I could be wrong, but I think Tideroller's point was that the Cubs didn't have a uniquely loyal fanbase prior to '84.
I don't know about that. The '69 Cubs still have a huge following...I mean Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Ferguson Jenkins, Ernie Banks....
But anyways, even if we just go to '84, that's still 31 years ago. That's some old arse bandwagon fans

Exactly. If they had turned into the Yankees in 1984, the term bandwagon might apply. Bandwagon fans don't hang around for 34 years watching a team win only 5 division titles and 9 total playoff games in that time period.

And they should, that was a great team. There are a ton of Sox fans my age because we remember '93 fondly...Big Hurt, Bo, Fisk, Raines, Guillen, Ventura, Black Jack...I guess you could technically call us bandwagon fans from that era.
I'm not calling fans for 31 years bandwagoners. I'm just saying the Cubs didn't always have traditionally fantastic support, especially prior to '84. Their accessibility on WGN allowed them to continue gaining non-local fans, even throughout the lean years.
