StanleySaint Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 this whole fan / supporter thing is just divisive nonsense, trying to put a definition on it is a complete waste of anyone's time, by one of said definitions, despite attending matches since I was 7 years old, because I don't have a season ticket and don't go to all matches home and away I am a fan and not a supporter, don't know whether this is intentional arrogance or just a failure to appreciate that the depth of feeling someone has for their club can't be measured in purely material expenditure.

She hasn't paid one of her own pennies to the Team she has supported for over 6 years. I never paid a penny to watch the Team I supported from the age of 6 till the age of 17. Even now decades later, I paid as little as possible to support my Team. I would support them forever even if I got complimentary tickets every week. That would be fab.

Might even mean a dude sitting by his Tranny on a Saturday listening for every Saints score update and praying only for his Team to win. Still a supporter. I agree with this wholeheartedly. Except for the obvious fact that I am clearly better than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I expect your daughter to have paid when you have been taking her to the games? Similarly, why would I expect you to have paid when you were a child going to games with your Dad? But somebody paid. Well done to your dad and yourself by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should adjust the budget to suit. Also, I would never refuse a Complimentary Ticket. St Mirren have been ripping me off since the 1990's. They owe me big time and owe every other fan that has come through the Love Street and Greenhill Road Turnstiles. Also ripped off via programmes, merchandise and fecking pies,etc. COMPLIMENTARY TICKET FOR LIFE PLEASE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A customer whom I'm sure you treated well as return business Is very welcome everywhere. Whereas for a fan who becomes an active supporter there is financial and emotional attachment. However each customer Supports your standard of living. You didnt answer my question from earlier so I will repeat it. What about volunteers who help the club out? There is no financial attachment. Are they fans or supporters? You are digging yourself a hole here because for some strange reason you want to put a label on certain supporters to make them appear less supportive of the club than yourself. In this case, F man is your target. When the only people backing you up are ged62 and IOBS you really ought to smel the coffee bud.
