On this census day an additional question:-
Do you consider yourself
a) a supporter - it's my team whatever
b) a fanatic - to lose a game is a disaster
c) a fan - I like the way they play/entertain
Just to provoke what Tigers fans ( the best) make of themselves.
Not to complete does not carry a fine of a £1000
A fanatic is always ready for an argument
Supporter, Fanatic or just a fan?

Supporter - frayed at the edges by the last 5 years, but still champing at the bit to return to WR and test longlivethecrumbie's patience with my running commentary. 
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Generally supporter, occasionally drift into fanatic...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Dunno.....What's the question again?
A fanatical suppoter I guess.... Not necessarily the result.. Like we lost yesterday, but with effort and dignity intact.

Supporter, for about 50 years now, although I only manage a couple of games a season at Welford Road.

.. isn't fan a derivative or fanatic!!!
Anyway, as a label, I would class myself as a fanatic.

Supporter.
Through thick and thin.
During the very good times (of which we’ve had more than anyone else)
During the bad times
Supporter. Always.

Re: Supporter, Fanatic or just a fan?
I'm a supporter.
Tigers losing a game isn't a disaster to me. It stings a little bit and I can be a bit grumpy for a while. But there are many things far worse. It's sport and meant to be fun. If it upsets you that much you really need to have a look at yourself.
I'm a fan of rugby in general.
