Support post (9)

I believe the answer is:

following

This clue is a double definition.

'support' is the first definition.
(following can mean support or backing)

'post' is the second definition.
(both can mean afterwards)

(Other definitions for following that I've seen before include "Coming after" , "about to be mentioned" , "fans?" , "Next after" , "Understanding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
