MANY people have moved away from Watford and Hertfordshire over the years, but that doesn't stop a large number of far flung Watford fans from following the Hornets.
Below are the contact details and information for Watford's Supporters Groups. If you are involved in organising a supporters group please contact themediateam@watfordfc.com so we can add your details. The club or group doesn't have to be official, and if you meet up and/or travel to games with fellow 'Orns in your area - perhaps you would like to add some new recruits?
East Midlands Hornets
Gathering supporters from all over the East Midlands region from Coventry to Chesterfield, and anywhere in between, East and West. Meeting up approximately every six weeks during the season at a pub/restaurant near junction 24 of the M1 for a meal, drink, chat about all things WFC past and present as well as a light-hearted quiz which inevitably leads to interesting debates about the sources of data and the referee’s final decision!
We have members of all ages with a variety of experiences of following the Hornets home and away. If you're exiled in the East Midlands they would love to hear from you by emailing eastmidlandshornets@ntlworld.com or check out the East Midlands Hornets Facebook page.
