Pre plastics ?

[H block]

If plastics is the term to describe those fans that only come along when things are good then I want to know what is the term for fans who went to Withdean, week in and week out in all weathers and maybe even the Goldstone days when it was at its grimmest.
I like categories and I need to know.
Were we metals or something ?

I think you're getting 'plastics' confused with 'JCLs'. The generally accepted definition of a 'plastic' is someone who supports a big club from the comfort of their armchair or pub lounge whilst ignoring or sneering at the efforts of their local team.

I see. But can you have plastic JCL`s though.

What a horrible thought! But, yes, I suppose you can!

Goldstone = dry (northstand roof) Priestfield = wet, Withdean = wet. Amex = FANBLOODYTASTIC. That's what I call them.

For a variety of reasons I don't get to go anywhere near as much as I used to. But having seen us play league games at the likes of Halifax, Cambridge Utd and Barnet I've always thought of myself as a 'small game charlie'.

I went to the Goldstone, never went to Priestfield, went to Withdean (not all the time) and now own three season tickets. I apreciate those who went week in and week out and realise they have kept club going. The terms plastic and JCL are a joke we are all supporters I will renew my seasons year in and year out as long as my sons want to go. Please don't be hostile it just makes certain people sound elitist we hopefully are getting another 8000 seats next year Probally a lot of people that have never been before . I say welcome and onwards and upwards a bit of a waffle but hopefully you get the point. This is not meant to be a dig

What about the time the North stand didn't have a roof? Moist?
