    Would that be the glory hunting, sing when you’re winning types that only follow a club because it’s successful?

    Please.
    a plastic fan was and always will be the name given to someone not from the area of the club.

    The only real 'plastics' are the fans who support a team other than their local one because they want the associated glory of winning trophies. Currently it's Man City, recently it's been Man U, Chelski, Liverpool, Arsenal.

    But, even then, who is anyone to say you can't support who you want?

    just support the lads on the pitch
    if you say support the manager why not support the owner ???

    A real fan shouldnt are what is arounfd the ground
    wht differance does it matter if you have sports dirct or northern rock

    none what so ever

    if it wasnt for sports direct and the fortune it has made ash
    we would probabaly be in div 3 under sheppard and his lot wjho had no more emoney but thats a different argument
    so i wil take on the lads from overseas but i dont think any of them have been labelled plastic
    just the numptys here who hide behind excuses

    Plastic fans are very simple.
    If someone is a fan of one club but changes their allegiance to another club on the basis of them winning things, then changes back or to a club that's doing even better than that club, then they are plastic fans. Also known as glory hunters and weak supporters.

    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.

    Plastic fans are those that genuine fans look down on for a range of random criteria.

    The judgement of who is a "plastic" is made by those who don't understand what it takes to make a club a global brand.

    a fan goes to games come rain or shine
    makes sacrifices to do so
    who deosnt care if the ground is plastered with someones brand
    doesnt care if an owner doesnt give the money we would all want
    who sits and continually calls the players they supposably support chimpo just to support their continued bashing of an owner
    You're basically saying that fans shouldn't be critical and just take it all in without questioning anything, and yet what you do every day is the exact opposite?

    Thus, you're a plastic because you keep criticizing Rafa.

    but i dont stop going because of rafa

    so you miss the point

    i wont let an owner or a manager or whats plastered on the walls stop me from supporting the lads on the pitch

    i dont care what league we are in
    if we have any money if we dont ,how much we spend etc etc etc

    you have to be a ***** to stop going due to your dislike for a person or the advertising surely
