Guys I am wondering if you have any 'friends' abroad and in England as well...I mean if your organization of fans is connected with for example organization of fans from other clubs...
I guess you hate 'Bristol City' fans , but which fans of team are friendly with you ?

i've always thought that 'the moonrakers' is an underused nickname for us, although haven't they got the idea behind it wrong on that survey? i thought it was to do with smuggling.
we're very friendly with gillingham.

it was smuggling, as the story goes the locals hid their contraband in a lake and when the fuzz turned up, acted dumb and said they were "moonraking."

What's with the Wycombe/Colchester rivalry? They're miles apart - Ipswich and Southend are much closer to Colchester...obviously bored this afternoon

I think it's a legacy of their late 80s early 90s conference days. I always understood that for a time Wycombe saw us as a big rival too, somewhat strangely.

Also moonrakers refers to the locals of Devizes not swindon. Funny how they decided to call us something only related to us by county, although i suppose we are the only club in the county...  |

The fan friendship thing doesn't really happen in England but is a lot more common in some other European countries. Sometimes you'll even see football scarves showing the colours of 2 different clubs...all seems a little alien here. (One example I can think of is the tie up between St Pauli and Celtic.)

If we were to have a natural empathy with another club (which we haven't) it would have to be Spurs. We've had shedloads of Tottenham players and managers....some legendary Spurs names ....Allen Mackay Ardiles Hoddle *cough*Gorman.....then players like Moncur, Hazard, Ray Clarke, *cough* Jamie Slabber.....even :king: was on the books there for a while.
Whereas from the Arse.....Jo Kuffour and that's about it.
