They have won 7 PrO'12 matches since 2012/13
They ought to be in trouble.

That's quite a record.
Why do their fans go to games? Do they give them free crack of something?

They got 1,850 through the turnstiles of their last home game.
They're not even the bottom team at the moment. Their Italian brothers Treviso have that honour. Treviso have won 20 pro 12 matches over the same peirod, with 50% of those wins coming in the 2012/13 season.

Loyalty? Some of us have the misfortune to support teams which just aren't any good.

Italian national team looks in serious trouble as well based on those 6N performances.

Although it focuses on Treviso, I think it applies to both teams - got to agree with everything there. There is absolutely no point to the 'rugby' both of the Italian teams play, it's aimless and shows no sign of improving year on year.
They just represent a free 5 points to everyone in the league so I'm hoping they'll be booted from the pro 12 soon as this just isn't benefiting anyone at the moment.

"Treviso have won twice in the Pro12 this season with Zebre having four wins - the same number as third-from-bottom Welsh team Newport Gwent Dragons in the 12-team competition."
Get rid of them, then the Dragons?

Dragons aren't quite the same. At least the dragons peak and trough to a degree as their promising youngsters are pillaged by the other 3 regions or English/French clubs.
They are a poor team though, you're right.
