Komazawa Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm living in Tokyo now. Moved out here in August 2014....just in time to miss our first championship winning season in decades! Last season was my first season in 25+ years where I didn't get to any games live. This season I saw the opening day win, and will be back over Easter for the QPR and Blackburn games. I've never seen any fellow reds out and about in Tokyo but I live in hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 As the name suggests, I'm in Sydney. I saw a guy in an old Puma City top at the beach about a month ago. I went up to chat, expecting to hear a Brizzle accent, but he was as Australian as they come. Only managed to have a few words before he was dragged off by his kids. About five minutes later, I realised it was Nicky Carle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a standing invite from a fb acquaintance (that I had never met in person until that time) to be taken to a game if I ever travelled over. So, I took him up on it. His only caveat was that he would take me to see the team he supported. The only game I was able to see was the JPT game against Wycombe. And, that's all it took to be hooked. I went home, got a Player subscription so I could listen every weekend. So, thank you @CityFarAndWidefor introducing me to the life of a City fan. I've been back 2 times since, February of 2015 (went to MK, saw Port Vale and Sheff Utd at home), and January of 2016 (Leeds away, Brum at home, and Charlton away). I've already booked my flight to return in August this year to see the first 2 games of the season. That boy has a lot to answer for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 3 juli 1970 I saw Holstein Kiel-Bristol City 0-2. Garland scored both. City was in Germany preseason and I was there with my parents, holidays. A couple of years ago we where 4 scandinavians visiting Gerry Gow. We meet him and his son. They where nice lads. Gerry told us that Holstein Kiel game was his first in the City shirt. About 45 years later we met again. He said he liked the time in City. He then played for Man City 82-86 also a great Club he said. Life takes its own wayes. That journey to Germany with my parents made me a City supporter. Since then City is my team. Coyr!!!

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Am I the only one in Eastern Europe? Was brought up in Totterdown (Oxford Street), have lived in Montpelier, Bishopston, Brislington, Yate, West Wales, Cardiff, Torrevieja Spain and now Tallinn, Estonia. Got around a bit, but settled now at the age of 71, anyone coming here to see the Old Town, World Heritage site, the best place for Cod and Chips is Clayhills Gastro Pub, they also have Weston's Vintage Cider 8.2% and you can get Thatchers in the CityAlco shops. Was planning to come over for a game this season, but it will be next now, as I want to see the boys and of course the renovated AG. I just hope it's not a League 1 game!

Garland-sweden Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Think its fantastic, we have supporters all over the world. We are not famous, we are not a big Club, we dont win anythig but we are Bristol City FC. Remember when we where in leauge on and GJ said every supporter have to pray or whatever. We should play Rotherham. A City supporter was in a temple in Japan and showed the light. GJ showed it in the dressingroom and we won 3-1 I think. Divy also have something to do with it. Photo before the game, Divy in the middle, Waggy and Baldock along him. Baldock and Waggy our scored, we won, rest is history. Since Divy was in the dressingroom everything went well. Think a think that we can have in mind. Think we will make it this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard the carf in my local pub was given by an ex gas player, a Darren Tilley who is now resident in Cambridge, Ontario. Why an ex-Gas wanted to give a City scarf, I don't know. Im_over_ere, how long have you lived in London, Ont? how long in Canada? I'm origially from Filton, Bristol and came over in August, 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very underrated country around there. I did a fair bit of work for South Northants Council which covers Brackley & Towcester.

Northampton itself isn't too bad-quite a big town so a mixture of not great areas but very nice areas too. Lots of great pubs which is always a plus. It's also a prime location, being within an hour away from London, Oxford and Cambridge is handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Been in Sydney, Australia for 19 years so can't beat Wellington but did live in Christchurch NZ for a bit. Originally a Bemmy Down boy that moved to Chew Valley. First remembered game was City v Hull in 73 when Cashley scored. Regular from 76 onwards until 93 then travelled the globe before coming back for a City stint in 95 until 98. City tragic through and through and everyone that knows me in Australia knows it! I've certainly helped put us on the map down under. I was at a Specials gig the other night and a Gashead recognised me for giving him shit about 10 years ago! Off to Socceroos v UAE tomorrow night so hoping Bailey Wright is still in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
