    True fan ?!?!? hahahahahahahah..............that's just outstanding Jim Boy.

    :True Fan: phrase. Adj / Noun. A member of the public who purchases a season ticket and then sits in the stands shouting abuse at the players he/she pretends to support. Can only be seen / heard as a fan when results go their way and even then shows little or no encouragement. A cheque book Charlie that believes money buys one the right to call themselves a "True Fan"
    Rarely seen on away games.
    Other descriptions: -
    Johnny Come Lately
    Billy Boo Boy

    No your NOT a true fan.

    True fans pawn their daughters toys and peddle their arse on Eldon Street to get to a game.

    FFS ! Didn't you know that?

    I could start arguing with you about how long I've been going to oakwell and how many grounds and games I have been to but I won't because its pointless

    All that matters is the club needs money for next season - I'm putting it in - you're not

    End of

    Ask the club who is more valuable to them

    You are unfortunate for a number of reasons but as far as I am aware if you really wanted to go to more than 3 games a season you could

    No no please. Go on, tell me how long you've been a true fan. I'd love to hear about it.

    I bet it's since the Premiership season then mebbies lost a bit of interest when we went down to league 1 and then, suddenly! back in the Championship and Jimmy wants to be a true fan agean. Were you at Peterborough and Cheltenham a few years back? Were you at Barrow, Southport and workington still further back?

    Go ooooon tell us the gospel according to Saint Jim the True.

    wasn't alive when we played Workington or Barrow but yes I have been to Peterborough, Bournemouth, Yeovil, Bristol City, Rushden, Northampton, Swansea, Cardiff, Wycombe, MK Dons as well as all the northern crap grounds - Wrexham, Stockport, Bury, Morecambe, Scarborough, Alfreton, Hartlepool etc etc

    I was at the 2-1 win against Brentford the day after we went into admin an all

    and I was at the 1-0 LDV defeat against Port Vale when about 80 turned up

    As in you have not said what's stopping you from going

    Apathy would be my guess

    that's not for me to say - I suppose it would come down to how much someone wants to go or how much they would prefer to do summat else

    everyone has different priorities and of course I appreciate that but the fact of the matter is that a football club like ours is nothing without its hardcore fans which are by and large the season ticket holders

    I'll have to watch out for Greenpeace when I'm next on the beach.
