I've been in New York for just over a week and am amazed at the number of Chelsea and Manure shirts/shorts. Boo!!

It is so much better to be different

Er, don't let them get to you. a) you are not a glory hunter and b ) you follow a 'proper' football club.

Keep the faith.

I sat next to an American rovers fan at ewood last season at the Sunderland game. I didn't get any contact details though I'm afraid. He mentioned that he read LT though so you

you may be able to find him through the comments section. Good luck, there are def. more of you out there!

Bastion that was me you were sat next to in the Jack Walker lower closer to the Darwen End.you were there with you lady friend right? Anyhow to the OP yes there are some Rovers fans here in the States. I am the only one I have met or seen in the Tampa area in 15 years though.

[bastionRover]

Ah Florida Rover! How be you? Any plans to make it over to any games this coming season?

[Florida Rover]

Bastion no plans to come over bit will be following on radio rovers , the telly and Internet . Any trips up from Cornwall area for you?

[bastionRover]

Most definitely be making more trips this season. New job means I have weekends free so hoping to make some away games too. Let me know if you're thinking of coming over for any games. Would be good to meet up again and chat rovers!

Theres a few of us in NYC and I have the emails of a bunch of Rovers supporters across the US though mostly on the east coast, where in the states are are you Ectric?

Hey Florida Rover are you the one that started the Facebook group... it was either Florida Rovers or Tampa Rovers or something?

Actually it was Fort Myers not sure if that's anywhere near tampa.

But the staying up party definitely made up for the Loss to United get together. even if we did have to hear the world's most annoying female voice chant "Alex Fergison's Red and white army"

The chant that never ended. (For real, they were still yelling as we left.)
