Fair weather follower

I'm a mad granny A-League Jets supporter. Do all the stuff like dress up, wave the flag, yell at the ref, and sing the chants. They're not doing so well, but, I'm the type to never say die. Just wondering how many other die hards are out there, no matter the code. I support my team, win-lose-or draw. I go to all the home games and watch the too far away games at pubs or clubs. My son thinks I'm following the wrong team. I say, it doesn't matter. What do you think?

I am not a fair weather follower but it is difficult maintaining enthusiasm, and making excuses. when your team is thrashed continually. But I belkieve you should support your team 'come hail or shine'!

Good on ya Roddles. I think any team, whether it's under 8's or Dad's Army deserves "hail or shine" supporters. That's why I do what I do. Last game I went to was away and hubby and I were all alone in a sea of opposition, but I still flew the flag. Funny how you get looked at as though you're a trespasser. Never mind, I'll just hit em with my cane ... just jokin.
