Is NSC representative of Albion fans....

[ChutneyStirrer]

Or do NSChatters consider themselves 'superior' other Albion fans

I often read NSC in a quiet moment at work and have to say that the topics covered and opinions put forward don't often converge with conversations I have with non-internet fans.

Also, regular posters on here can sound very self important..... Ooh, NSC new manager poll was mentioned on SCR; sign here to make sure DK give Jake 'Desert Orchid' Robinson a contract; join our 'Don't Go Stevie' petition to stop SC going to Reading - it worked to get him to re-sign during the summer!!

Does anything on here really have any affect on the 'real' world??

 

[Beeneys gloves]

The Guy Butters thing made the nationals

 

[BrightonBird]

No it doesn't.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Nope.

 

[REDLAND]

NSC must be on average alot younger than the average age of a full withdean.

 

[Safeway]

Going purely on numbers, the amount of regular posters on NSC makes up about one hundredth of the average Withdean crowd. So in that respect no, definitely not.

That said, a couple of things which have originated within these four walls have gone on to have a major positive impact for many more Albion fans. Most notably the REMF, which produced the flag, the annual supporters' matches with Palace, and the golf day.

I think all NSCers can be a little guilty of believing we have more influence than we actually do from time to time, but at the end of the day those thoughts are on the whole kept on here so other fans don't know about them anyway.

 

[Raphael Meade]

no. nsc is representitive of albion fans who have nothing better to do all day at work,etc than post on here (myself included)

btw, i think you'll find desert orchid is a family friend, and not actually jake robinson.

 

[Wez]

What we write probably doesnt have any great affect, but at least its out there!

 

[DTES]

On some matters yes, I'm sure many non-NSCers want Jake offered a contract, and other issues like that.

However, going on the 1/100 of Withdean theory, I'm not convinced there are 60 people at Withdean every week who have Italia's problem concerning a little poo slipping...

 

[the right footed denilson]

also

many songs are thought up on here- michel kuipers a former ducth marine, leon knight knight, knight, oh chris mcphee etc.

I bet you there are!

 

[Brovion]

Only a tiny fraction of the fanbase post on NSC so it cannot (and does not) claim to be a 'voice' for Albion fans any more than say the regulars at the Preston Park Tavern are the official 'voice' of Albion fans. That said the cross-section of views expressed on here probably does represent the cross-section of views of Albion fans in much the same way as an opinion poll of a thousand or so people gives a view of the voting intentions of millions. After all the Internet is not confined to computer specialists these days (although quite often I wish it still was)

This is however the busiest and best of Albion sites and if you want a feel of what Albion supporters are thinking then looking on here isn't a bad place to start - especially if you're outside the area and can't get to the PPT. Also it has the advantage that you can follow a discussion as it develops whenever it suits you. Also as Safeway says great things have come from NSC - specifically Fans Utd and the REMF. NSC as a collective entity has a right to feel proud of those achievments.

Finally although only a tiny fraction of Albion support actually read this (much less post) I think the figure is a lot higher if you just look at fans who go to Away games. It seems to me that all the Away fans post on here!

Adding to the Giant Flag, with the great help of Italia we also started the SHABASH! t-shirts

Upper middle class if you don't mind geek boy.

As regards to the PPT Brovian, have you noticed how busy its getting at strange times nowadays?

 

[Mr Popkins]

how many people on here are middle class?

im working class and id imagine over 50% are as well.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I think Looney is middle class

all we need now is for him to deny it, to confirm it

if you see what i mean

 

[looney]

I cosider myself classy!!!!!

those who discuss class dont have any.

FTR by standard definitions I am Middle class now...mainly... by most indicators.....Education, outlook attitudes. Got fed up with being a bottom feeder.
