Always could pull a crowd the Albion. Just goes to show how much this club has under achieved.

Yep, not seen the away end look so empty in a while. Still the holiday season though, crowds will probably improve.

Yep - the lowest since April 21 2012 against Birmingham - when there were 20,594

Looked half empty
Many fans would have been on the wrong side of Shoreham and turned back.

Anyone know why a local derby, between 2 pretty decent size clubs would draw such a low attendance? I'd have thought that game would be a sell out.

Me too. I thought ST's and 1901 were 20K and change but could be wrong

When you say "took" then that is a little misleading. The "had" 5000 at Reading but when you factor is 1. They are a Northern club and London / South East has seen many from the North move here and 2. Leeds were successful in the 1970's and created a national following during that period. As such, of that 5000 includes the fans who have only been to Leeds on a day trip but who are a part of sat the "Basingstoke Whites" or whatever.

That, and I would imagine a fair few people didn't make it due to events at Shoreham. I think it's been documented that at least three of the Seagulls Travel coaches didn't get through. There must have been more in their own cars who gave up trying too. Somebody mentioned the park & ride sites weren't as busy as usual.
