Doesn't matter when you started supporting. Just support through high's and low's

Hello everyone!!!!I just want you to ask do you think i am a Glory hunter????I live in Lviv,Ukraine(Euro 2012 host city).I started to support Chelsea after CL game Chelsea 4:2 Barcelona in 2005(i was 15 years old at the moment).Because of our expensive prices for sport channels i did not have opportunity to watch any of Premier league games before,so i did not know anything about Chelsea.I didn`t know about money they had or their leadership in premier league.I was just so disappointed after ronaldinho`s second goal,so when Terry scored winning goal i was screaming like a crazy:)So after that game i started to support that amazing team and watch their CL games until Liverpool stoped them.And then in Ukraine they started to show premier league games on tv so i tried not to miss any their game till today.Basically i am watching Chelsea games since 2005/2006 session.I`ve never been to England so i am dreaming about Stamford Bridge and one day i will go there.I know Chelsea history,not perfectly but a lot.I have scarf,three jerseys and video collection of game highlights from 2006 to nowadays.I know it might sound crazy but i am trying to collect anything that has name Chelsea on it.I am pretty sure i would support them even if they would play in second division.There is also my local team i am supporting because i feel responsible for that.So does it makes me a glory hunter???In fact i don`t care if someone would call me glory hunter because it doesn't matter.I still will support Chelsea and i don`t need to prove anything to anyone but just out of curiosity do you consider me as a glory hunter???Sorry for my English!!!

There's your answer. It doesn't matter when or why you started supporting the club and it certainly doesn't matter what others call you as long as you support the club through thick and thin.

I have a very simple outlook towards supporting football teams.

Support who the hell you want. I don't care if you support a club that is 10,000 miles away. As long as you support that club through thick and thin, and do not foresake it for another during the bad times, then you are a true supporter.

Thank you very much for all your answers!!!!!!!You made me love Chelsea even more

Nothing wrong in being a Gloryhunter.... Everyone in the world is a glory hunter in some way or another....

I think there is a difference between a glory hunter and someone who just supports a top European team outside their homeland. We have never won the UCL, only been champions of England 4 times and won other trophies here n there really. Glory hunters are the guys who support Liverpool so they can gloat about the 5 European cups and 18 league titles they've won or Barca fans that have supported them since 2009 when they became the best team in the world, winning everything. I think, if you're a glory hunter and you're a Chelsea fan, you chose the wrong team.

Ditto.

The people who go on about 'plastic fans', 'no history', 'big club' etc show themselves up for what they are - the fakest spoilt glory hunting muppets going.

Not necessarily true. A lot of people who have been Chels since the 60s, for instance, and have seen the real tough times such as the 80s, I think they're quite right when they say some of the current generation have been spoilt by our success. I don't think it makes you a 'glory hunter' for being honest. Just my personal view, unless I''ve read your post incorrectly, and you're talking about supporters of teams like Liverpool who always slag us off? It's just because they're jealous

As long as you were never a supporter of a different team then you are not a glory hunter. We have a lot of fans from all over the world who had no interest in football prior to watching Chelsea and that makes me so proud and they are in my opinion true supporters of the club. Say for example if you supported Porto and then you watch Chelsea and you like Chelsea then you support Chelsea then you are not a true supporter of Chelsea football club in my opinion. The reason why is because if Chelsea had not been a high profile club then Chelsea FC would never have landed on your radar, this is why you'll never find a Cardiff supporter overseas in places like South Korea. You could then say that Chelsea football club would never have landed in the non football supporters radar either but the sheer fact that individuals had no interest in football to begin with solidifies my argument.

Im a glory hunter ..but just fucking bad at picking the right team

[Trueblue1982 48]

What would make you a glory hunter if you jump ship and 'supported another EPL club, say if city won the title this season and then you support city thats what would make you a glory hunter, so no your not, If at the start of the match you talk about you wanted chelsea to win, and at the end you was jumping around because united won, that would make you a glory hunter and the fact your still hear this season, there is ya answer, No you are not a glory hunter.

I asked a very similar question when I first arrived.

Welcome mate!

[Kojo 4,676]

I pretty much supported Chelsea when Abramovich was here, because it wont really count when i was little, my dad was a huge supporter of Chelsea, he had me in the kits when i was little, it's always been my favourite club, but i don't think it would really count, because i would of been like 7 i think when Roman took over the club, i still have football memories but not many, i remember my favourite player was Ronaldinho, i used to buzz over him when i was little. But as far as i can remember i have always loved Chelsea, and i wasn't really forced into it, i could've chosen another club when i was older, but always loved this one.

[petr.breu 1,618]

Yeah, some stupid idiots, who are mostly fans of Manchester United or Barcelona, call me gloryhunter too...But who cares... I support Chelsea with all my heart already for 8 years, not because Roman Abramovich, but because Petr Čech joined Chelsea... Since that time I love Chelsea more and more and I don't care if we win or lose, i'm always behind the club 100%... I spend hours a week reading about Chelsea, discussing, watching matches, proudly wearing Chelsea shirts and I enjoying it... I'm pretty sure I'll be always behind Chelsea and I'm proud which team I support... So don't care about these idiots and support continuously...

Win or lose, up the Blues!

Second time's the charm

When I started supporting Chelsea, it wasn't for the money or glory, no. It was for much more important things, ya know...the colors, shirt, badge, name, etc. Growing up outside of the UK means none of us international fans will be "born" into a club. However we got here don't matter. It only matters that were here. KTBFFH!
