Quote:i understand that. i guess what i mean is they dont have as many bandwagon fans.

 

Right, but when I noted as the 1st post on this subject matter that it's "detrimental" to the fanbase, by stating detrimental, I meant heat breaking and devastating.  I didn't mean the fans would abandon the team if they got relegated.  Last year, I recall watching Newcastle as they were on the verge of relegation and again this year when Sunderland lost to Bournemouth and were mathematically relegated, those fans just sat in their seat and cried in a state of shock after the game ended. 

 

Funny you mentioned loyalty because I'd definitely believe that without a doubt form the UK natives but when I see a Chelsea jersey here in the US, I just think bandwagon.
