The day Everton played in front of smallest PL Crowd ever

They used to say of the 1960s that if you could remember them, you weren’t there. The same principle also applies to Wimbledon’s home game against Everton on 26 January, 1993. The reason, however, is nothing to do with intoxication or spiritual awakening. It’s because there was barely anyone there to remember it in the first place. The match boasted a crowd of just 3,036, the smallest in Premier League history.

Anyone on here go to this?

...the game was at Selhurst Park. I wasn't there. I went the cup game when they beat us at Plough Lane. That ground was an experience.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Is the breakdown of the attendance anywhere? Like what % were Everton fans and is that ratio of away to home fans a record

 

[alanbuzz]

less than a 1,000 I'd say

we also took a similar number to the second league game at the old den
