If the club is to survive and prosper it needs to be supported in terms of not only cheering them on (which on looking at most of your posts you dont seem keen on doing) but also by the investment made by people turning up each week and adding to the clubs finances. So Yes is the answer to your question I believe to be a true fan or "supporter" of the club you do have to attend as many games as you can and spend some dosh!

And though posting on here is open to everyone it sometimes irks me that many of the most negative contributers in terms of viewpoints are the ones who "support" the club least financially.

Well put Eddievan

I suspect Jimmy might be part of the season ticket drive, presuming the T&A is on the money.

I buy the home and away shirts each season for myself and my wife direct from the club (who actually charge a bit more than I can get them elsewhere) and the kids get a shirt each (one gets a home the other an away - hope we get a third kit next season ) and we are both "members" of the Big One Lottery also.

Given that the shirts (some printed too) are an average of say £50 for the adults and £30 for the kids, that is £260 notes to the club through the shop each season (assuming of course they bring out a new top each year). That £260 I assume is more than the cost of a season ticket alone so I would say that I was doing all I can.

Add 2 x Lottery memberships and an indirect support of the club through my Sky Sports Subs that I only keep for the RL then I would say I was doing ok in supporting the club financially.

All this does not include the occasional gifts and whatnot through the club shop for birthdays/Christmas etc.

Sadly I cannot attend very many games but I do my best.

The offer's still there. Should I put you down for your meat at Christmas again?

So you've never been, either, then? Mind you if you would just get that flatulence problem sorted, there'd be a chance.
