2,207 is the biggest away supprt for a league game that I can remember, can anyone recall a larger turnout?

Smiffy · Mar 29, 2005

I reckon the hoardes we took to Orient when we won 3-0, Neil Campbell (2) was slighty more?..

What a day that was!!.

dont forget the 3,000 we took to blackpool for webbs return!

Smiffy · Mar 29, 2005

3000?..

I thought it was about 800-900??..

Yesterday certainly was a very impressive turnout, it felt more like a home game.

It was weird that there were periods of the game played in total silence...never really experienced that before.

But when our two sides were chanting in unison it was superb...

3,000 - you sound like Tony Blair, he's rubbish with figures.

Norwich City on Boxing Day......they thought about 500 hundred would turn up but we filled a complete stand the stewards were overwhelmed trying to find seats for us all....

What a fantastic win that was in the snow, only tempered by the sad sight of Mike Lapper breaking his leg

BEDFORD BLUE · Mar 29, 2005

Largest away support I can remember apart from cup games at Derby, Sheff Wed, Everton etc.
Peterborough final game of the season, when 2 David Crown goals saw us promoted on a Sunny May Day. Will history repeat itself at a not so sunny Blundell Park on Saturday 7th May.

Only around 2,100 of those were true fans. Unlike those that went to Swansea in the LDV last season.

Two games against Orient spring to mind.
1991 1-0 win, this was the year we went up to the old 2nd Division. There was a rumour there was as much as 3000 there.
2001 2-0 win. Sold out all our seats and they had to kick out the Orient fans from part of their home end to fit us all in. There was even quite a few Southend fans in their home seats. Would say there was 2500 there.
