Typical Town - playing in the Football League Trophy and losing to a non-league team!

Quoted from Barrattstander
I think for a league game it was the 1,833 poor sods, including myself, who turned up on May 3rd 1969 to see us lose 2-0 to Brentford, whilst at the same time there was live Home International football on the TV, a rare occurrence in those days.


That's the lowest attendance at a league game and I was in the Pontoon that day.

Off top of my head, 1131 of us there, 1-1 draw, a youth player scored from what was a cross which ended up going in top corner by accident, lost on pens...


What memories. Paul Ashton. Steve Slade (no relation) randomly started up front and Tony Crane hit a penalty halfway to Scunthorpe.

All a matter of decimal points, sure I was there once with under 1.012 thousand then another day against Rochdale or some other team with over 54.000. Was probably drunk though.

On the subject of cup games, we also had the FA Cup replay against Carlisle when G.Jones scored one of my favourite BP goals.

I think there were sub 2000 there that night. Seem to think they only opened the Findus and the Osmond?

You must have been stood next to me then,


This season we have not had a league gate under 4,200 yet,

I wonder how long that will last.

I don't know exactly how many it was but the lowest gate for a first team game is probably the one against Boston in The Lincs Cup one season. I think there were only about 300 or so there to witness Paul Futchers only ever goal for us.

One day that ball will meet JPP's penalty at Wembley ball somewhere in the universe and form a new galaxy.

I do remember that as one of the highlights of that night in a way. We had that bizarre goal but hitting the roof advertising on the Pontoon off the ground is something that cannot be taught.

I went to that one and remember vividly how low I thought we'd sank!  Little did we know at the time..........
