Re: This is the opposite of being a supporter .
To suggest it's just the part time fans who are fed up is just plain wrong. My Dad has had his season ticket since the early 90s. Always renewed without question, never missed a game, never leaves early no matter what and he is that fed up he isn't bothering on Wednesday. No problem with that at al...

I just don't get it. Why bother turning up to moan for an afternoon? Even if you have "paid your money" it is a pretty bizarre way to spend your time.
