You don't want to make a habit of slating the missing fans, but I can live with the occasional brainfart caused by a bit of passion.

Very fair comment, imo.

There are 'fans' at all levels of commitment, of course. And, before we forget, 'fans' is actually short for [ifanatics[/i, and therefore wouldn't [iexactly[/i cover the [ioccasional[/i supporter. In modern usage, 'fans' is used as a synonym for 'supporters' or even for the those who just happen to be there on that one single occasion. I don't think it's unfair to suggest that when the Bulls were top of the league, and going to finals every year, they had a lot of supporters [glory fans? of which, a smaller number, were actually true 'fanatics'.

I'd have to say the overwhelming majority of those who have stuck by the club over the last three or four years are definitely [ifull weight[/i 'fanatics'.

I dont think that will do much to bring the floating fans back though by slating them.

I dont go to big games anymore expecting a good game I go just for a surprise if we win, I missed yesterday as I was playing american football but I went to the Easter games, 50% of our opening games due to work and all of last season, does that make me not a real fan?

I get he may have had a brainfart we all have but to slate the very people you need to turn the sinking ship around is very poor form.

It won't make an iota of difference whether I attend any game or not. I accept it is bad form but I put it in the same box as those who say they will not attend future games due to decisions of the RL judiciary.

they are profit and staff, however vital to the company, are overheads.

If yesterday turns out to be the light that ignites the candle and we do pull off a great escape he may have a point and those who stayed away on purpose will be cursing their decision and then he can come out and say "all those who doubted us, blah blah blah".

Hopefully (fingers crossed) this is what we needed, FC seems to have put a rocket up em to perform and cats where predicted as a top 6 so that should prove we are capable.

Quite. Anybody who doesn't attend a game because of what someone says about whether or not they are a true fan is not a true fan.

How can I find out if I am a "true fan", not sure if I'm in trouble with SD or not #askstuart

Spoken like a true fan.
