I was referring more to followers of other clubs, usually the big ones.Yeah the type that get mixed up between Frazer and Francis and can’t talk about AFCB without mentioning Harry Redknap .
Still I prefer it now to when the entire town didn’t give a sh*t other than the 5 thousand odd hardcore .

Whether you were at the Winter Gardens or not?
As a kid was taken to a Pantomime there, think then amongst its many names over the years, it was the Hippodrome.Nah, too many hangers on for that one. Needs to be those who attended the Boscombe Opera House
Really worthwhile article Fritter- thanks for sharing. I guess the commercialisation (I like the phrase commodification) of football is bound to follow its global appeal- and I think its global appeal is down to the relative simplicity of the game (f#ck VAR), some pretty good marketing and/but maybe above all the passion of the fans heard in the stadiums- without us the TV offering and therefore commercial success of the game would be really sterile. I've got no problem with visiting fans from overseas or wherever but clubs while welcoming all have got to stay loyal to their historic fans and rooted to their past- I think they call it their heritage assets?- because surely that's part of what new fans- local or not, young or old, find attractive and compelling about the club. How folk in the States can be "fans" of a franchise team that could call anywhere home from year to year is beyond me. Then you're just supporting a brand which is a pretty ethereal thing to pin your flag to. And talking of heritage assets- any update on resurrecting Nonny's vid before kick off? I still really miss it and think our pre-match preps are much the poorer without it.The cultural division of football fans only serves those who wish to exploit it | Jonathan Liew
The battle between ‘true fans’ and ‘plastics’ weakens the ties between supporters and their inclination to unite and organisewww.theguardian.com
This is a really interesting piece. It shows how things are changing and the way that I believe our owners aspire to.
The final paragraphs sum it up for me.
(PS I haven't put 'non' as I think it relates directly to AFCB.
'In a way these are wider existential questions, striking at the heart of what a football club is, and who it serves. How do you balance the idea that a football club is for everyone against the idea that it is a thing with roots, bound to a locality and a community? How do you balance a fandom expressed through longstanding ritual against a fandom expressed by getting up at 3am to watch Jonny Evans on a tiny screen? How do we reject the false oppositions between “local working class” and “wealthy tourist”, between “true fans” and “plastics”?
A fanbase splinters along multiple planes. But when it does, the only people who really benefit are those with an interest in exploiting it.'
Nah, not really, I watch on the telly with the sound off can't be doing with all that noise!That article misses one key point. That without the atmosphere generated by match going supporters the plastics wouldn’t bother and tv would have little to sell.
So **************** off Sky etc basically.
What if they are supporting the team their dad did? I must say it should be a legacy of any Bournemouth fan to spawn more cherries no matter where you liveI have to say I am a complete football snob and I just don't have anything in common, or any respect really, for people who support one of the big teams when they aren't from there.
Obviously I can get on with them on other topics but I just won't engage with them on the topic of football - not interested in what they've got to say. There's people I've worked with for years who have no idea I watch football.
