True Fans?

[hans kraay fan club]

Can somebody please clear up for me whether or not I am a proper fan. I made a 170 mile round trip for this game, but probably would not have gone had ! not had a free ticket.

Am I a true fan?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

You are a proper fan

 

[hans kraay fan club]

You are a proper fan

Thank goodness for that.

Mickey mouse trophy, lower league team who we've played in the last couple of months, school night.

I think it's a f***ing miracle we got so many.

Indeed. I read somewhere that there were only 740 there. Must have missed off the '1' - was surprised we got as many as 1,700 or whatever.

 

[Uncle Buck]

You and you're witty retorts eh? You certainly know no bounds with them!

Ho ho!

I think the carers are doing very well with him....

 

[Gazwag]

Does anybody know, without looking it up, the names of the finalists for the last two seasons (when we were in the Championship)?

I know Swansea won it last year

 

[Ned]

I know Swansea won it last year

Wrexham the season before that.
Seems the Welsh like it.

What he said.

Mine are 7 and 4. Way too late for them on a school night. Otherwise would have taken them. Shame it wasn't next week during half-term.

ditto mine are 9 and 7,we live in lancing,i dont drive so getting back is a no no ,far too late on a schooll nite,and thats why i didnt go

Bristol City beat Carlisle a couple of years ago.

i went- it was utter wank, quarter full mill stad WASTE OF f***ing TIME.

 

[Ned]

4 of us Brighton fans went to the Wrexham game. I'm sure Wrexham found the £400,000 prize money very useful inh their fight for their ground.

i saw the mighty millers of rotherham VICTORIOUSin the auto windscreen shield of 1996 thanks to 2 nigel jemson goals over shrewsbury

it was actually a very very good day out, but of course that was at wembley, although it was three-quarters full. not sure what it would be like at the millennium stadium

This one may well still be at WEM-BE-LY though. It could even be the first fixture at the stadium, which would mean that it would be quite full, as loads of spotters would want to be there for it.

Now there's a question. If we get to the final of this Mickey Mouse Cup, how many will we take?

 

[NMH]

I don't know what "ammo" the anti-Falmers can have got out of it. I imagine most sides in the league would have small crowds for a Boston match. Recent non-leaguers, not setting the FL alight, potentially cannon fodder?
Win or lose, it would hardly be a worthy football spectacle to serve up.
On top of that, a night game with bad weather expected at a running track stadium..... it speaks more of our need for a better ground with facilities that will attract fans regularly and regardless.

Weren't we recently criticising Madejski Stad for the lack of fans and atmosphere?
Now, Reading is back 'on the map' from being in the Prem with a manager we could have kept at Brighton IF we had facilities.

Falmer Stadium would be a real asset to Brighton and Sussex, FACT.

Spot on sir.

While 1700 people decided to watch a meaningless football match in dodgy weather that clashed with Champions League on terrestrial how many people were settling down for a nice night by Falmer duckpond or a quick drink in that 'lovely' pub run by the man who alledgedly used to wear dresses....

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Thank goodness for that.

Is there a difference between a true fan and a proper fan?

 

[ali jenkins]

There were FIVE other teams in the Paint thingy that had smaller attendances than us last night, and about 8 with under 2k, so its not that bad i suppose.

 

[Mrs Coach]

School night I'm afraid. Little Coach has a problem getting up after a 10.45pm bedtime (but we have before shhhh!)

We're all true fans but there's shades of within that banding, which, like it or not, is influenced by market forces. The loyalty factor actually skews the traditional laws of supply and demand in the club's favour.

So 1700 die hards turned out for last night's fayre by my reckoning.

I regard myself as a die hard but couldn't go mainly because of annual leave at work.
My question was tongue in cheek too!
I see we haven't had a reply from the loyallist Brighton fan ever to have walked the earth who started the thread.
