July 20, 2011

Bermudians on Facebook are starting to declare their interest in advance of next week’s Cup Match holiday, with blue/blue and red/blue badges popping up on profile photos all over the social network.

As of this writing, St. Georges is leading the way with 447 supporters, while Somerset has 376 supporters. Comments are also being left in support of either the east or the west, although not all comments are what would term as supportive. One local has already declared the Somerset colours to be ‘mug’, while another poster has expressed horror at all the “hideous” posts in support of St George’s.

Update July 21: The numbers have increased, with at last 400 more people adding buttons to their profiles, however the east still maintains the lead with 674, compared to the west’s 602.
