Indeed.
Their slogan is "Putting the London back into Derry"
Quality flag based on the London Tube sign as well.
A lot like the locals.
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
All too true. There's always some excuse.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Cork City have an exiles supporters club, including members in foreign countries such as Dublin, England, Germany and the US
aside from that we have our link with Bologna and several Bologna fans travel to Cork every year, and a number of City fans reciprocate
There is a Cork City supporters club in Bologna and a Bologna S.C in Cork.
There is a Ramblers supporters club in Canada.........there's 2 in it!
I have met a few Waterford over here in Seattle in Washington State and they used to follow LOI footie so you never know there might be an exiles Blues supporters club here sometime.

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
Where dioes your London branch meet to watch games Redgav ?
Are they new, as I've never heard peep of them before ?
I'm part of the City Exiles Supporters Club. Not sure of our total membership but it must be about 70/80 going by way of the names on the email lists sent out. John Duddy is a member, and has been known to sport the exiles polo shirt in interviews as well as spreading the candystripe gospel with City flags in his corner and in the ring after fights. David Tennant (Dr Who) also signed up when he traced his grandfather back to being a former Derry player.
We've members in the US, Canada, Scotland, Isle of Man, Germany, England and the usual few nomads who have no home

Sure their team's never been the same since we took their manager and half their team in the late 80's.....The Shamrock Rovers Derry Supporters Club
Sligo Rovers used to have a London supporters club as well as a New York one. Remember talking to some of the London boys who used to travel over regular enough in the 90's.
Like practically every other League of Ireland club we have supporters based all over the world - but the 2 most organised are probably the group of portadown supporters that go to all our home and away matches (im sure you've all seen their 'Portadown Drogs' flag when playing us which the portadown lads got done up themselves!!)
We also have a group of lads from Birminghan (about 20 odd of them) who haved a flag and call themselves BUDS (brimingham University - cant rememebr what the rest stands for) who are a mixture of brirmingham, west brom, villa supporters - one of them went to a wedding in drogheda (his cousins!!) and got hooked after going to a match while over and got the rest of the lads back home in brmingham hooked and they go to at least 1 match a year (and sponsor the ball for that match.)
Also had 2 drogs based in london who are ST holders at fulham and used sposnor a fulham player for the season under 'Drogheda United Supporters Club'
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
"...Drogheda Supporters..?"
We co-opted a Drogs supporter over here into City's London club two years ago.
He came up to Gretna with us for the craic - and ended up joining us for Paris and the 2006 Cup Final as well.
He's seen more of City recently than he has the Drogs....
