Disagree. The "real" supporters are the ones who turn up when things aren't going so well.
There's the thing.....
Tigers averaged 13k last year and 19k this year, that means a 6k bandwagon.
I have no idea who they are, but I'm glad they came.
And there is absolutely no way of telling a bandwagoner from a diehard in a 20k crowd in Sydney. I see blokes in old Magpies and Balmain jerseys all the time, that just means they own an old Balmain or Magpies jersey, it doesn't automatically mean they're a diehard.

I'd rather a comfortable capacity than hanging from the rafters. Thanks to the bandwagon, the hills at DFS are so crowded. You used to be able to spread out, now we're packed in like sardines. And I get sick of hearing "I've always liked the Cowboys" from people I've never heard mention them before.
Maybe its different for you because of where you are geographically but there's not much chance of a Wests Tigers supporter knowing too many of the people around them at a home game.
I'd rather be a bit uncomfortable in a 20k crowd than be comfortable in a 10k crowd.
