Sick of hearing on here that the extra people going to the game on Tuesday aren't "proper supporters" or are "plastic".
The reason is that people who don't have season tickets don't go to every game.
If you're not going to go to every game, you'd pick the cup game against the champions as one of the ones you do go to wouldn't you?
So unless you think everyone without a season ticket isn't a proper supporter (if you do you're an idiot), think again and stop calling those of us going on Tuesday "plastic".
Rant over.
EDIT: I live near Leeds and go to about 6 games a season. This is because I have more things going on in my life so don't want to go every week. I'm not a member because there isn't a benefit as I don't want to go to away games and aren't bothered about getting tickets for big games. Am I "plastic"? If you think I am you're an idiot!!

If someone actually genuinely follows the teams results, performances etc. but only makes it to 5 or so games a season, then fair enough.
Just the fact that you are registered on this website shows you follow the team, even if you don't get to games. No-one on this Leeds forum are 'plastic fans'.
There will be a lot of people at the game on Tuesday who don't actively follow the team, don't know many of the players and the only game they went to last season was the Arsenal game.

IMO a FAN ( FANATIC !!) is someone who follows the team reads up about them, has banter with ie/her mates, whatches out for results on the telly & maybe buys a scarf or a car sticker etc......a SUPPORTER is a person who actually supports a club, who turns up at the games, one who puts regular monies into the club TO ACTUALLY HELP IN THE RUNING !!!
But that does not mean a supporter is more is more of a fan than a fan !!!!

i was considered plastic 2 years ago because i was skint (only 17 at the time) but last year got some money membership and went home and away got a season this season just before i became jobless but still went to games! people who blame distance look for the local supporters coach! if its a money issue then it can't be helped!

Go to as many or as few games as you like, you can still be a Leeds fan. Some people are more vociferous in their support than others but that's their choice.

Being vociferous simply means you're vociferous!

Eric, it doesn't matter what you think of certain posters on here, if you actively follow the team (which includes being on this site) then you're a supporter. People that aren't, are the ones who will be at the game tomorrow but not recognise certain players, not know whether we won the last game, not know where we finished last season and will complain at the players whenever a first touch is poor because they expect everyone to be Prem standard.

A Leeds United fan is a Leeds United fan, however you look at it.
