Fans Around the World

[Hawkwell Blue]

Not sure if this has been covered but over the weekend (Telegraph I think) I read a piece about Leeds and their game against Gillingham, who weren't mentioned much, and the attempt Leeds are making to find a fan in every country in the world. Naturally it got me thinking about Blues' fans over the world.

Well obviously England, Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Canada are covered.......so as Delia would say "Les be 'aving you!"

Apologies if this has been done before.

Think we have two in Japan. Samurai being one.
Others I can think of are USA, Malta and France.

I wondered why there were so many dykes here.

There's definitely an expat who's now living in France. Can't remember the username off the top of my head though.

I'm sure a while back someone was posting from Belgium too.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned everyones favourite Spanish Shrimper either..... Unc. Oh, and Mike is there too! :)

*edit - didn't read the first line of Glasgows post very well!

From my time in Belgium, I converted my Italian and Greek housemates - who now keep an eye out for our scores every weekend they inform me.

As for France, my missus and her family in Paris are now proud Blues fans...They actually showed our win over Man U live in France - and everyone on TV praised the **** out of us :)

Dept 36 is in france also

 

[Sean 2]

There is an exile in Turkey that comes on here.

my wife's got some Swedish relatives that I converted - they came and watched a game once when Southall was in goal - the dad was a semi-pro 'keeper in Sweden who idolised big Nev. We had photos taken with him and then Nev gave him a pair of his gloves - nice touch! (Crap 'keeper for us though!)

That's Sweden covered anyway as they've kept an eye open for us ever since

I remember years back now there was a site where you could stick a flag to where you lived.....
