I was on Barmyflags getting a flag priced last night. I’ve always wanted an ‘Atletico San Patricio’ flag for Inchicore on Friday nights, it sounds a bit exotic for the League of Ireland and indeed the style of football played here!
Low and behold, Atletico San Patricio are a real club:
The other Saint Patrick's Athletic F.C
They play their football in Argentina. Like in Inchicore, they seem to have an ultras grouping behind them, notice the smoke and wavey’s:
Between our shared red and white kits, love of a good ultras performance and the whole matter of a name, maybe there’s a friendship there.
Their average gates seem to be in the low hundreds, I wonder if they’re aware of the Atletico San Patricio who have played from Berlin to Glasgow?
It’s nice to share a name with another football club, not least when they’re named after Saint Patrick despite geographical distance.

“Their average gates seem to be in the low hundreds”
The similarities are eerie!
“Their gates are attached to a sporting facility they actually own themselves”
Doubtful. And besides, the rabid obsession with property ownership is what’s caused this whole recession thing. Moral high ground, ho.
Ah yeah, you’re right. Sure Louis Kilcoyne saw it all coming, eh?
