I've given out stats at various times when people have trotted out the "Only 12 Albion fans use NSC" and similar shite in the past.
In order to answer the question, you need to ask another one:
How many Brighton fans are there?
(Which, of course, leads to another question: how do you define what a fan is?)
I work with an NSC lurker who has never worked out that I am "Lord B".
But I access NSC from at least 4 different computers and my Iphone, do they all county as unique visitors?NSC gets, daily, more unique visitors than the Albion get at home games.
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that most of those are Albion fans.
But, as above, how many Albion fans are there? What is an Albion fan?
Some of those unique visits may be bots and spiders as opposed to 'real' people. Also, as we know, a lot are rival fans or people who've never even heard of Brighton but who've come here following a link or a search result in Google.NSC gets, daily, more unique visitors than the Albion get at home games.

My gut feeling is that this is about right when you include lurkers, but it really is surely almost impossible to tell.NSC members, I'd say 10-15% of our fanbase.

You can probably work it out. If there are 8000 unique hits a day let's discount 4000 as away fans and people who've come here by accident. If the remaining 4000 is 4% of our fanbase then our fanbase is 100,000. You could well be right, we could well have 100,000 fans, personally I haven't got a clue. But we're back to the original point of what constitutes a 'fan'?If people actually think 20% of our fan base use northstandchat then you are seriously deluded
It would be around 4-6% at most
