Portsmouth v Morecambe

The Sun reports that Morecambe have sold 4 tickets for their game at Pompey tomorrow.

I said in the match thread that they didn't really seem to give a toss when their bloke scored, it seems I may have been on to something.

What's the smallest away crowd you've been a part of?

The usual standard of "journalism" from The Sun then.

It's pay on the gate at Pompey so why would Morecambe fans buy tickets in advance?

I was in a "crowd" of 12 away to Hereford in the Sherpa Van Trophy about 25 years ago.

Ahaha, 12, that must have been brilliant.

Anyone else?

I can remember being at Plainmoor on Tuesday or Wednesday night back in the late 80's against Crewe and it being cold and snowy and there wasn't many in the pop side...probably a couple of hundred.

I remember games as a kid where there were less than 10 in the away end. I wonder what changed, we're meant to be in a recession yet the amount of people travelling around the country is increasing.

I think the lowest Ive been in was about 30, away at Darlo. We won 3-1, an Aggy hatrick. The next day I was sat with 40000+ at the Stadium of Light in a Tyne Wear derby. That was a weekend to remember!!!

95/96 season, away at Feethams, Darlington I counted 31 Gulls. Think it was the only away win of the season, 0-2

You're from the north, you definitely had help.

My record "low" was 55 gulls fans away at Chester. The original fixture got postponed on the Saturday, but somehow got rearranged for the Tuesday. Understandably not many people could get the time off, so just a hardcore few were there.

Highlight of the game was Lee Thorpe getting his marching orders for an inexplicable but awesome headbutt on Ben Davies

In recent times less than 50 seems quite rare but I've been to games away in the 70's and 80's where it was hard to spot virtually any of our supporters at all-Scunthorpe,Lincoln,Hartlepool and Doncaster spring to mind,but I can't remember the seasons involved. Even local derbies saw low followings away on occasions-one boxing day at Sid James Park in the early 70's, I recall there only being about 100 of us at most in the away end ;[with the Greek fans in amongst us as well.

Remember around 15 of us at Belle View Doncaster back in the 80's. We won 3-2 as well.
