Age range of NSC users

[hertsseagull]

Afternoon all,

I've been reading with a mix of interest, agreement and despair the various posts on here since the transfer window slammed shut.

I have a hunch that there is a correlation between age and strength of views on how well (or not) the club has done.

This is not intended to criticise any view. Those of us, like me, the wrong side of 40, will probably always use the War Years as our reference point for good and bad. Younger supporters may be more focused on the future.

I'm an infrequent poster on here but like to write the occasional Albion blog and would be interested in the poll results to see if there is something in my hunch.

Cheers

Blimey just realized im 52! been going since the age of 10, time flies.

I think it is evident from the style and quality of posts on all subjects that more than 90% of NSC users are 7 years old.

45-55 [MENTION=534]Chicken Run[/MENTION]. I've met this true gentleman and he doesn't look a day over 30.

Not just a day but 25 years?

Are there many active NSCers under the age of 20?

I think you will be surprised by the results, as is already indicative from a small sample size thus far.

The first age bracket will far more likely use social media to vent/express their views. NSC is a lot of old timers, though you wouldn't know it from the posts at times.

The big 40 in a couple of months. Been supporting the Albion since the early 90's.

WAR Years

Nearly 60 years of watching the Albion - I am typical "glass less than half empty" moaningly pessimistic Brighton supporter who understands that even after all this time the pain doesn't get any better!

Same here

Interesting poll actually. Thus far over 54% of users are over 44 years surpised at that

I have just turned the big 3-0, Withdean is my reference point but I enjoyed (!) the two years at Priestfield as my Albion supporting debut. I am part of the "lost generation".

Why isn't there an over 100 category for BG ?

I'm 44, been a fan since my school took me to Brighton v Birmingham at the Goldstone on 13 September 1980. So I'm a few days from my 37 year anniversary.
