New stadium effect

The Dell was a ground famed for its proximity to the pitch as well as its oddly shaped stands. Despite its fame, it was woefully small with a capacity of just 15,000. The biggest surprise was that it took Southampton until 2001 to build a bigger ground.

Attendances more than doubled overnight, with the Saints now attracting more than 30,000 to home games. The 10 year improvement of 69% saw the average rising from 14,935 to 25,306.

The attendance increase was achieved despite a large downturn in form on the pitch as Southampton lost their place in the Premier League and spent two seasons in League One. Their average league position fell from 15th at The Dell to 29th at St Mary's.
