Does anyone know if there is a list online of all the home attendances to all of our games?I overheard some Baggie in a pub in town proudly claiming we only got 8,000 for their game in 1982/83 - tried to check it out but was unable to find it listed anywhere.

I was one of the 8,456 against Southampton on 01/02/86 which was actually a Saturday afternoon game, mostly notable for Dave Ismay getting the bird from a sparsely populated Holte for his ‘get behind your team’ speech. Heaven knows what Tony Barton made of it who returned as part of Saints coaching team.10-12,000 was commonplace that season, including a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal watched by 10k for another Saturday 3pm game.Another few big sides had a few shockers:Spurs vs Blues, old div 1, 16/04/86 - 9,359Chelsea vs Walsall in old div 2, 04/10/88 - 6,747
