nd see if those Chelsea fans remeber a certian incident with a swansea ball boy.
Wasn't the "boy" like 17 though? That dude was such a little bitch. Hazard didn't even kick him and he cried.

One could even apply banwagoning when becoming a fan of a local team because everyone around that area supports the team and you are following the trend.
I'm going to respectably disagree. I feel like being a bandwagon fan would imply that you have no connection to the team, be it geographically, historically, monetary, family ties, or vested interests.
-Geographically being that you live in the area, and since doing so they are the "hometown" team. I would say this makes you a fan, granted only if you actively go to the games.
-Historically being that in you're upbringing it was instilled in you to follow/ support the team.
-Monetary in that you support the team by buying merchandise, tickets, or any other way that goes back into the clubs' success.
-Family ties, kinda goes back to historical, in that you're family follows a team and you feel invested in the team through relationships with family members.
-Vested interests being that somehow the success of the team or your success directly influences each other. This could be that watching the team succeed or fail causes you to react emotionally, or if you were a player.
I haven't put a lot of thought in this, just too much free time, so feel free to correct if I missed the mark any where.

Hopefully, we can nick Vorm off you guys to compete with Mignolet...

Disagree. There is no better time than to pick Blackpool. I mean, they're simply on the rise right now.

Bad picture choice, bruh. Fellaini's Fro had an accident with a lawn mower and is no longer a thing.

All of these variables don't necessarily coincide with being a bandwagon fan, though. In some cases, they could even support one to become more "bandwagony" by nature.
Geographical - move from city to city. Teams change
Historical - the only one that makes sense
Monetary - buy merchandise of multiple teams
Family ties - have family members that support different teams and jump between them
Vested interests - betting. Bet on one team to win one year, bet on another yo win the next
Basically these situations are both fluid and respective to the individual. That's why I believe the only applicable cases for bandwagoning are the 1) and 2) I posted. How the variables you posted effect them are purely case by case.

I'm new to the Swansea team but am excited to see this thread started. Sounds like the price tag on Bony might scare some teams off. Would be fun to see both him and Gomis up top. Also, is Gylfi still on our radar?

Apparently it's Fabianski's job so it might not take much to get Vorm

His price tag will be high since we have no other scoring options really

Don't think he is really interested. There were talks of Spurs sending him over in a deal for Davies and Bony but I think that's settled down

CSB: one of Swansea's scouts just moved in next door to me.

So I've decided on following Swansea as my EPL team. Are there any good blogs/sites where I can get news or stories on them? Also, what is the best way to watch their matches online? I'm in college and don't have cable.
Thanks! Excited for this upcoming season
