Jase it's not your fault, but you still don't get it, i'm not ridiculing what you do, I'm saying don't ridicule what we do if you know very little about it. We don't profess to speak for the fans, unlike you who seems to think its your natural cause. I don't remember ever speaking for all the fans, thats a lot of people to speak for and quite frankly I have enough to say on my own!!!

Its not about who does what, But if you want to get personal, about what you do and what i do here goes:-

I steward on match days for around 4 and a half hours for nothing.
I baby sit the children of people who couldn't care less about where their kids are or what they are doing on match days for nothing but a load of abuse!!
I give up around 20 hours a month to stewarding other football games at the interlink for nothing
Before becoming a steward I had a season ticket
18 years worth of admission fees proir to holding a season ticket
I give up around 12 hours a month to the supporters club
I give up around 8 hrs a month to part organise the poker night with my husband
I have given leaflets out in town
I have spent a lot of money in the club shop
I help out behind the bar
I put money over the bar the same as you do
I help clean the stadium during the summer

I could go on.

A fiver a year doesn't make you a real fan, going to blyth spartans on a tuesday night in the piddling down rain does!!!
Wearing your shirt with pride even when people take the mick out of it does!!!
Watching your team lose and not stopping singing until you have no voice left that makes you a real fan.

And that puts both of us in the same catagory. not ultras, not supporters club, REAL FANS.

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree.
