Note
A regular plural, made with -s, that carries every meaning of the singular at once: backers of a cause or party, fans of a team, attendants in a procession, props beneath a building or sculpture, and the figures holding up a shield in a coat of arms. Context alone decides which is meant. In the possessive, the apostrophe follows the s: the supporters' demands.
