    People who ask questions like the 1 in the title are usually the ones that don't go to games but buy all the shirts and think that because they do that they are actually a supporter.</p>

    I consider myself a supporter. I have a season ticket for Anfield and have done for many many years.Ive seen the greatest teams to ever grace the turf throughout the years and some shite during the 90's.I used to go home and away but had to knock most of the aways on the head because of financial reasons. I still go to the odd away in the north west when I can get a ticket but through the years I have travelled the length and breadth of the country and have numerous tales totell some funny some scary. I've also donea few European grounds (the last being Athens which nearly ended in divorce). I don't buy the shirts or anything like that because it costs enough before all that starts. <u>I have only missed5 home games in the last 23 years</u> in the league and various cups so have spent the equivilant of a small African nation over the years.</p>

    Ive got a strange feeling that there won't be many posts after this 1!!!!!!!!!.</p>

    </div></p>

    Which games did you miss?</p>

    I haven't missed a home match in last4 years.</p>

    The way i've worded it seems to me like i'm explaining what a <u>supporter</u> is. So obviously the"don't goes" are fans. If you don't go to a match you can be a <u>fan</u> of a team because you aren't actually supporting the club financially or vocally.If in the future I stop going to the match I will become a fan of the team.</p>

    well how many games a season would you say was worthy of a supporter. I go to about 10 homegames a season as i live about a 5 hour journey away from the emirates. Then i will go to other games that are close to me e.g. Pompey Vs. Arsenal</p>

    lol i couldn't afford one obviously. My dad would get two for the both of us back then and he said he still would now if we still lived there. I still think 10 or so games on average on the league alone is a good result for someone that lives 5 hours away. So far in 2007 i have been to 18 games.</p>
