Athersley Rec are hosting Charnock in the extra preliminary round of this season's FA Cup on Tuesday night, 7.45pm KO. Only six wins from the First Round proper But genuinely, if you've been gagging to go and watch some football, this is a great excuse to. And clubs like Rec need supporting. It's worth at least £1,600 if they get through in prize money, and I think they're allowed 500 fans in under current guidelines etc. Great club run by great folk. EDIT: 300 fans apparently
there’s a few steps of regulations, first is 150, then 300 etc, if they’ve not had a home game yet first one is capped at 150
All relative to the ground I think. I’m going to Harlow Town vs. Enfield on Tuesday and that’s a 250 capacity limit
Must admit when picking out a game (Newark FC, Newmarket FC and Peterborough North Stars were all considered) I did see Enfield Town and think back to this game. 30,000 Reds Fans going down to White Hart Lane for the replay and making it Tottenham's biggest attendance that season - I'm sure someone said more than the North London Derby that season.
Coming all over massive mate. 30,000 reds. ? . Think it was estimated 8-10000.( But The attendance was bigger than the London Derby. 32-33,000 ) circa. 35,500 if I’m right the biggest ever between a third division side and a non league side. I do believe spurs were having work done on the ground tbf and the Derby game attendance was restricted.
Popped over to Sheerian Park. I bet there was very close to the 300 allowed inside the stadium. Rec were comfortably beaten by Charnock Richard FC 3-1, but it was a good evening nonetheless.
283 apparently, which is huge for them. Shame that all three local sides were knocked out on the night though.
Only three sides of the ground were available but the atmosphere was electric. One if the best away days of my life, easily.
262 for Harlow Town’s 5-1 win against Enfield FC. Jamie Cureton up front for Enfield at 45 years old!
