Well that wasn't good. Won 2-0 but no idea how, they had several chances to score and wasted them. Nasty cynical bunch of kickers though, and the 2 really needs to grow up!

Four yellow cards for the visitors, who were to say the least robust. Dire game, watched by a paltry 165, as you might expect given the events of the last week or so.
The best that can be said of that was we kept a clean sheet (just!) and get three points.

is 165 attendance a post war low for a league match? At least the Directors are looking to be remembered in the history of the club!

Yes it's the lowest home league attendance on record. Congratulations to all who were there to witness it.

A positive result and three points, the attendance of 165 must be a big worry to the board and the impact on their finances. The recent statement by the chairman on the clubs financial position and the amateur level of football he intends taking the club down, will have a effect on supporters and many have decided they have had enough. Last season we were a Vanarama North side and where will we be playing at next season and what level of football ?. A big well done to Snapper his staff and the players for carrying on and doing their best, when we have lost two experienced players in Hughes and Thomas .

That was the most depressing Worcester home match I’ve ever been to. 165 attendance, a dreadful opposition, an almost comical atmosphere. The worst part was the overwhelming stench of death and despair. We got to half time and I seriously thought about leaving. I’ve never done that before, not even when Allners side got stuffed 3-0 by Havant. Never even thought about it.
To quote Kenneth Williams, “Oh, what’s the bloody point?”.

165? How disappointing. I thought it was going to be less.

There have been several lower attendances for cup matches over the last 30 years or so. The previous lowest league gate v Waterlooville was in 1991. That season began with a title challenge and then faded out as the team was dismantled for financial reasons. Steve Fergusson and Brendan Hackett had been sold to Gloucester City a few weeks before the Waterlooville game for a combined fee of £27,500.

Thank you Niels, I would have been one of those 262, as were you most likely. Things were dire towards the end of that season, it had began so promisingly, and fell apart when huge holes were found in the finances, caused I believe by the maverick actions of Chairman Barry Connally, who acted outside of the Board, doing his own thing. It all sounds so familiar, its like deja vu all over again. The difference back then was, we still had a ground to play in, somewhere for supporters to still grab hold of some hope of better things to come, an asset for the bank to have some assurances that there was a future.
There's a fair old distance between 262 and 165 !

I was one of the 56-odd who turned up midweek to the Lane to watch the first team play Bolehall Swifts in some Cup Competition ages ago.

I think there must have been less than one hundred of us at that Cup game in the fog which went to penalties. I'm sure I was at the Bolehall Swifts game too, to support the lads of course

I was on the tannoy. As I was for the Bolehall match that spelled the end of Anton's City career after his row with George in the bar. |

Lows in cup competitions:
86 v Bolehall Swifts Interlink Express Invitation Cup 8 October 1997
114 v Highgate United Birmingham Senior Cup 27 January 1992
116 v Redditch United Worcestershire Senior Cup 19 July 2016
181 v Dudley Town Birmingham Senior Cup 19 October 1998
There was also a sub-200 crowd for an "away" game v Evesham in the WSC that was played at the Lane. Sadly I attended every one of these games.
