Ron you forgot to mention the real fans who DO CARE what shyte is plastered all over the ground, and who owns us etc etc etc.
what a load of bullshyte ! so the posters from the USA , Norway Austrailia and other overseas climates who come on here to talk to other supporters are plastic cause they don,t go to the matches? you say we should support all things united well how about supporting the manager ! how about supporting the geordie supporters instead of deriding them ! your just a "loads-of-money " character bulling it up

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?
Yeah that's right,my brother in law is a man utd fan,whos never ever been to ol;d Trafford and hes 53!.Of course hes from Plymouth ffs how can he justify that. Now THAT is a plastic!
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.
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
