One for the statisticians amongst you. Just to settle an argument, can someone tell me the lowest ever home gate since being at Blundell Park.
Thanks.

Without looking through the stats......I would think that the LDV game against Morecambe in the mid 2000s comes close.........was it around the 500 mark?

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.

Can't remember when but I have been there on a cold night in something like the Freight Rover with under 1,000

Yep....your right....970 for a Sherpa Van Trophy game in December 1987.


Pretty sure there would have been less for Lincs Cup games against the likes of Spalding, Grantham etc.

Correct, that was the lowest for a league game.

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.

I can remember a night league game against Kettering a few seasons ago when I think there was only about 2200 there, and the FA Trophy games v Coalville and Redditch when there were little over 1000 there. Obviously most Lincs Cup games were even lower.

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...
