Your thoughts?
Ie. A supporter goes to support the team and watches the games and a fan is someone who cheers the team on but maybe from home aka an armchair fan or glory supporter.

Yes big difference
A fan goes to matches
A supporter follows the team from the comfort of his or her chair

Its the other way around SUPPORTer goes and supports the team and is loyal, a fan is one of those people 'oh I follow their results' or in other words I sit on my ass with a beer watching sky sports because I can't be assed to go  Thats what I thinks. |

Doesn't the word Fan derive from fanatic? This means a fan will follow the team however good or bad because they are crazy and fanatic.
A supporter is simply someone who will go and support the team but never reach the levels of dedication that a fan does!

I actually agree with Rich (for once). A follower is the term I believe you could for someone like me!

There are alot of football fans about, but fewer supporters.
Basically I'd say someones not a proper supporter unless they've been to matches regularly for an extended period of time.

Fans keep things cool and supporters hold things up?
