So for someone to do 500 or even a thousand is going to be difficult

How many fans have followed the band throughout their whole career

Personally I've been following since Feb 87 and I think I've done around 200 as I didn't miss many UK gigs in late 80's early 90's

It doesn't matter whether you've seen 1,10 or 100 as long as you're going to see them

It's not a competition is it

Can we stop with this  childish nonsense?

Wow, I thought Space had passed his sell by date for providing laugh out loud comments, but the above, coming from him,, priceless

Space how many more times are are you gonna jerk off by telling you bought an SG? It's getting kinda boring.

No, boring is the people saying, "I saw the band twelve times in Leipzig back in '98."
My, God, people here believe the higher the number you've seen a band live, the bigger the fan you are. That's boring.

No,, if you read the post which details all the gigs the band have played year on year, the poster said exactly the opposite. The only person claiming biggest fan status is you Space. ---Even though your favourite band is the Beatles

Of course I am claiming bigest NMA fan status. I started this thread and said it will be a friendly competition: who is the biggest NMA fan here? I gave three reasons why it is me. So far no one has given reasons why they should take away my crown. 
And remember, folks, it's a friendly competition. No one's feelings are to be hurt here. Just a fun exercise.

B)
No doubt my favorite band is The Beatles, but in no way would I claim to be the biggest fan on Earth of theirs. Yes, I have a ton of the same guitars they used, but no I never had to buy a Region free DVD player in order to watch their videos, and, no, I never co-wrote any tunes with Lennon or McCartney.

No, I'm not "The Biggest Beatles Fan" on Earth, but I clearly am "The Biggest New Model Army" fan.

Space,
Is it really that hard to understand what I've said?

[Space]

Well, I say it is a competition. It's my thread. I started this as a friendly competition.

Just because you can't win you post: "It's not a competition." How convenient for you.
I guess England in 2014 World Cup also said "It's not a competition." Do you accept that from them?

Last gig at Manchester Ritz, just a couple of rows in front of me was the biggest NMA fan I ever saw. Bloody huge he was. I didn't tell him though.

I think I saw that guy in Cambridge as well. 
He was not just tall but also rather large when it comes to weight.

Can we stop with this "how many times have you seen them live" childish nonsense?

Why? No one is saying anyone who has seen them X time is a better person. However NMA are primarily a live band (unlike the Beatles post 66) and many people have gone to watch them many times. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask if anyone has seen them a certain number of times.

Only one who noticed. Good eye.

childish nonsense

Did you not read any of the posts?  The general conclusion was that it didn't matter how many times you saw the band.  Then you have to go on your stupid rant and claim that you're a bigger fan.  I'm more than a bit tired of your nonsense.
