Southampton hoping for bumper crowd against Huddersfield

SAINTS will be hoping for another bumper St Mary’s crowd this weekend after attracting one of the highest third division attendances of the last 38 years on Boxing Day.
A remarkable 30,890 packed into the stadium to witness the 3-1 win over Exeter recently.
The Daily Echo can reveal that only four clubs have managed a higher attendance in the third tier since the start of the 1972/73 campaign.
They are the two Sheffield clubs – whose massive crowd was for the cross-city derbies in the same season – Leeds and Manchester City.
Saints’ Boxing Day crowd was the 14th largest in the third tier since August 1972.
FA Cup heroes Leeds have had six League One crowds higher than Saints had against Exeter – the largest of which was the 38,256 who watched them beat Gillingham in May 2008.
Their second largest attendance was the 36,723 for the Yorkshire derby with fellow promotion hopefuls Huddersfield last month.
And it’s against Huddersfield this Saturday that Saints are again hoping to pack the fans in to potentially give Alan Pardew a financial boost in the crucial January transfer window.
The highest ever third division crowd remains – and certainly almost will – the staggering 49,309 who saw Sheffield Wednesday thrash cross city rivals United 4-0 on Boxing Day, 1979.
The Owls only had 11,530 for their previous home game, and only 13,287 for the one immediately after.
Just as remarkably, the return game at Bramall Lane in April 1980 was watched by another 45,000 plus gate!
A crowd of 45,156 was some 25,000 higher than any other third division attendance at the ground that season.
Wednesday also packed in 32,734 for the last game of that promotion winning season, against Carlisle at Hillsborough.
Aston Villa had held the record for the highest ever third tier crowd – 48,110 against Bournemouth in 1972.
Villa do hold the record for the highest third division average in the last 40 years.
They averaged 31,952 during their promotion winning season in 1971/72.
Among their crowds were 48,110 v Bournemouth, 45,953 v Walsall, 45,567 v Chesterfield, 41,518 v Bristol Rovers and 37,582 v Torquay.
Away from home, their game at Notts County was watched by 34,208 while 20,305 were at Bournemouth.
Prior to that, Notts County averaged over 34,000 when they won promotion from the third division south in 1949/50.
Their highest crowd was 46,000 against city rivals Forest.

I live near Bournemouth and i don't think the weather has been as bad as it is in Southampton, does it look likely the game will be off? Weather doesn't look too great for the weekend either at the mo.

Seriously, is this something to be proud of? All this does is emphasise just how far we've dropped. We're in a league well below our capabilities.
But we know all that.... let's not dwell on it. I will break out of my Grumpy Shell now. Bring on the Hudds game! :-)

I think the extra striker we need is easier to find than the 2/3 quality defenders
It was good on Boxing day to wander around outside with so many people about but we/they didn't make enough noise inside The Grecians little corner were far more vocal We want someone to gee the crowd up from 15 mins before KO Use the PA and screns to get it going and an MC who has some personality

Really pride inducing walking around the front of SMS on Boxing day and seeing all those Exeter fans taking photo's of Ted and the stadium, and they were a real friendly bunch too, the atmosphere will improve the higher we go....I hope ;) COYS!! sw=drug-week!!!!

Like the idea of Elliott and Freddie, as well as Lee Barnard. No ex Skates please, but if he does come here, then lets hope he puts his heart and sole into it.
Whoever we get, it is and will continue to be a hell of a ride.

This weather will also slow down transfers as, to state the bleedin' obvious, travel is difficult, so medicals etc will be delayed. Could lead to some gazumping as well, if agents continue to tout their players around whilst waiting for transfers to complete.

Transfer wise I would love to see us sign at least two players whether that is Freddy Eastwood and Elliot Ward or Lee Barnard and Jose Fonte or even Vincent Pericard. My gut tells me that I think we will sign Jose Fonte and Vincent Pericard. But I would love us to sign all 5 really but not to sure about V.P because of Pompey, might just be there for the money, but I'm sure A.P will get him up for it. We do need a Centre Mid though Chris Lines please.
Looking forward to tomorrow, day off school, finished my homework today so a relaxing day at home, hopefully hearing some good news about Saints transfer wise and some bad news with Pompey money wise.
Love it!

I went to fareham last sunday god knows why, and I kept trying to say out loud how I hated pompey, just so they would know I was a "scummer!".. I am proud to be a saint..pompey fans are vile!

Not sure that we are a "walrus of love" type club! Looking forward to seeing what the new signings will be though. (Checked out your images, by the way: respect!! What were they taken on? I've been thinking of getting a DSLR, but not sure of what to do, I still have an old Nikon FE!)
Defo Thin Lizzie on the the music front: we'll be singing " The Boys are back" in the CCC and then the Prem!!

Wow!
Really?
Amazing!
How many years of specialist training and experience does anyone think it takes before a sports journalist can come up with that sort of searing analysis.
Or was it just a lucky guess?
Perhaps Simon Carter would be kind enough to tell us what games Saints do not want bumper crowds to attend this season?
Only I have a season ticket, so I’d like plenty of notice so I can plan a worthwhile alternative to watching a game I’ve already paid to see.

Resigned myself to the fact that I won`t be working for a couple of weeks. (Bricklayer)
The match looks uncertain for Saturday, forecast for cold easterlies, temperature barely getting above freezing.
As was pointed out in an earlier post, the pitch may be playable but the walk up to the stadium may be deemed unsafe because of lying snow by the Health and Safety bods, it does make you wonder how we survived the 1970`s - 80`s and earlier, without these H&S bods holding our hands?
All quiet so far on the transfer front but wouldn't be surprised to hear some news before weekend.
As has also been pointed out earlier, if the game was postponed, it would help the players recovery and rest up a bit, and if AP does manage to bring in a couple more new faces, it will give them a bit more time to bed in on the training ground........

The hardware shop had studs to bang into the soles of shoes that would stop you from sliding while we played footy with snow goal posts... lol until the snow melted then you get 30ft out of a running skid.
Just watched what the Japanese have been doing with the snow.. what a tourist attraction.. building and magnificent ice sculptures.
Come on Paul get the kin making ice bricks and build something brilliant.
We'll all go nuts with no game on Saturday..
Gym time for the team I guess and much needed therapy for some aches and pains.... Better not hear any stories of the lads in night clubs.. those stories seem to have dried up under Pards leadership.. the pride has returned.

Nice and quiet tonight, suppose they must all be out making snowmen. Hope Saturdays game goes ahead, I mean health and safety down close Tesco's down when It snows, so why sms. Like the idea of Elliott and Freddie, as well as Lee Barnard. No ex Skates please, but if he does come here, then lets hope he puts his heart and sole into it. Whoever we get, it is and will continue to be a hell of a ride. COYR

Well beckford has put in a transfer request. Wonder if he will come to us mmmm
Let's get real he wants to go to Newcastle, demand Premiership wages because they look certs to go up this season.
On the reverse side of the coin Leeds without Beckford may just faulter and they may not be certain of going up!
