Fan support grew accordingly, which leads to some these new supporters being accused of “jumping on the bandwagon”.

Which, of course, leads us back to the question from the top, why “I” found this label “very annoying.”

From context, you can fairly accurately assume that “I” was one of those new-found supporters of Chelsea – a club with history, as it was founded in 1905. And as such, the new supporters are often ridiculed by die-hard fans for jumping on the Chelsea bandwagon.

What the old fans are saying is that these new supporters are not serious Chelsea fans. They support Chelsea only because Chelsea are winning. They’re just hopping on to the bandwagon to celebrate with the winners. Any winners – they would just as soon pass themselves off as Liverpool supporters if Liverpool were the winners. Or Manchester United or Arsenal fans, for that matter.

In other words, they’re just going along for a ride. They haven’t been to each and every Chelsea game at home and away, singing and crying themselves hoarse in cheering their team on come rain or shine.

In conclusion, these new supporters don’t deserve all the fun and joy they’re getting.

And that is perhaps the bitter part, the part that the new comer finds “annoying”.

Got it?

Alright, here are media examples of other people hopping on the bandwagon of one type or another:
