80ish. Tranmere away on a Tuesday night. One coach load + a few more. Bob Paisley in the stands casting an eye on Lawro who only went and got sent off. It was the second leg I think we went through 4-2 on aggregate.

Zenith Data Cup First Round @ Plymouth in November 1990.

When I look back it seems insane that I made that trip. I went to Newcastle for a postponed match a couple of weeks or so later.

Workington away on a Friday night in 1967 don't think the away support was in double figures. We lost! The manager archie macauley was so surprised to see us at Carlisle Station he gave us a lift in the team coach to Workington and gave us tickets for the match

Was at the Tranmere game, about 20 of us in the seats and less on the terrace, just a half empty coach up. Also at Plymouth and a Swansea game in a micky mouse cup in the 80s I think.

Stoke midweek away at what I think was Gerry Ryan’s debut. Think we sneaked a draw with Maybank scoring in a 1-1. Sad enough to drive up on my own for it and Stoke fans pushed my car for me when it wouldn’t start after the game. Seem to remember I managed to park right outside the Victoria Ground. Had a soft top car that got broken into in the early morning after I got back to Brighton.

No more than 20 Albion fans there in the away end.

Nothing as low as the above.

Bristol city away QF of JPT around 2007 time was 230 I think.

A 0-0 draw on a Tuesday in January v Burnley was high 200’s I think.

I was that pissed one that got removed by the stewards and was made at one point to stand on the empty terrace behind the goal like a naughty child (which I was probably acting like)

Leyton Orient October 1968.
A 3-2 defeat, there was no segregation, I was standing amongst the Orient fans, and it seemed like I was the only Brighton fan there!

I don't know if it was the lowest,but certainly the most disappointing considering the distance.
Highbury, early 80's hardly any brighon there at all ,might of had something to do with the violence at the Goldstone in a league cup game a season or two earlier

Barnet at home at Gillingham on Bonfire night.
That must go down as our lowest home league attendance playing away from Sussex, if you know what I mean 🫣

I think I was the only Albion fan at a game where we got promoted if that counts!

Tranmere v Reading in 2002. Reading fans didn’t appreciate my “We are going up” flag

Norwich away, Simod or Zenith Data cup, 1989. Lost 5-0 in front of between 40 - 60 of us. They still split us between the seats and terrace! Once the fourth went in we did the conga round the terrace, led by a bloke with Norwich City knickers on his head. Water balloon fight on the train home, walk through London (navigated by a very drunk Doc) in the middle of the night to get from Liverpool St to Victoria, train to Gatwick, two hours kip in the seats above check in, home.

One bloke still managed to get nicked (RIP Rotty).

I was at that one (the plymouth one). It was one of my exceedingly rare away trips.
