Hi There

[Marcus]

Hi,

My name is Marcus and I'm a big, big fan of Olympiakos (although English).

I was just looking around on the net and found this site. Although I keep myself busy posting on other Olympiakos sites(greeksoccer,ultras7osfp,the old gate7.gr) I will stop by here as this place looks very good.

Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

it's really great to see that Olympiakos has foreign fans! It makes us really proud.

Although it's Easter time for us, and you may not see much activity on this forum, i encourage you to visit us and talk with us about our team. After Easter we'll be back in...business

Where are you living? There are several members of this forum, living in UK.

regards
TK

Hi Marcus.

As karteo said, you' re very welcome.

Btw, what's yr team at UK?

[Marcus]

As strange as it sounds. There is no-other team for me in the UK, I dedicate all my time to just Olympiakos. I know a few people in the Olympiakos Londonclub based in the UK so they may know me or know of me.

Hey I need to get an avatar, just a sec

Hi Marcus!

It's nice to have another UK-based member in our forum and especially an english national!. I live in the UK as well, in Bristol, though I am Greek.
Where do you live? In London?

[Marcus]

Hi iek,

I live in Brighouse which is near Leeds in Yorkshire. I do go to London regularly though for business so I do know some of the supporters there too.

How come you became a fan of Olympiacos??

[Marcus]

I became a fan in 98-99 aftertrying to learn greek. Olympiakos was the only site in both Greek and English at the time. I then grew to love the team.

I know some English guys that became olympiacos fans at a greek taverna-that´s what they said at least! They were on holidays in Greece and went somewhere to eat and the owner was Olympiacos fan. They started drinking on Olympiacos and at the end they didn´t pay anything, but became olympiacos funs. I´ve met them quite often in CL games. We seem to have loads of funs in UK, we might should go and play some games in the summer, not only USA..

Welcome Marcus mate!

It's wonderful having an Englishman supporting Olympiacos! .....Me and several other members live in London, so whenever you come for business we can arrange to meet!!!

All the best......and hope to enjoy your self in here!

[Marcus]

Hi Eric,
I know a couple of the members in London especially Takis from the Londonclub. I've watched a couple of matches in the Encrypt Cafe in Bayswater when I've been down.

Hi mate,

Hope we'll meet in London and watch the Cup Final all together!

[Marcus]

Just a little update. I am still around and just waiting for the official Gate7 site to come online (feels like it is taking ages).
Still I am happy to have met you all.

Hi Marcus - good to see you again. Well, any thoughts on the current affairs of Olympiakos?
Did you have the chance to watch some of this season's games?

Ηi mate!

Yes, I managed to get to the West Ham friendly back in August (and was shown on TV a lot!!), I then went to the Roma match in the Olympico and the Valencia match in November. I am coming across to Greece shortly (especially to see the Derby) and I have managed to grab a couple of tickets for the game (hopefully).

I am always writing about Olympiakos but only in English. I used to write on the Ultras7osfp site until it went down and I'm now writing a blog at the Greeksoccer site until it comes back up again. I tend to post on that site a lot since it is full of Greek-Australians and Greek-Americans who read and write in English.

Keeping ok anyway and hope you are too.

[pani0202]

Marcus your story is just amazing. What are the chances of an english guy to become an Olympiakos fun!

It's good to have you here.

[undertow]

huh? this part of the forum is actually alive?!

hey marcus, it's always great to meet olympiakos fans from outside greece

[Marcus]

Hello there again.
I know it feels sporadic but I do visit here from time to time.
I'm glad to be welcomed by the members of Olympiakos.
Does anyone know when the gate7 site (gate7fans) will be up and running again?

Hello my friend.
Even though there is no official information with respect to this issue, the rumor had it to get back online on the 8th of February 2007. Since then there was no other relevant information.
Furthermore, due to clash of our fans against fans of panathinaikos that resulted to the assasination of a panathinaikos fan, in which assasination officials of Gate 7 are accused of taking part and are facing criminal charges, I 'm not so optimistic on the issue.
