Saudibear 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Your list is far from complete. There are 4 clubs in Florida alone Ft Lauderdale, Naples Loyal, Tampa Bay and my own club, Orlando with at least 5 in California, also not on your list, Dallas, Cleveland, Chicago, North Carolina, Washington, New Jersey, Philly, Vegas off the top of my head are all affiliated to NARSA. New Orleans is 1 that I know of that is not affiliated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Blue 12 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The list from the NARSA page only shows a small number of their member clubs and in particular those with websites. While the beggars probably still have more in numbers there isn't a great deal between the 2 sets. As for clubs in Maryland, Andy, there aren't any that I am aware of. I know that a few boys looked at setting something up, but numbers weren't great and it would have bee too expensive, so they still travel through to Summers in VA for the games. Any questions then PM me. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any questions then PM me. Cheers The NARSA page does show all clubs if u click on the tab for the clubs, I believe there was a separate one that was only the clubs that have websites. There are many and new ones forming all the time, Seattle has just joined the organization and I know there are other areas trying to get enuff folk together to form a club. Part of the trouble is that they need enough members that will regularly turn out to watch the games to pay for the feed from Setanta. Besides, we believe more in quality than quantity lol.

ianculbertson 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 also, maybe it's because i'm born and raised here in the states and never in an area where a support club was avaiable. but, while i think that it would be cool to have a rangers club to go to now and then, i probably wouldn't go out of my way to do so. i'm perfectly content to go to a bar with my friends on matchday. no matter who they cheer. and just catch every game that i can. i usually have one or two on my side anyway, especially when they're playing celtic.
