[/QUOTE]Surely the definition of a supporter is 'one who supports their club'.
Quite, but what defines "Support" or its parameters?
After months of no football, what true supporter wouldn't want to see their team play against Premier League opponents?
True supporters? Again who or what defines a "True supporter"
I accept your comments, but can't understand someone who calls themselves a Stanley supporter (& lives locally) not wanting to attend friendlies on the basis that they 'can't be bothered'.
"Can't be bothered" has many connotations & reasons, so unless you can fully understand the underlying rationalisation of why, judgement shouldn't be so scathing.
If we all adopted that attitude, the club might as well not bother arranging any, as there'd only be away fans at the match.
And your rational for your final comment is based on ...... ?

A rather emotive subject it appears, but as MH stated, each to their own in their abilities to support as & when & how they can. Shouldn't that be sufficient? I live abroad so can only fit in what fixtures are available when I'm home, I've even juggled my leave around specific periods to maximise my chances of seeing the lads play home & away.
If I lived in the UK I suppose I would also be one of the no shows for friendlies, maybe not all but I'd assume the majority because like most folk I've got "other commitments" & as such couldn't just drop everything & swan off to the Footy.
Moderation in all things springs to mind & we should all be happy in the fact that folks will turn to as & when they can to support how they can "Our Stanley".
