They just disappoint me, they have no links to either club, the only reason they say they support then is glory hunting.

I take it you have the same opinion about foreign fans then?
Why are you not a walsall fan amiga?!
Also if one is a Liverpool fan then can they really be called glory hunters?
Born and bred in Wolverhampton Nick, but to be fair if they had even said a Midlands club, I would have had more respect.
I have meet Chelsea fans from all continents of the globe and there's some fans in Bolivia are more passionate than fans who live on the Kings Road.
There's many ways you can identify a plastic/spoiled supporter but location isn't one of them.
by, I'm sure there are all sorts of fans, those from other countries are probably supporting their local team too.
If they had said Wolves, Villa, someone local at least, it wouldn't bother me. Chelsea. ffs
I tend to separate plastics from true supporters. Your average plastic glory fan probably goes to watch his chosen team once in a blue moon while a supporter will go and watch his team week in week out regardless of results, weather or league position.
What I do struggle to understand is those that travel hundreds of miles to regularly watch a team just because they are successful when they have a local club on their doorstep.
i'd hate being a chelsea or liverpool fan even a genuine non glory hunter because everyone would class me as a plastic.
would be the same if my missus had massive t!ts ...............
liverpool, liverpool, liverpool
well i've had season tickets at chelsea for 20 years and I don't think anyone has labelled me as a plastic...
To be fair supporting another club isn't the issue, when I had my season ticket in the South Bank, there were two guys sitting next to me travelling all the way from Leeds.
I can't remember why they said they supported Wolves, but one things for sure, it wasn't glory hunting.
I am a glory Hunter Amiga, I have never lived in Wolverhampton.

I know what you're getting at goldi, but I assume you dont just mean people travelling hundreds of miles to watch a team. You presumably mean people travelling such distances to a location they have no geographical or family connection with. I haven't lived in Wolverhampton for 60 years but was born and bred there, and attended St Lukes school. I first stood on the South bank round about 1957 and have been a massive supporter since that day.
On Saturday I will be doing a round trip of approximately 300 miles to watch us progress to the 4th round of the FA Cup.
In beween those two days I like almost all of us have had a few days of exhilaration and, sadly, many more of despair. None of those down days have or could ever affect the strength of the ties I have with MY club

Not sure I agree with that scenario Oldgoldilox. I have followed/supported Wolves for over 50 years. When I lived in the UK, I would go to our home games as and when circumstances allowed it. Living South of the river meant a 300+ mile journey, either by car (mostly), or by train. There are also those who may not be able to afford to go to many games, yet follow the Wolves with a passion. Now of course, living here in the States, prevents me from going to matches, unless I can fit one in when returning to visit family and friends. Unfortunately, our last visit back in October, was during the International break.
So do fans of this great club like me get branded as a 'plastic fan'?

There seems to be plenty of "plastic" fans at Molineux this season. Suddenly come out of the woodwork ready for the PL. Seems to have had quite an effect on the South Bank as there is a lot less chanting than the last few seasons when we had less to cheer. Even on Tuesday, they were quiet until Wolves scored the first goal.
The atmosphere was brilliant after that of course.
An unfortunate knock on effect to success which we knew would come and if we do end up being a top six/seven club we will see plenty more.
Two years ago i hated the thought but having seen clubs 'cheat' to win success i have become cold to it and if you can't beat them you may as well join them.
The only thing i hope doesn't happen is that we don't join the ass clowns on the threads on this site that talk nothing but the top six and ignore the rest, i hope we never show that arrogance.
It's not all for Glory
I had a mate Birmingham born and bred supported the blues his favourite player as a kid was a chap called Fred Pickering Birmingham sold him to Blackpool so this might of mine packed up Birmingham and decides he's Blackpool supporter when he got old enough for a motorbike license he buys himself a Honda 50 then goes up to Blackpool regular from Birmingham to support his team
on the way back from a night game he breaks down at Penkridge by the side of a canal and hadthe bright idea if chicken is on the 50 in the canal and claiming on the insurance so he chucked it in the canal and then phoned his dad to come and fetch him.
tells his dad what he done and his dad says you blooming idiot you've only got third party !
true story they're not very bright plastics
"if chicken is on the 50"
the funny thing was I understood every word
