as good support for Luton. 😂
Where are the rest of the London clubs? Fulham next door to the Thames, QPR , crystal palace, spurs. Did they get lost in the fog?
Queens Park still play games at Hampden Park and have played for many decades to very small ‘crowds’
Correct- I used to go to away games with Berwick Rangers at Hampden in the 80s & 90s when Queens Park's support was much smaller than it is now & the stadium capacity much larger, & one game had the official attendance as 150. That few spectators in a massive stadium gave an echoey atmosphere, although of course only one section of the ground would be open.
im german so i dont know why i got recommended this video but it was a good video thanks
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I would have presumed that such a record would have easily been beaten in the 2020-2022 era due to matches being held during lockdowns or in the aftermath of them.
No, massive difference.
@@gloomyvale3671 Are you saying there was a massive difference in the attendance numbers? As in there were still 'massively' more than 0.39% capacity filled at 'behind closed doors' matches during lockdown? This would work out at 'massively' more than 295 in the crowd of an Old Trafford match, or 'massively' more than 40 at somewhere at the opposite end of the scale like Kenilworth Road (though I do realise that Kenilworth Road wasn't a Premier League ground during the lockdown seasons).
Or do you just mean that there is a big difference in circumstances between completely unattended or heavily restricted attendance matches during lockdowns, and the match that set the record during a time when anybody was freely able to buy a ticket and attend had they wished to?
The Stockport *County* v Leicester City game at Old Trafford is the match that is normally quoted as the lowest attendance figure in the record books; it would be the correct answer in a TV quiz show.
correct 13. he mentions it at 2' 40"
@@OTIB1 Elaine uses the definite article 'the' which is used for things already referenced or identified (as opposed to the indefinite article 'a/an' for things being referenced or identified for the first time) which sounds to me that they were directly and intentionally referencing that part of the video, not being oblivious to it. I also think that if they did believe that they were telling us about a match that the video didn't mention then they would likely have quoted the date or at least year of the match, rather than leaving it out, which would imply that they knew we already knew it.
As for Elaine's actual point, whether or not it would be the correct answer in a TV game show would depend on the precise phrasing of the question, as they may phrase it carefully, as this youtuber did at one stage, to intentionally eliminate that game from being the answer.
Also it wasn't a league match but a cup replay.
Even back then;greyhound/speedway stadiums were NOT for watching football. Gateshead get few in their built for athletics stadium and not even the West Ham fans who turn up for their games remotely enjoy the London Stadium-relegation for West Ham would be very interesting-especially if they didn't get promoted back-40% capacity ? If that ? And if the council weren't gifting the ground to them ? Thames' failure was down to not playing at a football ground.
Like the Gers top u have on
Thanks! It's the Rangers third kit from this season.
The game was played in thick fog and was refereed by Stanley Rous (yes, the late President of FIFA). Thames won by a goal to nil.
Interesting! Love hearing more information like this.
Good video - just subscribed 🎉
Where have you been!
It has been a while for sure! :)
Covid crowds had lower attendances.
One hundred and twenty thousand begs the question why didn’t West Ham united move there
That would have been on all-standing terraces though, and estimates of how many could safely fit in such terraces were on the ambitious side, to say the least, until various major disasters in the 1980s caused a move to all-seater stadiums and more realistic maximum stadium capacities.
THAMES AFC - Sounds like a cool name.
Agreed!
