What do you class as a "glory hunter"? I was just wondering because BlueMoon seems to think that everyone who supports a big club and lives outside of where their team is based is a glory hunter. For example a Arsenal fan who lives in Northern Ireland is a glory grabber.

A glory hunter is a person who doesn't care about the club they support. They just like them because they are winning.
Glory hunters usually change clubs quite often.
I support Manchester United and do not live in Manchester.
But my family has supported United for years (minus my dad) so i have grown up watching them.:eusa_clap

Excuse me stop bringing me into this UnitedRoad.
I've been to 28 Arsenals game in my lifetime.
Thats over £300 quid a game?
28 x 300 = £8,400
You reckon a glory hunter would spend 8.4 grand on a team.


A glory hunter is UnitedRoad.

end of.

I also support an Irish League team called Cliftonville, just to let you know.
There my LOCAL team.

glory hunting is bad fans who have no connection with man united and just support them because they win the league. they never watch matches aswell.

Erm I do find there are alot of glory hunters and it's very annoying =l I've supported my local team Reading my whole life and got the piss taken out of me all the way through school because of it all my friends supported Arsenal (you know when they hadn't lost a game all season) and kept going on and on about it all year but as soon as they lost oh no they didn't want to know or talk about it they always just refered back to 'crappy Reading' well now their in the Premiership :eusa_hand :D

I think you're only a glory hunter if you love to take the piss out of the teams you don't support but get all defensive if you lose I mean when Reading lose I always chat to people about the good points and bad points of the game I don't just all of a sudden hate the team and think the players are crap..

I support United for the exact same reasons as UnitedRoad said, I grew up watching them.

Also, I suppose you'd call either Leeds or Bradford my local team, but I've never had much intrest in either 'cause no one I knew as a child did. But I suppose it had to start as Glory Hunting somewhere down the line. Also, you do often like a team cause people you know do.

Yeah but your from the North, I'd say United are your local team if Bradford is near you, Manchester is what... an hour from Bradford if it's a clear road? That ain't glory supporting. You just have a selection of teams to support. :)

Not really, Bradford is classed as around five minutes from 'Greater Manchester', I think five minutes can suffice.

Right, so for a normal Saturday kick off of 3pm:
137mins off 15:00 = 12:43
but you would need about 15 minutes to get through the turnstiles
so you would leave at 12:28
end of game @ 4:45pm - 15 minutes getting out, then another 2h17min drive home
12:28 to 19:17

Glory hunters suck, because if their team win they brag even though they know nothing about football and only support their club because they obviously saw them win a trophy. I don't think you can call someone a glory hunter if they don't live near their location though, because I'm a die-hard Arsenal fan and I live a good hour and a bit away from the Emirates. I still go to games quite often though, and away games when I can, and have supported them for as long as I remember, BEFORE we won the Premiership for the first time.

I remember one United glory hunter in my school, who I beat 11-1 on a quiz about United. One of the questions was:

"Who is the manager of Man Utd?"

And his answer was Sven Gorran Eriksson. Now THERE'S a glory hunter. The only one he got right was "What's Old Trafford?". He couldn't even name 5 first team players.

I can sit here now and honestly say I've never been to an Arsenal match because I'm not of a high SES and cannot afford the travel - nor am I old enough as none of my family like football, immediate family.

I'm also a Doncaster Rovers fan, I've started to go to matches now, my mate has convinced me too even though the ticket prices are too high. I'm going today in fact, and Leeds next week.

There are no such people as glory hunters. Mainly because people support a team because of either 3 factors - they like them, they're local, they're good. Either one of them factors are reasonable to support a team. Why do Manchester United have such a big fan base? Because they're good.

I support Northampton Town because im from there.
I also support Manchester United in a way, i was a big fan WAY BACK in the years when they werent as popular as they are these days.
But i got fed up, there were too many glory boys coming into the equation.
Then at the Manchester Derby at Eastlands ( City's ground ), when City won, i celebrated, as it felt good in a way, because it would have shut up the glory boys.
Now im starting to like Man City, as its a team which has came out of nowhere, and is starting to achieve great things which the club is owed.

I've been a Northampton Town supporter since i was 9, and have had a Season Ticket for about 3 Years now, and go to most Away games aswell. And i LOVE it, i'd rather watch my team, instead of watching the "BIG BOYS".

I admire all Loyal Supporters.

Excuse me?!?! You make a comment on Manchester City fans without even having a one of our fans views of Glory Hunters? A Glory Hunter, is a person who supports a football team just because they win a lot. But if that person goes to the football games quite a lot, then they are not a Glory Hunter.

So don't make comments on our fans without having one of our views, because you are wrong!!!

A glory hunter is a person who doesn't care about the club they support. They just like them because they are winning.
Glory hunters usually change clubs quite often.
I support Manchester United and do not live in Manchester.
But my family has supported United for years (minus my dad) so i have grown up watching them.:eusa_clap
Exactly what I think too. I know 2 people who supported United three years ago, and now support Chelsea as they won the league. They probably will support Arsenal/United next season.

yeah you have the same reason as me for watching united. bluemoon will class you as a glory hunter though :eusa_wall

I've been a Manchester City fan since I was born. My dad made me a junior blue on the day I was born, so I would be an official Manchester City fan and get some kiddy Manchester City magazines with some news/games/events for Manchester City. They stopped the junior blue's when Maine Road was demolished.

I live in the West Midlands, so it takes me 2 hours - 2 hours 30 minutes every day to get to a game. I've been going for the last seven years and got a season ticket in 2004 when we moved to the City Of Manchester Stadium. I remember a Manchester United Glory Hunter. He supported Manchester United, and had never seen a game of any football lol. He said to me the day before our rival match (I went) and said, "Manchester United are going to kick your butts and your going to lose like 5-0". I went to the game and we won 3-1. He didn't go to school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday... lol.

95 League games.

15-25 Cup Games

20-30 Away Games

So thats about 130-150 league games... and I don't go to that many away games, so he could have gone to 182 games in the last 5 years :) (Cup games includes UEFA)

Technically it is glory supporting. Thats what I've always called it.

Id say glory supporting is supporting a club because they win when you dont really have any connection to the club whatsoever.

I support liverpool, I was born there, grew up there, and the whole side of my dads family has lived there as far back as I know. When I first got into football, I supported Blackburn because they won the league that year, and then the next year when they dropped down again, I started supporting Liverpool because they were a proper team I could relate to.

No one's listening.

That is one of 3 reasons why people support teams - because they're good. 85% of people aren't going to be willing to go and watch their team, at £20 a week, lose and lose and lose are they?

Nobody's listening because we've all worked out that what your saying is as dire as Wes Brown. :)

No, it's common sense.

Why do you think Manchester United have a fan base of over 330million people? It sure as hell isn't because everyone comes from Manchester. It's because they're good.

A glory supporter is someone who changes teams to those that are winning everything, never goes to a game and ***** off lower teams - amongst other criteria.

It's because they **** off to Asia every summer and make lots of money from there while collecting fans because they breed like ******* rabbits in Asia! :rolleyes:

I always thaught glory hunting was always supporting the team that are doing the best. like changing who you support when a different team goes top of the league or something?

Thats glory hunting in my mind, changing teams because their winning i don't see the point. you could argue that it would make going to matches better because a win is always good but it takes away the meaning of being a loyal fan.

I don't think you need to live somewhere to support the team as the team you support is a preference. Also supporting a team you live nowhere near could start with family living near that team then generations of the family move to different places.

i suppose if their both local teams you could enjoy watching both teams play. there is no rule that says you can only support one team so i guess glory hunting is just critisism for something different from what the person saying it is used to.

A glory hunter is a term used towards people who are, or who are suspect to, supporting a particular football club due to its size, quality and/or popularity in the media. Glory hunters usually live outside the town where a particular team is from, and may, in fact, live in a different country altogether.



A second generation glory hunter is a term used towards people who are, or who are suspect to, supporting a succesful football club although having no obvious affiliation with the team and giving their reason for supporting such team as it also being their fathers chosen team. Second generation glory hunters usually live outside the town where a particular team is from, and may, in fact, live in a different country altogether.

So you're saying that if I choose to support Vauxhall Motors [which, unknown to many, are my 3rd team :P] I'm a glory supporter?

66 percent of tenagers support man utd, chelsea, liverpool or arsenal. COnsidering how many other clubs there actually are it amkes the portion of supporters thre days supporting there home team very small. However, if ur family hav supportesd a team for years wots the problem? if u hav never supported a team and u staert to suppotr a teasm cos they are winning fine. cos at sum point they re goin to stop winning and only when people then change allegiance to a better club is when u can say they are glory hunters :D
