    Why have people started referring to Dundalk as De Town. I thought it was just a football thing at first but it seems that other people do it aswell. Where the hell did this come from? The football club is Dundalk FC, fair enough for somewhere like Longford Town but where does the town reference come from?

    Dundalk has always been known as "de town" in and out of football

    I'm closing this thread , some people need to think before posting utter rubbish , and there is a few trolls here and people taking the bait.

    Dundalk Town , the answer is all in the same. The town , cut short in slag to da town.

    Before you say you are the mudja , Can you look it up and see what it means maybe then you will actually spell it right and say it correct when your in "de shed" , just for reference its mujahideen.
