[Albion] Estimate our hardcore support.....

[Thunder Bolt]

Funny how people see things differently. I bloody loved going to Withdean, and boy did we have some great times there.

I did, but many didn't.

Perhaps 12k. About 2/3rds of Chelsea, not bad.

It's not that long ago - certainly in the PL days - that The Standard did a survey of top - flight ST holders. At one point Chelsea had 6,000. Only Wimbledon (at Selhurst) had fewer.

I think it's about 12,000. Higher than when we were at Withdean because the Amex has attracted some extra support that will stick, and having a roof that keeps most of the rain off makes a difference.

IMHO, the Palace game is not a very good indicator. I think a Saturday 3pm kick-off against, say, Burton or Peterborough would have attracted a bigger crowd. The Monday night kickoff and the general hassle about transport will have put off more people than usual.

86-87 the Goldstone average was around 8k I started going by myself with mates in those days. The Northern aways averaged about 400 - 500 with more local maybe 1000-2000. Great days and memories proper football days.

did and unfortunately the only home games I have ever been too, ponchos and H block happy days

5,361 exactly.

Utter rubbish as we'd get 15k plus no worries but no doubt you thought we'd get 11k when we moved to the Amex like many and I said 22k would be way to* small

If anyone actually thinks we'd get 8k in league 1 then they know very little

*I think you know why I posted this

Some of the hard core support was the guys and girls who went to Gillingham thanks Rev for running a coach in those dark days

 

[tigertim68]

Our hardcore at the Goldstone was 15000

 

[BrianWade4]

In League 1 it would be the same 8k of us who were at Withdean

It was more like 6,000-7,000 at Withdean if you take out the away following

That’s our hardcore, albeit only about 3,000 regularly went to Priestfield
