All clubs have fair weather fans, even yours an d always will have no matter how successful they are , I widnae class myself as a fair weather fan , I go up when I can Nae matter how shite we're playing. It is sometimes frustrating when you play well and the fan numbers dinnae respond, if I lived up the road I'd be at every game, as I was before I moved away. There are a few reasons why fans lose interest in bread and butter games in the league, the Rangers Celtic love in promoted by the media, most clubs starting the season knowing they're on a loser before a ba's kicked(playing each other 4 times a season only helps the bigger clubs) and just the boredom o' playing each other 4 times a season. I think our clubs could play each other 7 or 8 times this season. But it is what it is and until clubs wake up and decide tae change things then they just have tae deal wi' it GGTTH
I'm in a similar boat. If I tried to go to every game i'd be spending 3k plus a year - there's no justifying that.
And yes "someone else's allocation" because my brother, who's allocation it is, can't make use of them. No one else is missing out because of it.
I'll also be at the QoS game, the Dumbarton game and, if I can get the tickets, Raith Rovers away.

You are not a qualified source to talk about anyones support being fair weather - behave ffs.
I'm well qualified, because I'm not a fair weather fan. I'll spend a much money attending 3 or 4 games as some people will on a season ticket. And I'll attend any game thats being played while I'm there not just the glamour games.
If you think driving over 1000 miles to attend games against the likes of Arbroath and Clyde isn't a show of support then I'd say you're just wrong.
You have no idea who these people you castigate as 'fair weather's' are or what their circumstances are or how they support the club.
People who go regular can make those kind of judgements if they want not someone who goes to 3 games a year.
You'll just have to accept that I can and do make that judgement.
21k fair weather fans. Get some t-shirts printed.
