Not supporting metering system? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

counter

I believe this is a double definition.

'not supporting' is the first definition.
(as in counter-revolutionaries)

'metering system?' is the second definition.
(device for counting or metering)

(Other definitions for counter that I've seen before include "one adds" , "Pawn" , "Sales desk" , "Board game disc" , "Trounce (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
