Quote: meast "thats called being a bandwagon/fairweather supporter.
if people aren't interested or willing to watch ( i wont use the term support) that has poor spells on the field and in general then i suggest they stop calling themselves supporters.
we as a club have battled against these kind of people for years, im sure they would be rather support a team that wins regularly, im sure we will see a few "giants fans" defecting soon if thats the case.
im sorry but as you and i,and others on here are well aware due to being there in the bad times,you support your club through thick and thin,good and bad, true,loyal supporters dont stay at home and watch on tv because the team lost the week before.'"
So you would be happy if we have 5000 who come to games as long as they were all "proper" supporters.
Personnally i would settle with 10,000 glory hunters and bandwaggonners and i am sure that Ken Day and Richard Thewlis would as well.
Stop being so precious about wearing campaign medals about how we were around in the dark days. The club needs money through the door now, whether that is casual supporters or diehards matters not one iota.
