I can't stand plastic fans, but can understand why a young lad/lass would have their heads turned by guaranteed glory, rather than the hard hours put in watching a club like ours. It's what's in your heart at the end of the day. There are no rules. I know loads my age who are livarpool fans cos they were the best in the late 70s early 80s. Sad fuckers have never set foot inside anfield Yep ma secondary school was full of them Turbo, we had the one Man Utd fan, also one Ipswich Town fan and The one and only Westie supporting The one and only Huddersfield Town ! Now while I’ve nothing for or against Liverpool or Manchester United it was amusing for me the night Man U overtook their record of titles as Harty the Man U fan took some (light hearted) but still incessant ribbing all through Secondary School from The Liverpool Regiment and he was one of ma best buddies in school and though he’s now in Dunoon we still keep in touch and he said he’d get his ‘revenge’ in The Ardview Inn on Port Ellen Sports Day that summer and to be there to witness it and he sure did - As a Town fan and therefore neutral in this it was brilliant to watch and listen to - 😊 It’s experiences like that which makes me thank ma maker for sending me in the direction of ma beloved Huddersfield Town ! 👍

Yes, your dad was a glory-hunting prick back in the day!

Good luck to them, I can’t think of a stadium in football with what would be a worse view of the action than any seat in that horrible ground must have given. Looked like if the town ground had the subs benches across the river and the nearest fans sitting in B&Q….utterly bizarre. A lad I know went there when Liverpool won in 2005, he said the stadium was a 4 hour coach ride from Istanbul And the pitch was another 20mins away from that!

Why wasn't there a "don't care" option to vote for? Genuine question, why did you open a thread on the subject of the Champions League final if you had no interest in it? It was indeed myself who created it Terrier Ramone - And like you very rightly said it’s not a competition that floats ma boat in any way whatsoever, though I was glad Manchester City won for the simple reason that it’s a new name on a reasonabley old trophy which is something I always like to see - and as we know any new name to be engraved on The European Cup in the future will have to purchase their way there so over to Newcastle United it is now ! I do enjoy the polls on DATM very much and with hindsight I should have created it say 48 hours in advance of the final and not the bloody 48 minutes that I spontaneously did ! 😬 I still haven’t seen the goal or the apparent glaring miss as I don’t have Sky or BT Sports but I’m sure I’ll stumble upon them at some point along the way... I really loved The European Cup in it’s knockout format and watched diligently how clubs from England and Scotland would progress dramatically or fail in sickening circumstances in their individual case of away goals theatre which has now also been taken away, but as for The Champions League and it’s absurd wealth - about to get worse in 2024/25 by all accounts - then nah - not ma cup of tea as they say... If I won tickets to last night’s final or tickets to The Clachnacuddin Women v Caithness Women match next Sunday in The SWPL Highland Women’s League then I’d choose the latter every time - Plus it’d be a lot cheaper economically wise (Jeez I’m starting to sound like the proverbial miser type Scotsman now) and I promise I’m absolutely not 😉 ! - But more importantly I’d enjoy the latter match far better !!! 😊 👍

All these posts about so-called “plastics” are very interesting. Unfortunately, they are a very real phenomenon and I expect everyone that posts on here know a few. For my part that includes our son-in-law who is a Man U fan even though he’s never been to Manchester. To be fair to him he’s generally always just gone to local non-league grounds.
However, with today’s saturation coverage of football on TV I can easily understand why there are genuinely so many “plastics” around nowadays.
Our eldest grandchild Henry will be six in October. Ever since the World Cup last October he’s been football mad. Like lots of kids his age he has got those sticker books for the Premier League and he gets to see his “favourites” Harry Kane and Jack Grealish a lot on TV. He’s got two England strips, a Man U strip (courtesy of his dad), an Arsenal away shirt, and a Town shirt and Sutton shirt courtesy of me. I went with him to football practice yesterday morning at his school and he was one of three boys wearing England strips, and there were other boys wearing Man U, Spurs and Chelsea shirts.No surprises there.
At his age Henry is too young to take to any “big” grounds yet. He’s loving going to places like Leatherhead or Carshalton Athletic, where there are crowds of 350 and the players talk to the young spectators. The biggest game he’s been to was Crawley v Harrogate Town about three months ago, so far his only league game, and that was only because he was free and I knew he could sit next to me and would have a good view.
I’m doing my bit to “encourage” him to be a Town fan, but that’s geographically unrealistic, and I also ask myself if I’m being fair to him. I’m only a Town fan because they were the first team my dad took me to see, but that was in the 1960’s, not the 2020’s. Different times. I’m from Birstall and the second game I ever went to was Leeds, mid 1960’s remember, and a great team. But it was too late, my first game was Town and so that was that.
Today Henry says he wants to be an Arsenal fan, but tomorrow he’ll say he supports Man City, then the day after it’ll be Spurs. It’s the way of the world nowadays. Maybe if I get him to a game at the JSS soon he will like it so much that he’ll decide he wants to be a Huddersfield Town fan. That’s my dream, but that’s my worry. Right now I think he can’t wait to get down to Leatherhead again, with his chips and pop, and his high-fives with the players as they come off the pitch. I guess the best thing to do is just let him make his own choice. I’m just hoping it won’t be a “big-6” club and I’d say the signs are fairly promising.

You never know, Epsom, he may well stay the course with Leatherhead. Those 348 others have resisted the urge to look elsewhere....so why not Henry!?

Totally agree , the biggest sign of an absolute sad bastard , a supposed fan who starts supporting the best team . My lad had a mate at school who supported 2 teams Real Madrid and Man City 😂 I can't stand plastic fans, but can understand why a young lad/lass would have their heads turned by guaranteed glory, rather than the hard hours put in watching a club like ours. It's what's in your heart at the end of the day. There are no rules. Bad parenting, simple as.

The plastic fan jibe is pathetic tbh, .imo..when Town had a hard core 13,000 fans a while back, were you the ones moaning about fans not going to games and how we don't deserve a club like Town, then we filled the stadium,the atmosphere was fantastic you said but then called them plastics when they stopped coming??

When we got to Wembley in 2017, they went, and all of a sudden got Season tickets. They have not been to a single game since we were relegated.

I was genuinely interested why he came on (& posted on) a thread he supposedly wasn't interested in.

But...so what? They spent some money at the club and contributed to the ground being relatively full...and plenty of them stuck around given numbers didn't drop to 'pre Wagner' levels...and they were relatively quick to return once Warnock started building some belief. (I think also a decent number of the supposed plastics are actually old-school fans who (rightly) became delusioned at various junctures in time - which would feed into the quick response to Warnock)

Maybe just let him have Town as his 2nd team, as long as he's learning to love football he can decide in a couple of years who his heart is with. My cousin is 60, he was born in the Forest of Dean and brought up in High Wycombe. As kids he was QPR but from his late teens he's been Town through and through, purely because that's where most of his mums side of the family lived.

To me, a plastic fan is one who will take the piss out of me watching Town while they get a Sky season ticket to watch their team on the telly. 2 lads at work were having a discussion about football (one supports Liverpool, the other City) a few months back, I made a comment and was told "this is PL talk, nowt to do with you". Neither of them have been near the Etihad or Anfield.

My nephew is 21 now and Town through and through. His dad is an Ipswich fan and his brother, quite understandably, follows Ipswich too. He’s a Town fan because his mum is from Huddersfield.
The best bit about is that he has always lived in Winchmore Hill, north London. Mixed Arsenal or Spurs area yet he chose Town from a young age and stuck with it, despite a full school life surrounded by Gooners and Spurs. The two PL years were gold dust to him.

Heard an amusing exchange on our street between a Liverpool and Man U fan last Sunday morning. Early, woke me up. The Liverpool fan was saying “Man U suck”, the Man U fan passive aggressively asked “how many cups did you win this season? Where did you finish in the league? I think we did a bit better than you, mate.” This is on a street in a rural village in the south west of England, where chances are neither have ever been to a game on either city. Nor could they point to it on a map. To be fair, the Liverpool fan was about 8 whereas the Man U fan is in his forties! Embarrassing. 😂

It was indeed myself who created it Terrier Ramone - And like you very rightly said it’s not a competition that floats ma boat in any way whatsoever, though I was glad Manchester City won for the simple reason that it’s a new name on a reasonabley old trophy which is something I always like to see - and as we know any new name to be engraved on The European Cup in the future will have to purchase their way there so over to Newcastle United it is now ! I do enjoy the polls on DATM very much and with hindsight I should have created it say 48 hours in advance of the final and not the bloody 48 minutes that I spontaneously did ! 😬 I still haven’t seen the goal or the apparent glaring miss as I don’t have Sky or BT Sports but I’m sure I’ll stumble upon them at some point along the way... I really loved The European Cup in it’s knockout format and watched diligently how clubs from England and Scotland would progress dramatically or fail in sickening circumstances in their individual case of away goals theatre which has now also been taken away, but as for The Champions League and it’s absurd wealth - about to get worse in 2024/25 by all accounts - then nah - not ma cup of tea as they say... If I won tickets to last night’s final or tickets to The Clachnacuddin Women v Caithness Women match next Sunday in The SWPL Highland Women’s League then I’d choose the latter every time - Plus it’d be a lot cheaper economically wise (Jeez I’m starting to sound like the proverbial miser type Scotsman now) and I promise I’m absolutely not 😉 ! - But more importantly I’d enjoy the latter match far better !!! 😊 👍 My question wasn't for you Westie, it was for the poster who posted on your thread questioning why there wasn't a "who cares" option. I was genuinely interested why he came on (& posted on) a thread he supposedly wasn't interested in. Aye no probs Terrier Ramone ! 👍 - But Ta much for clarification anyway... 😊 Slainte Math (Cheers) Fae Westie ! 🥃

The plastic fan jibe is pathetic tbh, .imo..when Town had a hard core 13,000 fans a while back, were you the ones moaning about fans not going to games and how we don't deserve a club like Town, then we filled the stadium,the atmosphere was fantastic you said but then called them plastics when they stopped coming?? Make your minds up.. To me, a plastic fan is one who will take the piss out of me watching Town while they get a Sky season ticket to watch their team on the telly. 2 lads at work were having a discussion about football (one supports Liverpool, the other City) a few months back, I made a comment and was told "this is PL talk, nowt to do with you". Neither of them have been near the Etihad or Anfield. The best bit about plastics is how they believe that because they support a better team than you their knowledge of the game and ability to play it is also better. Thank god for work 5aside football where you get to expose them for the absolute frauds they are.
