Fair weather fans are those fans that support their club but only do so when everything appears to fit their comfort zone but who will still stick with that same club.
Thick and thin supporters are those who will (if finances/geographical location/health permits) still support and be a full on fan no matter who or what is at the club or where that club is in terms of league standing or how they play.
The right to be excited and to whine and moan is part and parcel of being a fan/supporter.
Nobody has to go to every game to be a true fan or supporter but you do have to go to every game to be classed as a 100% true SPECTATOR of your club, home and away.
How many can claim that?
My guess is nobody.
