Football Supporters Clubs

Rozbeef

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone knew of a Chelsea Supporters Club in Sligo? I know there's a Man Utd and Arsenal one, presume Liverpool must have one too...

But as far as I know, and can see, there aren't too many Chelsea fans in Sligo

I'm a member of the Official Supporters Club and try and get over a few times a year for matches...

Anyone here aware of a Sligo branch? Or maybe interested in getting one set up?

Avram Grant

Yip. They meet once a month in the phone box in O'Connell Street





Sorry, couldnt resist that

There used to be a Chelsea supporters club at one stage. West Ham and Spurs both have supporters clubs in the town.

I was of course expecting the comical replies in terms of popularity chelsea are probably the equivalent of adolf hitler :cool:

Which phone box muffler?

And this is genius



Mr Grant after Drogba's second goal against Arsenal!

No joke, I think the Charlton Athletic one for Ireland is based in Sligo Town

I would say the biggest SC is rightly so the Sligo Rovers Supporters Trust (of which I am a proud member) second then would be the Man Utd and Celtic ones I'd say.

Arenal have quite a big one also.

Think there used to be a Leeds SC in the Stables

I think Mousey Farrell ran that one - I think there is a hardcore of Leeds supporter in town but they all seem to be the same age - approx 39-44

Speaking of supporters clubs, I'd be fairly confident that there's a Sunderland one in town, what with the whole Irish connection and all.

That's a unique club to have in these here parts! The only supporter's club I'm a member of currently is the Montreal Canadiens (NHL) one.........I'm the only member.

I am a Chelsea fan and not one of the latest recruits either. There are plenty of Chelsea fans around Sligo but they aren't as loud-mouthy as the Man U or Lverpool fans. These same Man U and Liverpool shower would like you to believe that Chelsea are an anti Irish club and in some way affiliated with Glasgow Rangers (which of course is a load of rubbish) If anything, that should apply to Liverpool. Their famous KOP means 'King Over Pope' as it were Everton who were the more Catholic/Irish club in that city,
As for Man U... They are very scarce in their own city as Manchester is a Man City stronghold with few United supporters.
So Roll on the Premiership and Champions League for Chelsea next month.
Todays result Middlesbrough v Man U (2-2) will now open the door for the blues to win their third premiership in 4 years.
It's no wonder you get all the smart quips about Chelsea, phone boxes etc....Jealousy.

They're all British clubs to me , that thing about the Kop is incorrect as is the remark about there being few Manchester United supporters in Manchester , presumably you are including Salford in that.

I doubt if they would even allow that post in the soccer forum. The thread has been running fine with a bit light hearted banter so please keep it that way.

never heard that before tbh, and have supported liverpool for almost 20 years, so it must be a load of rubbish

anywhy, back to the topic of conversation, does anyone know if/where there is a liverpool supporters club in sligo, preferbly in the town

CountingCrows

Feehilys seem to get a good crowd of Liverpool fans for matches

theres a few pubs i know that would get plenty of fans, but its where the actual supporters club meets up, to discuss/arrange travel to matches, etc.

Rozbeef

yeah that's what i'd be more interested in. actually being able to meet up and organize trips to stamford bridge etc.

i think the united fan club is in the belfry. arsenal is conollys if i remember correctly. not sure about liverpool though

if any chelsea fans do happen to be interested, drop me a pm or something.

jabby if you could keep your opinion to yourself that'd be great too. this thread isn't the place for that kind of comments. ta.

and there is a long history between chelsea and rangers fans by the way, not so much recently. but the 70's/80's were.

Jabby's post could well be the most inaccurate posts I've ever read.

And another off topic post.

As has been said different times in the past if you are not happy then take it to either PM or start a thread in feedback if you wish.

Rozbeef

stay on topic

so i'm guessing the answer to my original question is no then?

Cant say that Ive even heard of one in Donegal either. Try googling it or maybe even email the club and ask for details of the official supporters clubs in Ireland

Cue; achingly painful silence interrupted only by the sound of leaves rustling in the wind.
