Is our forum full of supporters or fans?

[Mccarry]

I am curious… I enjoy the wonderful variety of opinions on here and often wonder whether our forum is full of supporters of fans?

An AFL mate of mine once asked me who I support? I confidently answered 'Tigers' (...it was a few years back). He then asked me how I support them. Confused I stubbled over a reply, before he nailed me with 'it doesn't sound like you support them, you sound more like a fan'

Very soon after being held to account with the discrepancy between my self image and reality, I signed on as a member. Got my 7 year pin last week.

How about you? Supporter or Fan? No judgement as people's circumstances vary.

And here I am thinking the two words were synonymous…

 

[matchball]

Both but some in here are death riding the coach so much i dont see it as support for the club or even a fan.

So did I Sabre. It wasn't a gentle lesson from a high and mighty AFL fan. I'm sure I walked into it after a few barbs about how ridiculous their game is.

Going by your definitions….
I used to be a supporter but stopped being one 4 years ago.
Now I'm a fan who sometimes doesn't even watch our games live.
May one day become financial again...but for now enjoy being casual to be honest.

Been following the tigers since '09 but unfortunately only as a fan since I don't live in Australia so can't get to any games, except for when they play the Warriors over here. I do have a jersey that I wear proudly though!

Supporter, got my 7 year pin the other day, but I've bought supporters gear years before becoming a member.

Never thought about it that way. Received my 3YR pin last month. Travel to ANZ when work n kids sport permits.

 

[jctiger]

Supporter, received my 7 yr pin last week as well. Became a member mainly to get better game day seats and take advantage of the members early release finals ticket.

Got great seats, still waiting to take advantage of the early release finals tickets !!

The poll should be 'Member' or 'Supporter'

I support the club by buying merchandise from the Roar store etc but I am no longer a paid up member.

Was a member in 14/15 but not his year , but still received a 3 year pin .

Buy the odd merchandise for the young fella when he sees something he likes .
Rarely attend games anymore , easier and less hassle just to watch on Fox .

He's back on board mate , at least until this afternoon :laughing:

This is AFL rubbish imo.

I think they are both the same or go in conjuction. Tiger fans one and all and most people would support when they can.

I stopped donating this year.
I don't feel any less a supporter.

Sorry Gallagher, perhaps you could help me understand that. What specifically are you supporting? Team performance, clubs financial position.

You do know they can't hear you through the TV right?
