[Dithering Dougie]

i met these dutch lads from a place called alphen (i think) at the southampton game. they had met some saints fans at an england/Holland friendly years ago in Amsterdam. They became mates - one of them married a girl in Southampton and they all come over 2/3 times a year to watch Southampton. they had a 'dutch saints' flag and all sorts.

Me and my mate are thinking of making a Dutch Everton flag ourselves. Will probably carry that with me when I come over next August.

Can I come?

Well, o k then.

The Hingen boys? surely there's a good song to go with that name.

I'm from Limburg myself, about 25 miles away from Echt and already converted quite a few of my mates to Evertonians.

Echt?




..Bad Dutch joke, if you see what I did there. I'll just get my clogs and leave..

My mate is Dutch and he's got a season ticket in the lower gwladys.il tell him about this

I'm bringing a party of 24 Dutchmen to Goodison on Saturday after we play them in a veterans football match on Friday night. We'll be in the Upper Bullens so don't be afraid to give these fellas a friendly welcome if you come across them. They are from Echt, in Limburg and the team is FC Hingen.
I brought their manager, a very good mate of mine, to GP a bout 10 years ago - he fell in love with the place, the Club and the people , came back many times and now has a season ticket despite not getting over as much as he'd like....hopefully a few of the party will be similarly 'touched' and become distant Blues.

The Club have been brilliant in helping me get so many tickets next to each other....it's one of those things that makes Everton special. Here's hoping we thrash Cardiff and make the Hingen boys really remember losing their Everton Virginity.

Lets know where your going for a pint,i worked in Echt in the eighties,great little place.

Can I come?

Course you can mate -we'll collect you in half an hour

 

[evertony]

If you convert them all to Toffees mate, could that possible be the beginning of an Everton supportersclub in Limburg? I'm from Limburg myself, about 25 miles away from Echt and already converted quite a few of my mates to Evertonians.

Either way, well in mate.

I'm sure we can....my mate is from Echt as are about 90% of their team....I'll get on the case....I'm feeling there's going to be a good opportunity for a Limburg Blues Club.....they have their own bar in Echt called Cafe t'Hingen...you'll always be made very welcome there. We brought over 30 1L bottles of Schrobellier for the weekend, and after last night after match festivities we are down to 14....very, very messy.
Ten pin bowling comp in an hr!

Unfortunately it's ale on the coach as we have a really tight schedule between Manchester and Liverpool....getting around 30 pints at the bar on match day is a nightmare.....and I daren't give them Chang
