"Where were all these fans when the Saints were losing?"

I am so sick of hearing this. If you're a "die hard fan" and always have been, why do you care if others want to be fans? Do we need to pay membership fees and carry around little membership cards to give a "Who Dat" or "Geaux Saints"? I can't stand it when people throw out hasty comments towards those rooting on the Saints just because they can't recall them rooting them on a few years ago. Fan bases are open. You can become a fan of whatever you want, whenever you want without having to answer to anyone. So get off your high horse and be excited that you have all these new friends to cheer on the Saints with. We could be like one of those other teams that have a good season and still can't fill a stadium, but we're not. Besides, one these "new fans" may score tickets to the Super Bowl even though you've been to every game in the Dome since you were 8. And you might want to be their friends then. So stop being assholes now and enjoy it while you can.

I've been a Saints fan for close to 40 years. I actually like to see the team acquire new fans. I don't care where they come from, or where they've been hiding.

I've been one for 20 years and feel the same exact way.

I think it has more to do with the same people saying "my Saints" or "our Saints" are the same ones shitting on the city any chance they get. I spend a lot of time in hotels around Baton Rouge and I find it hilarious that the local news channels up here are now reporting on the Saints like it's the home town team. Last year you barely heard a word about the Saints after October.

I agree. More fans = More $$$ for the organization. I don't care if someone just starts pulling for the Saints. It doesn't take anything away from my enjoyment. I just know that if they win the SB this year, it will mean a lot more to me than the bandwagon jumper.

It's the world we live in. Everyone likes the winner. A few years back, I could not give my tickets away. Now, well, you know the story. It doesn't bother me at all.
But it does make me feel just a little bit better when people know that you've been a fan for a while, and the team is going so good. That's a nice feeling.

because nobody respects fairweather fans, just as nobody likes fairweather friends. it's annoying, though we will take all of the fake fans' money with big smiles on our faces.
does that answer your question, poser?

You have no idea WTF you are talking about. The Saints have always gotten coverage from the news media in BR every week of the season. And I have been a fan for 20 + years as well. Have no problem with new fans coming on board. New fans means more revenue and the possibility that the front office will continue to spend the necessary $$$ to keep great players.

I think the internet has killed off some of the Saints coverage that used to be in the Advocate, but growing up Saints coverage was always right there next to LSU coverage. You sound like you're talking about Shreveport, not Baton Rouge.

Please don't steal his BR bashing thunder. NOLA finally has a team worth talking about after November and he's going to use it as long as he can.

I really don't see why people on here get so pissed at new fans.
Posted on 12/2/09 at 4:45 pm to LSUsportsaddict39
Other people becoming bandwagon fans doesn't cause me to lose any sleep. If anything, it helps the New Orleans economy.

The Saints may play their games in New Orleans, but I can assure you, there is MUCH LOVE for the Saints in BR. I am 29, and can clearly recall the John Fourcade years of my youth, listening on the radio because the dome would not sell out...Also remember how Steve Walsh was supposed to be the savior

I know. I lived in BR for 8 years and the Saints were covered just as much as LSU.
