Can you be a supporter if you don't attend the matches?

The embarrassment that is @sledge is still maintaining this line but despite having seen this thread is too cowardly to say anything here because nobody is agreeing with him 🤣
 
Calm down, it was just a little joke, hence the laughing emoji.

Relax, and watch the match. Its on at 3pm today BTW 😉

Calling someone a troll is an attack, dressing it up as a joke doesn’t change that.

A second passive aggressive attack in your reply just adds to it.
 
Tbh I think I think it’s each case on it’s own merit.

I have a fair few mates who I used to go with regularly home and away in the 00s etc (there was a big group of us).

nowadays, a lot of them don’t go to matches (some still come with me). Are they supporters? No, not because they don’t go much now though, but because they’re more into cooking and eating in fancy restaurants etc, they barely look out for our results, don’t watch on VPN/IPTV, maybe at best flick on the radio for 10 minutes if they remember but probably not every week. They would struggle to tell you our starting lineup.

If, when Boro are playing, you’re invested ie listening to every kick, watching on the internet, or even just reading some text commentary, following the match as it goes on, then you’re a supporter.

If you’re sat doing something else every week, and not even thinking about our match until 7pm when you remember to check how we get on, then na, not for me. Just accept you’ve moved on in my opinion, but don’t claim to be some die hard when you’re not. There’s nowt worse than plastic fans.

I’ve no idea what category you’re in Sherlock.

Crikey Sherlock it wasn't this poster who drove you to post this thread was it? The man's a past banned poster who is clearly out to make mischief. Best not rise to it

Just wanted to see if he was brave enough to post here. He’s not as suspected. Thanks for the heads up though 🙂👍
 
I can't afford a season ticket again this year so i guess i'm hanging up my support card as well :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
I have had to give my SC up this season because of really bad back pain. I missed more than I attended because I could not sit for long, and standing up and sitting down every few minutes was knackering me. That does not mean I love my Boro any less than when I went to my first game in 1967
 
When I was in the States, I'd be catching a train at 5.30am to get to the bar in Manhattan to watch the game streamed for a lunchtime KO. The only matches I attended were on my annual trips home to try and get a Saturday and a midweek home game and a Northern away game.....
