I can guarantee there will be at least 2 dozen who have bought season tickets at Mansfield purely because Nigel moved here as manager. There'll be another dozen or so who go to games semi regularly.
The same 2 dozen (at least) would have had season tickets at the other clubs he's managed.
It's not as rare as you make out. I could say with 99.9% certainty there will be friends and family of managers up and down the land who support clubs because of who is in charge.
What is rare is that one of them (2 with Bear) continuously post on forums despite the stick they take (and give). For example being called a Nigel bum licker isn't the nicest of things to have to read about yourself just for sharing your views on a forum.
