Outnumbered at home

Just in the process of getting my ticket for Brisbane Roar vs Celtic, a pre-season match over here in July. Now by all accounts every exiled Celtic fan and Irishman in Australia is heading to Brisbane for this game and despite being at home Roar fans (such as myself) will be seriously outnumbered. There will be 52,000 in a sell out crowd and I'd say over 35,000 will be there to see Celtic.

Now I can't recall this ever happening at Roots Hall during my time but has anyone else ever been to a game where the home fans are in such a big minority compared to the away fans?
 
West ham friendly ? where we charged something like 15 quid for a ticket so most Shrimpers just let them pay through the nose
 
Wimbledon v Man Utd games at Selhurst Park were usually home crowds for the away team.

Wimbledon v Anyone at Selhurst Park!

As for Southend outnumbering home fans in recent seasons I can only think of the Barnet FA cup game where we had half the crowd.

The LDV home game against QPR we were probably outnumbered by QPR fans.
 
My old man saw Man Yoo win the title at Upton park in the late 60's/ early 70's and there was about 25,000 United fans there!
