Not the highest attendance of the day involving Merthyr! is that a first?

Probably not - but it would have been if we'd had a home match.

Looking at the attendance stats so far, only two clubs have managed higher attendances than our lowest this season (244). Bridport had 253 when they played us and Cadbury Heath 323 against us.

The lowest gate for any club has been 20 - and that has been the lowest at three different clubs. Which seems a bit of a coincidence and makes you wonder if it's a sort of 'official' lowest figure. What I mean is, perhaps there's a possibly unspoken rule that if any club has fewer than 20 people at a match they're allowed to round it up to that figure to go in the official records.

It wasn't even Elmore's highest attendance of the season which was 85. Now that could be a first. Perhaps the fact that it was such a fine day and that Tiverton were at home kept the locals away from seeing the champions elect.

Our attendances this year have been outstanding given the circumstances we found ourselves in and is a testimony to the fans of the club and the hard work that has and is going on to take the club forward.
Long may it continue!!
