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.
A glory hunter, in my opinions is someone who supports a team because they win things.
