There's a spectrum isn't there.... at one end is the football fan purist who believes that not going to Yeovil for a reserve match on a cold winter evening is an act of betrayal against the club. Anyone who fails to make the trip is not a true fan.
Then you've got the fan who will only go if it's Chelsea at home in the FA Cup and doesn't care what others think.
And on another dimension those who are guided by principle (hate the owners, hate the format, hate commercialisation etc) and those oblivious to that sort of stuff.
I seem to be able to glide along these two dimensions as circumstances arise. Consequentally, I'm not going for similar reasons as Accymad... until we get to Wembley when I will go and at the same time be able to shake my head in despair at my fellow travellers remembering that they probably weren't at the 3-2 defeat at Stevenage away one tuesday night two seasons ago.
