Though set in the heart of the Protestant Shankill Road, the club has members from both sides of the cultural divide. Flags of the home nations are displayed on the outside of the building. Belfast has almost as many Welsh flags as Caernarfon. The uniformed gentlemen outside the club are members of an Orange Marching Band enjoying a break after a parade. http://shankillwelcomesyou.co.uk/northern-ireland-supporters-club/ Image
