[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 764349, member: 55747"] It may sound weird but there is a logic behind it and it has to do with how he see loyalty, which is a paramount value for us. Some people, quite a few actually, believe it is quite easy to follow a team when it's winning, buy the shirt, post ad nauseam on facebook/twitter and market yourself as a hardcore fan. When people who've been following the team for a long time, particularly through bad times, see this, they generally do not like it. Not one bit. Think of it as a swallow-bird-fan: when the weather is good, they'll be there, screaming and pretending to care. Kinda like annoying attention whores. But when the **** hits the fan they are nowhere to be found. A lot of people think about fans in terms of quality and not quantity. Being there as a supporter when your team wasn't doing good is a way of earning your stripes as a fan. You don't even have to actually "support", you can criticize, but you have to be part of the conversation because that means you care. I'm exaggerating a bit for descriptive purposes but the principle is pretty much that. [/QUOTE]
