I've met a number of English accented Ulster supporters over in England - being born in the province and moving away at an early age is quite common and it is great they retain their allegiance.

Banned in Germany (amn may other countries) but not in the UK. I'm not even sure if incitement to racial hatred legislation actually applies in Norn Iron.

Where can you buy the red, white and red chequered flags? (That's the only reason I found this thread btw, if you search 'Ulster rugby red, white and red chequered flag' this is the first google search entry).

It would be easy to get hold of a red and white flag somewhere. Derry and Tyrone seem to have plenty.

Macca never worry about going to the match. Theres nothing to be worried about. No one will know what you are nor care. Ive going about 3yrs and havent had to tell anyone yet :-) People are friendly. You can chat to others if you want.

Ignore your mum Load of rubbish. Im the same background as yourself.

None checked up theres the provincial flag and half red and white here.

The Flag Shop (see previous post) also does chequered flags - they are under other flags - chequered.

Heard a rumour that you don't even need a grammar school education to attend an Ulster game these days. May just be a rumour though ...
