Creo que aficionado es la palabra más común para esto.
to be a fan of something = ser aficionado a algo También a veces se oye "fan" y "fans". Nota también cómo se escribe "admiradores".

"Grandes seguidores/admiradores/fans". "Gran" is only used when there is a singular noun. With "fanáticos", the word is already a superlative, so adding "gran/grandes" sounds pleonastic.
"Hincha" is a word that is being used more often in the Mexican media, but many people Side note: All your examples are masculine, so it pops out that you wrote "aficionadas".

I am very late in posting this (as well as embarrassed by my own pedantry!) but it's "Many people are more comfortable".
Your command of English is so good that I am surprised by your tiny lapse, but as it is a language learning thread I'm sure you'll forgive me!

I make this mistake too often. It's so frustrating!
Thank you, for pointing it out and thank you very much for your kind comment. I'll try to stay more attentive, but I reckon, as we say here, old parrot can't learn to talk.

I, on the other hand always have trouble treating 'gente' as a singular noun - would someone be kind enough to offer some examples of the use of it as a singular noun?

Sure.
Here are some examples: - La gente está muy loca. People are crazy. - Vámonos. Aquí hay mucha gente. Let's go away. There are too many people here. - A la gente no le gusta que le digan que es grosera. People don't like being told that they're rude. - No me gusta viajar con la gente de la empresa. I don't like travelling with the people of the company. - Esa gente es muy simpática. Those people are really nice. - No hables con esa gente. Don't talk to those people. - Esas personas son gente mala. Those persons are bad people.
