    What term now fits the bulk of City fans?

    I doubt I'd have got away with a question like that on the old rivals site. Other clubs would have been all over it. The descriptions here apply to me too, so I'm not having a dig.

    Supporter? Most don't go, and of those that do, other than buying a ticket and some merchandise, in what respect is the support revealed?

    Fan? Short for fanatical. Enough said I reckon.

    Follower? I'm not even sure what that means in football fan terms.

    So, do we really know what we are?

    All 3 apply to me.
    Impossible to get there regularly, obviously, F & F answers the supporter question adequately.

    A ‘bulk’ of City fans is indeed the collective noun...

    Ummm, I feel the need for a collective noun contest.


    A sufferance of City supporters.

    An endurance of Hull fans.

    A dungeon of Tigers masochists.

    An optimism of Allam Outers.

    A relegation of City players.

    A group of Tigers is called "A Streak" & I nominate Dutch to carry out the next Anti-Allam protest on behalf of all the Tigers in The Streak.

    If a centipede a bucketful, how much would a precipice ?
    A sheer drop.
