What do the fans really want? By SK
What does an average football fan really want? This probably may be the question on the minds of football coaches and administrators? What makes an average football fan happy? Is it trophies? Bragging rights? Or just the pleasure enjoyed in watching your football team play and win games? What does an average Arsenal fan want?
Before we go into finding at what an average football fan wants, maybe we should try and define who the modern day football fan is…the average football fan is that person who supports a particular club or groups of clubs with all his heart and passion. He wants to watch his club win games and trophies, as well as doing well financially. The average football fan is the live wire of a football match, as their voices are heard around the stadium where there club is playing a football match! So, what does an average football fan want in exchange for his passion and support?
Now, what does an average Arsenal fan want from his club? Simple! His needs can be divided into three basic things, which are: to watch his team play beautifully, to watch his team compete and win trophies and finally, to be heard whenever he has an opinion.
To watch his team play beautiful football can be said to be the number desire of an Arsenal fan. The Arsenal fan is used to watching his team take charge of football match; enjoy the highest share of possession and to play the opponents into submission. Arsenal has always been known to be a team that loves playing beautiful and attractive football. Even when they lose a game, the consolation of the fan lies in the fact that they lost gallantly. The type of football we are witnessing now from Arsenal, is not how Arsenal plays. The fans need an improvement ASAP!
To watch his team compete and win trophies is one desire of the fan that the club must try to achieve. A football fan wants to brag with his team’s success! He wants to boast to his friends who don’t support his team about the capabilities of his team. What is the joy of supporting a team that cares less about winning trophies? Arsenal has not won a lot of trophies recently and the fans are clearly not happy with this. They need to be compensated for their loyalty towards the club, with a trophy soon.
The average Arsenal fan wants his voice to be heard concerning certain issues affecting the club. At times, it takes the voices of the fans to move the club into taking drastic steps that will improve the lots of the club. The fans as of today are not happy that Wenger is still the coach of the club, and the club’s owners must act and calm the nerves of the fans by sacking Wenger! Enough said.
What do you guys really want as compensation for supporting Arsenal for so long?
