What is a "true fan" ?

[Eggmundo]

IMHO A true fan is someone who loves the club. Through thick and thin, for better or worse, rich or poor.
Game attendance doesn't mean a thing. Do you love them now, will you love them always?
But hey that's just my opinion.

So a true fan can love there club by sitting at home and not paying through the turnstile?

Yes...If you are a true fan and can attend then you would go.
If you have no money and can't attend then does that mean you can't be a 'fan'?

Thats why they are called armchair fans

£722,040 - part-time supporter.

I think that is just about fair, currently living 140 miles from Brighton and having only spent around 4 years of the last 15 living in England it is unlikely I would be classed as anything else.

Plus you needed to have gone to

The FA Cup final
The FA Cup Final replay
The 1991 Play-off Final
Hereford in 1995
The 2004 Play-off Final

Oh and be against Mark McGhee

I miss out on three counts.

Done all apart from Hereford 1995. I went to Hereford in 1997.

Only call snap on 2, both play off finals, for the first I flew back from the Netherlands, the second was just an hour away on the train. Missed the game at Hereford in 97 because I was living on the other side of the Atlantic, couldn't get tickets for the Cup Final or replay and am neutral on MM.

 

[Eggmundo]

Went to 2. Both play off finals. Had a ticket for Hereford but family issues prevented me from going. (Which my brother likes to remind me of whenever possible). Aparrently my ticket was sold to a 'fat bloke' outside the ground.

I never knew Pete Canning did not originally have a ticket for Hereford

Not a thug mate.Just part of the casual Brighton movement.

Or the bowel movement.

I went to the youth cup game at Newcastle on the Bobbler express.

Strange, I didn't see you.

IMHO a true fan is someone who stands by their team through thick and thin, and goes to see them as much as they can. (I do think match attendances are a factor).

I'd define a true fan as someone who just gets on with the job of supporting his or her club in whatever way they want without sitting in judgement on anyone else.

I'd go along with that.

The biggest (if that's the correct adjective) Albion fan I know is a regular poster on here, yet most people could probably not recall one specific post from them if knowing their username at all.

Contrary to popular belief it's not all about how many Brighton and Wrexham/Doncaster/Cambridge scarves you've got, how loudly you shout about having a season ticket or EVEN how many posts on NSC you've got.
