Stuart G Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Heading over to Belfast Friday night for game Saturday, what sort of reception do we think we'll get with all the NI connections. Looking forward to see the new boys I wonder if some locals may join the jambos end ? I have been to Belfast a few times for football and just a weekend visit, very friendly city, I was at Windsor Park in 2003 and at Glentoran when we played Crusaders and Liverpool, had drinks before and after the 2 matches at Glentoran in the Harlow and Woolfe social club(The Welders) and we were made very welcome, I have also had a few beers in the Shankill Road but we were with people who were friendly with locals, it was very friendly as well, city centre was a great place, busy pubs and good people, as like all cities, show respect to the locals and you will get it back.

So Make Some Noise.. Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Not sure why we'd get any sort of reaction that another team wouldnt to be honest. Our NI based players may get one though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar PHM Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If its anything like last time, we'll be met at the airport by 120 of their ultras, followed into town by buses with blacked out windows, corralled into a dead end alleyway and had seven bells of shite knocked out of us before being tarred and feathered and strapped to lamposts Or they might be a nice bunch eager to engage with us in the bars, have a bit of craic and be jolly sporting chaps. Depends what mood theyre in really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct I was referring to the NI players and coach not any other connection.. Kyle lafferty and Hughes may attract some interest from the locals. Having frequented Belfast on various occasions I know the connotations of supporting the right team in the right area, that is not in doubt, purely speculation on the locals interest in a couple of high profile NI caps playing for us.

269miles Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I met a NI Jambo in Paris during the Euros last year. He was the only guy in his crew not wearing a NI shirt - he had a Hearts shirt on. He spotted my lad in his Hearts shirt and was buzzing to met other Jambos. From memory , he was a giant of a guy in his 20s who became a Jambo while at Uni in Edinburgh. So if you guys meet anyone fitting that profile say "hi" from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Would be good to know if there is a big meeting place pre-game, ala a European away trip.

portobellojambo1 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If it's the one with all the tiles then yes. I prefer Robinsons next door to it. Great city Belfast and friendly folk on the whole. I think Robinsons is a better bar as well BB, but the last time we were over they objected to football tops and colours, we had to nip out and buy a t-shirt each to wear.

Liked the place though. Found a pool hall about 5 mins walk from the crown. At first thought it was a bad error walking in the door but once the heard accent and were told I was a Jambo folks were outstanding. Left there 5 hrs later absolutely nuggets.

Only ever came across 3 guys from Coleraine that supported the famous. 2 from Larne a couple from Carickfergus and the rest from Belfast. Mind that's going back to the mid 80s.
