Title: Is there a difference between a fan and a supporter? Post by: Tails on Tuesday, November 29, 2005, 20:04:35 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.

A fan goes to matches A supporter follows the team from the comfort of his or her chair Title: Is there a difference between a fan and a supporter? Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, November 29, 2005, 20:08:58 Or maybe thats the other way round!

Post by: Sade on Tuesday, November 29, 2005, 20:23:24 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 :D Thats what I thinks.

Title: Is there a difference between a fan and a supporter? Post by: Cookie on Tuesday, November 29, 2005, 21:07:49 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! Title: Is there a difference between a fan and a supporter?

Basically I'd say someones not a proper supporter unless they've been to matches regularly for an extended period of time. Title: Is there a difference between a fan and a supporter? Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, November 30, 2005, 13:35:40 Fans keep things cool and supporters hold things up?
