PARK LIFE:
THE attendance of 3,126 for the home game against Leyton Orient was Athletic's lowest for a league fixture at Boundary Park for nine years.
You have to go back to the January 23, 2001, for a lower figure. Under manager Andy Ritchie, Athletic beat Luton 2-0 thanks to goals from Paul Rickers and John Sheridan in front of a paltry crowd of 3,011.
The Orient game also hosted the second-lowest crowd for any league game involving Athletic this season, with only the away fixture at frost-bound Hartlepool (2,634) drawing fewer spectators.
