Gold Coast true believers- what makes them the people they are?

So 10,000 people turn up to watch the rain fall for 20 odd minutes Gold Coast - 23,000 scammed a free ticket but many were turned off by the rain.

Which makes you wonder what sort of people, football fans, these Gold Coast rain revellers are.

And where are they during the season?

Will they never pay to watch football? Do they not enjoy going to a game? Surely if you make the effort to come when it's chucking it down with rain, surely you'd come once or twice during a season. Surely?

And surely they must have thought the game would have been unplayable if they'd watched any of the previous home games on TV or indeed been to a game in recent weeks.

They did know it was raining right?

Great idea from Clive and wonderful to see a turnout but really will these fans only come when the sun isn't shining or it's free.

We'll come if it's free! Shades of Mike Cockerill begging and imploring Frank Lowy to put his hand in his pocket to save the league.
