I’ve always found it interesting how quickly a club’s fanbase can seem to change after a few successful seasons. Which club do you think has had the most obvious influx of “lifelong” supporters since the trophies started coming in?
The glory hunter is obvious and easy to identify - they arrive when the trophies do and disappear during a bad run. But there's an argument that the performative fan who attends regularly, posts constantly and has all the visual markers of genuine support while having absolutely no actual understanding of or connection to the club is doing more damage because they're harder to spot and harder to call out without looking like you're being unreasonably gatekeepy. Would love to know which type of plastic behaviour people here think is actually the most corrosive to what real fandom is supposed to feel like and whether the obvious targets are even the right ones to be focusing on.
American here! I’m a Crystal Palace fan and Barcelona fan!
My support for palace is because growing up as a kid I thought there kit and logo where fucking sick and have been a die hard fan ever since!
And has for Barcelona growing up Messi was my favorite player!
Before you ask, yes I do support my local
The club have went up in mine. Fair play lads.
No one gives a fuck unless you support an obvious one like Madrid or City.
I support Liverpool and Corinthians. I think this is fine because they are in entirely different continents
