Was considering joining the RoI Supporters club. Would it be worth my while? Is anyone else on this site a member? There website isnt that informative so what are the benefits??

Judging by the chairman they had on Prime Time during the Saipan Saga, I wouldn't be impressed. He ended up making gestures of punching Dunphy :D which, much and all as I'd like to see it happen, it didn't make a great impression of the organisation.
Don't think he's the chairman of the ROI supporters Club. That geezer represents some mythical organisation with 10's of thousands of ROI fans:rolleyes:Quote:

Im in the Dublin ROISSC but I live in Manchester so very rarely travel with them. They are a sound bunch though and I often meet some of them for the games. Membership is fairly cheap so if nothing else it could be a few more contacts for tickets, pre match pint etc.....
EDIT: There are clubs in London & West Midlands (Birmingham) as well, not sure of the regional clubs in Ireland.
There are three main branches of the ROISSC that I am aware of -Quote:

I have also come across guys from other branches in Carlow and Luton, UK, but have no contact details for them.
There was big article in the Irish Independent Sports supplement a few months ago just before either the France or Switzerland home game about the club in London which seems to be well organised. They have a decent website which is worth a look.
That eejit is a guy called Alan Hunter, who claims to represent tens of thousands of fans who are members of the 'mythical' Irish Football Supporters Association. Hunter and his antics have been discussed on this forum at length previously.Quote:

As Superhoops pointed out Alan Hunter has nothing to do with the Official Supporters Club. He is a muppet who has for some daft reason been given the ability to talk.
he could be a comic genius....
shows how easy it is to get on the telly and how lazy researchers are...
