Accrington Stanley & Gateshead attendances?

[redhel]

Hi

Accrington Stanley and Gateshead AFC played each other 24 times in the 3rd Division North between 1946/47 & 1957/58.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find the official attendances of these games. Just can't seem to find anything online...am I missing the obvious?

From my Soccerdata booklets:-

Gateshead v Accrington 25.12.46 - 3540.
Accrington v Gateshead 26.12.46 - 5099.

Aaah, the good old days of Xmas Day & reverse Boxing Day fixtures. I believe one year one player played for one club on Xmas Day, then got transferred to their opponents and played in the reverse fixture for their opponents on Boxing Day.

Accrington v Gateshead 11.10.47 - 7265.
Gateshead v Accrington 28.2.48 - 7262.

Gateshead v Accrington 4.12.48 - 5916.
Accrington v Gateshead 30.4.49 - 3564.

Accrington v Gateshead 29.10.49 - 5636.
Gateshead v Accrington 18.3.50 - 6851.

That's my lot. Hope it helps.

Hey, I know how tough it can be to find old attendance figures like that. I had a similar issue with some historical football stats I was after. I ended up digging through old newspaper archives and reaching out to the clubs directly. Sometimes local libraries or historical societies have the records too.
