Continuing with our focus on the different supporters clubs, this time we speak to Marc who is involved with the Netherlands Supporters Club.

——————————————————————————————————-

Merry Christmas one and all, and greetings from the Blues Supporters’ Club in The Netherlands. The Club kicked off seven or eight years ago, and is based in The Hague. Several of us Bluenoses live here, mostly working for international courts and the like. We also have some members who live elsewhere in The Netherlands, but still come to The Hague to watch games together. I’ve been here for ten years, which is probably about par for the club.

We meet at The Shillelaigh Irish pub at Javastraat 94. The landlord keeps a very nice pint, and it’s a good friendly place. As we’re been going there for several years, the Blues game is almost always on live, regardless of which other Premiership games are being shown. Last Tuesday, for example, Blues-Blackburn was on the big screen, while Man U against Wolves was relegated to a small tv above the far end of the bar – despite the fact that the landlord is a Man U fan.

We arrange trips to see Blues in England a couple of times a year, usually to away games. This year we went to Wigan – what a good time that was! – and we’re looking at going to the game at Sunderland in March. People also go over to Brum fairly regularly; one of our members is a season ticket holder.

Needless to say, any Bluenoses who find themselves in or around The Hague on match days are more than welcome to join us!
