Would you be good enough to provide us with the definition of a "true" supporter? I have seen this phrase used a number of times over the years so I am beginning to suspect there is some secret hierarchy of supporters that I am as of yet unaware. I would assume that I am less of a supporter than say, Jimbo T Hornblower, because he used to stand on the terraces and still does when he returns to the Accrington area whereas I have never even been to Accrington. Of course, it would follow that the two of us are even lower down the ranks than someone with a season ticket and that much further from a person who attends the odd away match as well as the home games. Does watching the two Cup ties broadcast on TV over here help my status at all? Do I get bonus points for signing up with the OSC or taking a share in sponsoring a player with the World Wide Reds or making purchases from the club shop? I want to join you in the ranks of the True Supporters -- I just need to know how to get there.
