5 Types Of Soccer Fans You Will Find At Viewing Centres

Fans are the ones who make football interesting to
watch. Imagine an empty stadium without fans!
Boring, right. Their noise, boos and shenanigans
create a fever pitch and energetic atmosphere such
that viewers never have a dull moment all through
the game.
In Lagos, there are viewing centres in nearly all the
nooks and crannies of the city. And at the weekend,
fans troop to these centres to watch their favourite
teams, especially those playing in Europe playing the
game of soccer. At these various centres, you are
likely to find all kinds of football fans and
Jovago.com, identifies five of these.
The Passionate Fan
The passionate fan is more like the die-hard
aficionado. He does not miss any of the games played
by his team. Their mood is very predictable: happy
when their team is winning and sad whenever they
lose. This fan can only be approached when his team
is victorious.
The Bad Belle Fan
The primary mission of this type of fan is to taunt
other fans. They are experts in bad mouthing
everything about the teams or coaches that they
utterly dislike to the annoyance of other fans. You
find them at all viewing centres.
The Football Professors
These are the football encyclopaedias. They are the
‘google’ of their favourite teams. For example, if they
support Arsenal, they can tell you everything about
the club from the number of trophies won, to set
records and many other relevant statistics that an
average fan would not know. You don’t want to
argue with this type fan because they are very
opinionated. They believe that their statistics will
win them any argument in soccer.
The Betting Fan
Sports betting is the trend now. There are many
betting companies in Lagos today where you can
place a bet on different games daily. The betting fan
is always at the edge of his seat as he follows the live
score of the different teams he placed his bet on.
They have little or no passion for the game but are
just concerned about the bets so that can win some
cash.
The Neutral Fan
They are neither passive nor active; they just love
watching and enjoying good football. If they are
asked the team they support, the response is “I
support any winning team’!They just love soccer!
