A few Rovers lads a few years back threw all the lowly english teams into a hat and pulled out northampton. They go over once a year for a session more than anything but they dont take it too seriously as they are not from there.

Shame the season ticket holder at norwich wont support his local club eh trotter??

Well let's blow you out of the water... I've attended Waterford United matches since I was born with my mother and father going to all games and my dad playing for them. So I think you can eat your words and shove it. In FACT I'm a steward there too so thanks for the comment but you're way wrong

Knew that would get you going:D See you at the firendly on the 18th of feb in the RSC then!

My second club in England has been Ipswich since I watched them beat Arsenal in the '78 cup final. Even though there were six Irish players and an Irish manager on the Arsenal side that day, I still went with the little team that could (and did!)

However, supporting Ipswich will mean that kensutz will forcibly eject you from the RSC on trumped-up charges every week, so consider Bury. Why? Well, they've got the shortest name in the football league. No argument with that.

kensutz · 03-01-2006 7:31pm

Ooooh I hate Ipswich with a vengance. If you ask anyone I know what I think of that lot they will tell you. Trotter if you see my car in the RSC you will know that it's a Norwich supporters car, just by the anti ipswich stickers. Littleman - TOP OF THE LEAGUE at Portaloo Road. You lot will never live that down. Roll on the derby in 4 weeks.

Only joking

Who wants to go to Bloomfield Road and Edgeley park when you can go stand on the Kop(theres more than one you know) and admire the worlds greatest football team in its ascendensy(a very slow one at that).

You want history, Sheffield has the oldest football club in the world (Sheffield FC)....something Chelsea can never buy!!

We have loads of airports within 50 miles leeds/manc/Doncaster.

nothing wrong with edgeley park,great little stadium,and the best pies in the north west:D

Well if Stockport is too high up the league for you. You could always join FC United in the Moore and Co Construction Solicitors League.

Right.. Im gonna narrow this down.

Having had further discussions with my mate, I've decided that the following criteria now applies.

The club which we will call home needs to be:

Less than 1 hr from an airport with a direct flight from Dublin.
A stadium of less than 15000 (flexible).

I await your continued, and most excellent, advice and suggestions.

Has to be Brentford.

About 8 stops from Heathrow on the tube, 15 minute walk from South Ealing station.

Capacity c.12500.

3rd in League 1.

Are you a brentford supporter though? I need to be convinced by someone who wants us at their club. Norwich was good but they're too big.

Go for Stockport County - very close to Manchester Airport and currently managed by a guy I went to school with.

This is the terrible manager Gannon is : From Gerry McDermott's article in this week's Argus.

During Gannon's rein an eagle-eyed Dundalk employee noticed that the first team were losing a lot of footballs at training as the bill for new balls was mounting. Curious, he went along to a training session in Hiney Park and saw several balls kicked into the undergrowth. When asked afterwards why the players responsible weren't sent to search for the balls Gannon replied: "That's not the professional thing to do"

kensutz · 04-01-2006 7:24pm

Colchester or Southend then

Badly Drunk Boy · 04-01-2006 10:10pm

How about Wycombe Wanderers? I was in Wycombe recently for a wedding and it's fairly handy to get to (about 30 minutes from Heathrow, possibly less.) The ground has a capacity of 10,000 and they're currently at the top of League Two. Just the other day they lost 4-5 to Macclesfield, so their matches can be entertaining. I'm not a supporter meself but always keep an eye on them because a friend of mine lives around the corner from the ground.

I'm a Wolves man meself, but they probably don't fit your criteria because their ground holds nearly 30,000. However, they do have Irish connections. Mark Kennedy is the only Irish player there at the moment, but in the past 10 years there have been loads of others, like Dinny Irwin, Robbie Keane, Dominic Foley, Glen Crowe, David Connolly and Paul Butler, and others before that. To get there, you just have to fly into Birmingham and hop on a train to Wolverhampton. And they've got the best club emblem...:D
