Glory Supproters

[[DC]eption]

Please give me your opinions on what a glory supporter is.

Due to being a Utd fan and living outside Manchester I have been getting called this, with people saying I obviously support Manchester because they are succesful and im not a true fan because I do not come from their.

Yet people supporting lower/less succesful teams supporters who are not from the place were the team is from are not moaned at? I agree that there isnt as many people from outside the local area supporting these teams but it still happens and doesnt make them any less of a supporter.

if they don't get any glory, cant be a glory supporter can they?

[leah]

Exactly, however, I think that a glory supporter is someone who doesn't follow scores, watch games or have any genuine feelings for any club, yet they say they're fans of whoever is good, loads of girls I know do this and it really annoys me.

Above 2 posts pretty much summed up what I was gonna say

Just adding to Leah and Wootzeh: Someone who, if the team don't win anything that season, switch to the club who won the leauge OR another club who is more likely to win. Also someone who follows a player ie Cristiano Ronaldo from club to club

when people know next to **** all about football when you talk with them but when you tell them the United score eusa_wall) they act as if they're their biggest fan.

I know this isn't in the UK, its Australia...

But, i 'follow' Geelong (the premiers in '07, and runners up in '08), but i don't go to the games. why? It takes seriously too long to get to the stadium (about 3 hours) and it costs too much (i'm a tight ass!).
I have followed Geelong since i was 6 or 7..

Anyway, i quoted you because I don't know the scores seeing as i have to wake up early and work and they don't really tell you the scores on the radio at work. So i never get to see the games (seeing as i'm at work).

Hi, my name is Coconut Baron. I am from USA. Never been to any games, only have 5 jerseys, only supported after 1999 and think i am a true manchester united supporter. I never miss a game on tv and always on the internet a minute after fulltime. I live too far away to attend any matches. I guess that doesn't matter. Glory, Glory, Man Utd.
