The two, by definition, probably go together. Certainly during the 90s!

Perhaps ‘core support’ would have been a better phrase

Spot on.
People can't really consider themselves part of our core support when they're on their toes on the 78th minute so they can get home for a bit of Ant & Dec.This an F A cup game against our BITTER rivals tomorrow night and people are dripping like sceptic ring pieces about transport,get a a grip .

That's true. The first few years tickets were balloted.

Shame Hughton doesn't see it that way, just a chance to put a few dead ends in the shop window

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

Agreed - people watch a winning team regardless of the division the team is in. So we’d still get 20k plus in the bottom division, but is that “hardcore”. Surely hardcore is watching your team regardless of how it is performing? If so that’s probably around 8-10k.

How do the club benefit from away fans? Until The Amex I went to most away games but I cannot be bothered now with all the standing at matches etc so leave it to the younger fans like my sons to take my place but it doesnt make me any the less a supporter of BHA. In days gone by we drove as a family to games up north and while the boys and I went to football my wife did the weekly shop to take advantage of the cheaper prices.

Surely how many went to most of the Gillingham 'home' games were the hardcore (I'm not one of them). That season after the exhilaration of surviving in 97 was pretty grim, with only Doncaster to save us.
These days I would expect the hardcore to have grown a bit.

I think that if we did a Portsmouth and went down the divisions we would still get 12k at most home matches most of which would be STH.
Amusing thread that captures the vagaries of human viewpoint. What is hardcore? I am aware of folk who have not missed a game, home or away (give or count neart death etc) for 20 plus years. Is that the bar? Set them against 20 years a season ticket holder, 10 away games; Withdean ST holder but can't afford it at the Amex so occasionally; now retired so **** it, I'll go home and away....
For what its worth I agree with @alfredmizen : 6000
Don't ask me why. Gut feling. And its probably exactly the same for most of the top 40 sides in the pyramid.
