A quick search came up with nothing but quite sure there is alright.

I follow the results of Sligo Rovers from here in the USA, and I ran into a couple of guys wearing Cork City shirts at a New York Red Bulls game two years ago.

Always good for the odd valid point though if you can be bothered reading all of the near page long posts.

I think he claimed to own a helicopter at one stage

And he has a friend, Sergio, from Rio.

Although I dont follow a team as such since I left the league as a player, but I follow the league from St Louis USA alongside my room mate who is a Shamrock Rovers shareholder who lives near 3 Bohs fans, 2 Drogs and a Bohs fan in Kentucky, Shels, Pats and Kilkenny City fans in Nebraska, a supporter of the league in Ontario, Canada, Shels and Pats fans in Memphis.

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.

I have been living here in Seattle USA here now for the last 18months, i proudly wear my WUFC blues Jersey all the time aorund the city and when Ireland are playing i wear my international Jersey.
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.

My two uncles are living in New York City and we have to post out new Cork City jerseys everytime one comes out.

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.

**brianw82** · 12/05/2009, 10:42 PM

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).

Sheffield United played Longford Town in a friendly a few years ago & after that we had a group of Sheffield United fans taking an interest in LTFC. I wonder would they come over to double attendances?
