Seem to remember also it was probably the least Town fans I can ever remember at a game. Probably less than the Gretna 15 that Thursday night. Under the cosh for 89 minutes and their fans got more and more irate as the evening went on. Happy days.

The Gretna 15 sounds like a horror film.

Never mind The Gretna 15, watch out for The Crawley 11 !!! Very scary.

Oooh, and add Nuneaton to the list of pleasant afternoons out.

There was also the Dover 11 in March 2013 (Monday night)

Wasn't there a B'ham Senior Cup march at Coleshill with a total crowd of about 37 in about 2010-11? (or am I imagining it?)

Likewise, the first match after Martin o'Connor was announced as manager was a Worcs Senior Cup match (strangely on a Saturday!) at Malvern where the total crowd was about 70. Damned cold too, as I recall.

Im talking mid to late 80's with Rocester. Just remember being surrounded by them and they were bloody horrible!!

I was at Chesham in the dark days of 2011, when we last got relegated (and we were awful).

I was on my own behind the goal, and think there were about 6 Yeltz fans there in total. That's based on about how many cheered when we had our only shot on goal of the whole match.

I had a good chat with their keeper during the game, as just about all the action was down the other end.

Going to try to attach a photo capturing the magic ...

Poll you've reminded me of another match in those dark days and it was either Chesham or Cheshunt. There were just 4 of us - Roger & Dave (of course!) , John Cooper and myself.
After about 20 minutes it was abandoned through fog. We really had to insist on a refund to one of their officials, who was also on the Southern League committee.

The three recent ones that come to mind for me are Coleshill Town (a) 37, Kidsgrove (a) 59 and Newcastle (a) 70. Kidsgrove you could hardly see the ball due to the terrible floodlights and wet pitch.

Love these recollections! More please.

The most amazing thing about all this talk of 4s, 6s, 11s and 13s etc, is that Roger and Dave featured in every single one of them!
Yet i can actually remember being at TWO away games in 1992 when they were not there. Dover on a Thursday and Atherstone (last game they missed!) on a Tuesday. Just not good enough.
