“Just saw the Graun has an article about some English non-league team having a Norwegian supporters’ club,” tweets Alba Punk. “What’s the smallest British or Irish team with a foreign supporters’ club?”

“I thought I’d mention Fisher FC’s Norwegian supporters’ club,” writes Kevin Harris of the south-east London side. “I haven’t been to see the Fish for a couple of years now as I don’t live in the area but the Norwegians did turn up on multiple occasions to visit the SCEFL Premier League club – Step 5 in the non-league system. Looking at this season’s stats, Fisher are averaging crowds of around 150. Norwegians seem to go to extreme lengths to escape those long, dark winters.”
