Despite a 16th place final finish, the Clarets were 12th highest in terms of crowd numbers with an average of 157 supporters coming through the gates of the Haydon Whitham Stadium.

An average of 9 more spectators would have jumped us up ahead of Eastwood and Melton and into the top 10, something to strive for in 2026/2027.

Former Southern League clubs Grantham (457) and Gresley (369) were by far and away the best backed.

Interestingly we finished ahead of champions, Boston Town (135).

Tuesday 12th August was the biggest home attendance when Blackstones visited for a warm early season derby. 275 was the crowd on that occasion.

102 was the smallest gate of the season. Both times the visitors were clubs from quite some distance away. Heanor Town and Eastwood CFC were those teams.

It only remains to thank the fans who stuck by us again last season, wish them a nice summer break and say how much we look forward to their support again next season.
