You must be thinking of when we played Manchester United. Lowe was still here then.

 

QPR (last home game under Lowe) 18,691

Charlton (first game in admin) 27,228

Crystal Palace (H) 23,220

Burnley (H)23,972

 

Whatever way you want to look at it between 5-9000 people came back to games once Lowe was gone, although obviously some of them were more in a want to help the club out sorta way.

Manchester United - 31,901

Nottingham Forest - 26,580

 

Charlton was £15 a ticket, Palace was kids for a quid and it was well known we had to get as many people as possible in for Burnley or there wouldn't be a club by now. Sadly it seems that actually watching Manchester United was more important than keeping Saints alive.

 

Whatever way you look at it thousand people didn't come back because Lowe had gone. They came back because it was cheap tickets and their last chance to save Southampton.

To be fair my friend, those two games and attendances count as one as they were linked intrinsically. Making the Man U game attendance 58,481
