Nah, in the promotion frame even in League 2 we’d get 20k imo. 10k max if we were struggling. We do fair weather better than most.

The most curious thing..
The real hard core support are those who go away as well as home games. Or those who would go to the equivalent of Gillingham for home games - so about 1,500 - 2,000.
A lot of the current support (including season tickets) would melt away if we were still playing crap in Division 1 or 2, despite having a flashy stadium (cf the fall and fall of Darlington).
I'm so soft-core these days as to be completely flaccid.

You're right, tomorrow is no yardstick because it will be a reserve team game and pretty much everyone knows that. I don't have any problem with people who go to most other games not going to this one. Not going to judge one way or the other because it just a reflection of the club's attitude to this competition.

Probably about 12-13k,it's great we've got all the new Amex,top knot,bushy beard early leavers but when it comes to truly understanding the importance of the rivalry and a good run in the cup I'd rather be in the trenches with our core support.

You're saying that those who can't attend away games are not 'hardcore' ?

Yes. Surely the definition of hardcore is you go to every game including Doncaster on a cold Tuesday night in January when in league 1. Loyal fans can be all home games.
I am loyal with the odd away game, certainly not hardcore.

6k Withdean fans + (being generous here) 3k fans who hated Withdean but went to away games. Add on a couple of thousand inbetweeners and we're looking at no more than about 12k tops. Best never get relegated anytime soon...

Do you really have to ask? Cold, wet, no shelter, minimum facilities.

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

The first 4/5 years were and many ticket applications exceeded 20k at the withdean....Naturally that shite hole would wain on fans as the weather and facilities were unreal.
