Located where we are, it's not too surprising that we have fans from Co. Monaghan* (I know a couple from Carrickmacross and Inniskeen) and from Co. Armagh (I know one from Crossmaglen).
I also know of two Dundalk fans from Dublin and Limerick who support the club due to their fathers being fans from Dundalk.
* Magicme would probably regard them as traitors. ;)
Manchester but in a week or two it will be San Francisco
Have Derry got many fans from Co. Donegal?
Derry have fans from the UK.....
There's a page on Facebook dedicated to Danish Rovers fans :D
There are fans on the Cork City forum from Tamworth and York in England who support City as their irish team after their local clubs. Also there are people from Bulgaria,Germany and the USA on our fourm who support City.
A regular poster on here is a very insightful and intelligent Limerick fan who used to live in Japan for years.
Jebus obviously....
We had a fella from Germany posting on the Kildare county forum on the club website a while back but he hasn't been around for a while now...
on our forum ronnieb is from near castlerea which is near the roscommon /mayo border. Pauro 7 my brother is in the london ltfc supporters club.
my cousins are all big harps fans, all born and live in munich. another one lives in utrecht(sp?) and her kid also follows the dynasty, much better than me, in fact i just gloryhunt nowdays and go to bohs games.
I also forgot about Siempre blanco in the U.K. Some sligo fans may also know this name. Posts go mostly along the line of sh*t league Sh*t team, pub standard football, business going great and winning loads in the bookies, the great weather when in Spain and the odd go at a couple of managers in LOI, abroad and on the international scene. Always good for the odd valid point though if you can be bothered reading all of the near page long posts.
We have fans in Scotland, Isle of Man, England, USA amongst others...
Siempre is brilliant, we should get him back here. I think he might actually be a computer programme of some kind.
He livens the Kildare county forum up anyway. Hasn't posted on the club forum since the powers above decided to reset the whole thing.
He's not the brightest when it comes to stuff like that. He stormed off foot.ie because dahamsta appended an editorial comment to one of his posts and he thought his account had been hacked. :D
:D I didn't know that must have happened before I joined. I think he was thrown off the sligo rovers forum as well. Wouldn't imagine he lasted too long here, always assumed he was banned.
I believe there is a Cork City Supporters' Club in Boston and possibly New York as well.
I support Harps and am based in County Down.
Not too sure,but i think that the American City supporters have a website aswell.Quote:

Perhaps the most random is my dad's friend whose entire family are Sligo Rovers obsessed and live in Dublin having no connections to Sligo whatsoever.
He posts an siempre blanco on the kildare forum now:rolleyes:Quote:

I have been asked a few times about my jersey and i tell them where i used to live. Now i have my Seattle Sounders FC jersey to wear on Match days here, am spoilt for choice here.
But the Blues is my club and always will be :).
Sligo Rovers all the way!!!
Given our great tradition of emmigration it's hardly unusual for Irish football supporters to move abroad and take their loyalties with them. Foreign born fans of LOI are a more curious thing....
For the record, I'm a Galway United supporter based in Paris. God bless broadband, the web, P2P sites and very high speed connections..it makes life much simplier for us.
Yup, Irish Man U, Liverpool and Celtic fans abound worldwide.Quote:

As the name suggests I followed Galway United from Vietnam for a good few years. Took a trip back there recently and my Galway United scarf is still up on the wall of the pub i used to drink in!
Things have moved on a bit since then, with youtube videos, MNS and and decent websites it is probably much easier to follow LOI from abroad these days.
I have a mate from Sligo in Prague who keeps an eye on the Rovers. Was over with him this past weekend, and the first thing we did on coming back from the pub on Saturday night was check the scores. Neither of us were particularly happy with a 3-0 defeat, but there you go.
Shels forever even after 30 years in Clare!
You've got one in Australia too. I live in Melbourne and have just received this season's new WUFC jersey, Daughter is a big fan too - she's got alot of the merchandise sent over from family. We've been mistaken for Chelsea fans when we go to the A-league games however ! (vey common to wear "foreign" team jerseys at matches - identifies the greeks from the italians from the poms so to speak).Quote:
