Worthing have a good buzz around them at the moment and getting lots of success which is attracting people, plus they have a great set up. Whitehawk had that a few seasons ago and were regularly getting over 500. Since then they've been relegated twice in a row which does impact crowd numbers. Also Worthing ground is nice and was done up a few seasons ago. Whitehawk ground is a bit more spit & sawdust which may put off a few of the more casual fans.

I remember the days of County League when Whitehawk regularly got the lowest Div 1 attendance averages season upon season - as low as 27.
I know someone that played for them back then. He'd joke there would be no-one in the crowd that wasn't related to someone on the pitch!

Around the turn of the century and up to their promotion out of the SCFL.

Also are not Worthing the biggest town in the country without a professional football club. The town has a bigger population than places like Burnley. As someone said, they have a good set up, play good open football and a very good owner in George Dowell. Hopefully get a deserved promotion this year.

I remember the game between Worthing and Whitehwk in 2016 at Culver Road.
Good game, resulting in a penalty shoot out.

Sussex Senior Cup wasn't it? I went and had a great time but had some Worthing fans try to start on me in the pub by Lancing station afterwards. Nothing came of it though.

You’ve got no fans. You want some?
The mighty U’s should have won last night, had it not been for some woeful finishing, but then Hawks did have a couple good opportunities too.
For those who have never tried non league should definitely give it a go, beer while you watch, what’s not to love.
What’s with the cow bell and the sort of horn/recorder though?

The cow bell is always there. Although I think it may be a tin cup or something like that. The horn is new.

That was @Atilla who posts here! He turned up with some obscure old instrument he was playing.
