I have just realised that I’ve been using tourist fan incorrectly. I didn’t realise it meant non spurs fans who were just there to watch football. Then I don’t mind, I quite like them in fact.
I thought it was a new fangled term for glory hunter and referred to those who couldn’t care less when we were poor but now we’re suddenly super fans who know everything. Then I can’t stand, as I believe that if you don’t support the club equally (or even more so) in tough times, you don’t deserve to enjoy the good times. It’s not about attendance or anything like that, I get that paying x amount to watch us play badly is less justifiable than paying it to watch us play well, it’s just the fickleness inherent in fans like that, because the fans who weren’t willing to take the rough are the same fans pretty much who turn on the players when it goes badly, mocked Sissoko, castigate Lloris continuously, deride Winks and now Skipp for not being Iniesta, etc.... and then leave on the 80th minute when the game is still tight.
