Agree for the most part.

True. Still dumb to me.

only show up when the team is good or a whole bunch of more people started supported them after their take overs


meh. Sounds like most sports to me. Why pay money to watch crap. Being that guy that was in the stands watching the Saints when they were terrible sounds more like poor financial planning than anything to me.


I can see this discussion in England now.

"I love the Saints!"
"You didn't follow them before 2009 mate!"
"Not true. My friends sister brought me beads from Mardi Gras in 2001 and I was hooked."

European sports culture is just different than ours.

Clubs are so much different than Franchises.

Even more so in Germany where the fans own part of their club. My team was still pulling around 30k while playing in the 2nd division.

Dortmund having a total shite year was still pulling 80k a match.
