Supporter club outposts of note

[Ray de Galles]

Not so much fans as club twinning, and almost one for the WTF? Thread, but

From that link, what does "a fully minority-owned club" mean?

[Discordant Resonance]

Appears to literally mean that they are owned by an ethnic minority:

Ah, that connotation didn't occur to me! Thanks.

[Felicity, I guess so]

We have an IFK Gothenburg link/twinning fir obvious reasons but there was an emotional early season visit by our v small group of Argentine fans- they are great on Facebook, so I'd have loved to have met them.
The Swedes I've met a couple of times, usually being introduced to obscure scottish alcoholic behaviours (OVD rum, for example) in The Snug near the ground

Bath City have supporters from Lecco dating back to back to us playing them in the Anglo-Italian cup decades ago (or, rather, the anniversary recently of this match). It ended up with a supporters' game which I still kick myself that I missed. There is an explanation in this interview that explains it. The pictures of the after-match celebration are quite something.

I met the Lecco supporters on their initial trip over and we ended up discussing all sorts of things. I tried to explain Brexit to them but, even though their English was ten times better than my Italian, they didn't get it. In retrospect, it may not have been a language issue.

A seeming follow on from this is that we have had a group of Italians unconnected to the Lecco supporters who have formed an Italian fan club who have become members of our Supporters Society and want to raise the profile of Bath City in Italy. As someone who finds it difficult sometimes to raise the profile of Bath City in Bath, I admire their ambition.
