There are people who are supporting teams even in the third division of leagues, some of these people have been following this clubs for years. Those are true fans.
Personally, I support the team no matter what happens with the game, but if you are in active with the game drafts already give you an idea of which teams will be playing more excessively and has potential because most of the time they are doing experimental to their games if their new rooster will make a good plays or having an adjustment with the actual match.
