I'm also one of the newer fans been a fan since 06/07, but honestly I wasn't in to football before that except to watch my kids play. However, I know a lot about sticking with a team for the lean years. My alma mater is shit in American Football and has nanoseconds of brilliance every 10 years or so but I stick by them no matter what because they are my team. I'll stick with Chelsea the same way because they are my team. I love coming to TalkChelsea because I get to hear all of the long time fans share their stories and learn more about the team.
