hippy273 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Got back from Australia on Thursday morning after a 3 month tour up the west coast, and worked on a 2 week school soccer camp in Perth with some under 9's (with a scouser and a cockney ) The best ending coming home was last Monday when an expat Bristolian walking down the street with this last seasons shirt on. I crossed the street & said "Don't see many city shirts in these parts", turns out he had been living in Sydney for 14 years. Never did i expect such a thing thousands of miles away from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Amazing to realize there are City fans all over the world. Had drinks with North London Red in downtown Chicago a couple of weeks ago, before his departure to the World Cup! Bless him. Fingers crossed we can do something on Thursday and against Costa Rica!

Philip Belgrave Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Surely that accolade belongs to Melbourne Victory. Nearly right. It should go to the newly renamed Melbourne CITY (formerly the "Melbourne Heart") AND Melbourne City play in red-and-white ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I lived and worked in NZ 20+ years ago. One day our manager was giving a manager of a different company a tour around our site. He came up to introduce him to me, he was only wearing a Bristol City tie with the Robin on it!! We then proceeded to have a 20 minute chat about all things City,not sure if my Kiwi boss was that impressed though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyCity Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Will check them out in October, I see they play in Paramatta just round the corner for me. Cheers Good to hear! Get tickets for the Red and Black Block if you want to sit with the noisy boys, Red if you want a decent seat, White if you're taking the family, or Black if you don't mind getting wet if it rains. I'm a season ticket holder there (one of about 16,500) and have worn a City shirt on a few occasions. Anything red, white and black goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrisbaneCityred Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Go the Roar Have bumped into a number of City fans over here. At the airport, Big Day Out Festival, Massive Attack Concert, my paving/concrete layer, and at football in Sydney once. Maybe a couple of other occasions so are a fair number out here.
