You thick plastic ****er. You can't even chop quotes properly. Seriously, when others have explained what a plastic is, and others have pointed out why they're not plastics as they've links to the club, what on earth posseses you to post absolute proof that you're the very nugget people are laughing at?
A plastics a fan who doesn't go you.No wonder your hated by most of the hull posters.A real deluded ******.
Nope. YOU dear boy are a plastic. You've missed the point of a big element of what football is all about. This fixation with my popularity is funny in its own right. You keep stamping that foot and poking your bottom lip out and maybe, just maybe someone will be distracted by it and miss the fact you've just held your hands up to being the laughing stock people are asking about. Mind you, I struggle to beleive you're actually as old as you seem to be trying to claim. You come across as being about 12 years old. A work colleague's from your neck of the woods and their family members support Chester, travelling to almost every home game as well as away ones even when they lived in Scotland. They're proper football fans. You cock bod, never will be. Now, instead of squeaking back with childish comments, why not try to debate the topic?
Ok, a guy I know, Burnley fan, born and raised in London. When he was 12, in 1959, his dad took him to see Spurs vs Burnley. Waiting outside the ground with his autograph book, the Spurs players just brushed past him without a second glance. The Burnley players stopped and chatted to him, signed his book, afforded him the time of day. Made a big impression on him. Ever since that day he's followed Burnley everywhere, even now he travels regularly to matches both home and away. He's the last person you'd call a glory hunter or a plastic
Don't get it do you,I don't give a **** what you think..you keep thinking,that shagging your sister makes you a stud.That going 1 game in the prem makes you a fan,that 1 person talking to you makes you popular.The reason your here is no one likes you on your own site,well we don't here either your not our rivals,friend,anything except boring.
No LiE, he's a plastic because he doesn't fit DMD's idea of who you should support. If he walked 5 minutes to the nearest ground every other Saturday he would be a real fan.
Obviously I was wrong earlier. I said you seemed to about 12 and you're clearly nowhere near that age.
My Dad's from Skipton and supports Leeds, I really didn't have much choice. Of course I don't see how it matters, in my view if you're truly committed to your club then you're not a plastic.
If people don't support their local teams, how are they supposed to survive? This is what worries me these days. Football is so expensive, even at League One/Two level for a lot of clubs and kids can't afford to go. Instead they flick skysports on and support the latest high-flyers. Whether it be Man U, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, etc. I suspect this was the case with most of the Leeds fans on here, they supported Leeds because they were half-decent when they started following football. I think it's bad for the game and if it continues smaller clubs will just lose all fans and therefore all income which will essentially kill the game. To summarise, I think it'd be brilliant if more people supported their local teams, can only see it getting worse though, which is a tragic loss.
Skipton? The one about 15 miles Burnley and Bradford? I reckon an association with the area of the club is fundamental to being a football fan. I couldn't imagine just picking a team leaving me with the same emotions that following my home town club with like minded individuals does. It covers far, far more than simply results on the pitch and includes past and future generations. Someone just picking a club will always just be on the outside looking in.
The one that's about equidistant to Burnley, Bradford and Leeds. His family had no previous club ties, Bradford won't have come into the equation as they were at the bottom of the old Division 4 at the time, while Burnley is in Lancashire, so newly promoted Leeds United it was. I didn't pick my club (well, I could have gone down the glory hunter route and chosen Celtic, who would also have been far more local) but Leeds United aren't my local team either. If you moved to Scotland and had children would you want them to support Hull? Or if they decided to support the same team as their dad would you deride them for being "plastics"?
"Bradford won't have come into the equation as they were at the bottom of the old Division 4 at the time" I guess that's why you see Celtic as a choice from Inverness. I know of several parents in the very situation you talk of and there's been several outcomes. Some follow their roots and follow the tigers like their dad, others follow the local club of what is after all, their area. It does to an extent depend on if the kids moved there or were born there, but assuming they spend their formative years there, I'd respect either decision (but they may struggle to be able to afford to get to none City games) . Even more complicated are those brought up in forces families where 'home' moved more often than most gyppos. I read about a Londoner that wanted to annoy his brothers, so stuck a pin in a map and followed the nearest team to where it landed and he's been a S****horpe fan ever since. But exceptions merely prove the rule. In general, true club football fans do not pick a club. Those that do will never get the full emotion of proper fans.
No sweat. Despite what people want to claim I'm saying, I don't expect people to be born and remain within spitting distance of the ground, I simply believe there has to be an association with the Club or area in much the same way that your national side is gifted by birth. Obviously, quite a few people do simply pick a club. That's there free choice and right, but likewise, it's my free choice to point out the failings in doing that.
