Using singers or authors as an analogy is rather churlish. You don't "support" a singer or author. You may like them but will have numerous others you listen to or read.

Generally people support one football club and perhaps like, or have a soft spot, for a couple of others.

Anyway, it was more about "plastic" fans not getting the real highs with success that come with having a genuine connection with your club.
