There is a distinctive difference between a fan and a supporter. Many people do not subscribe to the deep implication in declaring being either a fan or a supporter but just follow the leader. Sometimes it ends up to a blind leading the blind situation with a disastrous end result.
For e.g. major soccer clubs around the world, they would have official supporters club and the support from their supporters are through tested times of the club i.e. the agony and ecstasy. The initiative for supporting a particular team normally stems from the deep believe system of an individual and difficult to converta supporter to support another team.
Fans on the other hand is likened to "lallang" and they go with the flow. They are an easily influenced bunch of people and dictated to follow a certain leader/instruction. These fans are seasonal, meaning that they appear at it's hype and moves away when everything is done while relinquishing their believe system on what they were set upon.
So we would rather have 10 supporters rather then 100 fans!
Finally, are you a fan or supporter?
