LOWEST ATTENDANCES!
The following are all attendances under 4,000 at The City Ground since the end of the First World War, when we have better records of the crowd numbers.
Most of these are from the 1930s when we were in the (old) second division, but the dubious honor of the record is from 2006 when only 2,031 fans braved a Tuesday evening game against Brentford in the League Trophy 2nd round game.
