Do we have to Annis ? :lol: Oh ok then worst supporters to Ninian park apart from QPR ? TBH most teams are poor because not many came but the best were Scotland 86 and Sheff Wed have been good. Chelsea 83. OR the ones that stand out for me was Ipswich for our final game at Ninian Park for the respectful way they behaved to send of NP unlike our Club and players that day. So hats off to Ipswich for that.

For the records, the lowest last seasons away crowd to the CCS was Peterborough, 182 fans, on a Tuesday night [09/02/10].
Highest [league] was Newcastle, [Sun 13/09/09], 2013, only slightly beaten by Leicester, play off semi, [12/05/10], 2021. QPR brought 685 fans to our stadium, on the 19/09/09. Five other teams brought over one thousand away fans last season, Forest [1010], WBA [1400], Swansea [1800], Reading [1444], & Sheffield Wednsday [1892].

You beat me to it Annis!!

I remember that game solely for there only being one away fan, stood on the Grange in the pouring rain.

If memory serves he was allowed to move to sit in one of the covered stands - cue loud applause. Well, loud-ish as there can't have been many home fans there either!!!

I would say the best away support i have seen at Ninian Park was on May 07, 1980, last game of the season, when Sunderland brought over 9.000 fans to NP. The whole old Grange end was a mass of red & white.

Wales v Scotland at Ninian Park in 1985 - must have been 12,000 scotland fans. Amazing for me anyway.

Club wise must of been Bristol at ninian park in 1947,51,000+ attended and one chap fell through the grange end roof.

That attendance still must be a record for third level of the football league surely

Halifax, an evening game in the 90's. It was during the fuel shortage / strike so not much petrol available for fans and coaches to travel. There were no Halifax fans at all. We were singing "is that all you take away?" to an empty Grange end terrace at the beginning of the game.

Then 10 mins into the first half, one bewildered Halifax fan on his own turned up and walked into an empty terrace to the delight and cheers of the Bob bank. He took a bit of abuse for a short while but was then clapped and respected for making the effort. Good banter throughout the game. I loved how the City fans kept referring to him as "Halifax" in all their chants.

They brought him into the enclosure where we were and 6 coppers stood around him.Also he'd come on a motorbike as he had his helmet with him.
