Vics vs Witton Tonight

[Atticus Finch]

Lowest for a Witton hosted match, which before tonight stood at 1,300.

Tonights estimated ratio is 7:1

According to 'A Team For All Seasons' - Ken Edwards' fantastic book about the 'real' Vics, not the sham club that currently operates under the same name from WP - on March 23 1966 the Derby game at TDF was watched by just 976 fans. This was on a Wednesday evening so presumably the Boxing Day game that had been scheduled for that day had been postponed and this was the re-arranged fixture.

Hence, last night's attendance would indeed appear to be the lowest league derby between the two clubs.

Think its a collection they have for ground maintenance

That says everything. Sad.
Edit ... it did, but now it's been deleted!

Meanwhile I note that the JR forum is buzzing with comments , and the WA forum is fairly indifferent to it as a derby "spectacle". Also ultimately a sad reflection on the state of affairs.

I spent a grand total of £42.95 the other night, not to bad considering all the names I get called

And who's pocket did that go in to Colin? Witton, JR, or the creditors?
