WayOutWest Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I live in Victoria, British Columbia. It's a city on an island roughly the size of England. Vancouver, Seattle all very accessible. Direct ferries 2 hours. It's a government and tourism town. Really nice part of the world. Weather like south of France. No snow usually with exception of this winter. Not very Canadian at all. I am the only City fan as far as I know. Lots of expats here though. We can seriously pack a pub with 250 odd for big games. I miss the football terribly. It can feel isolated at times but the Internet, VPN's and Steve Lansdowns login for the Football League network really helps!! Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Seems quite a few of us on here are Sydney based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCT10 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 There are at least 5 City fans here in the Cayman Islands... which isn't bad out of about 50,000 people of which about 8,000 are English expatriates.

Atlanta_Red Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Previously living just off Winterstoke Road, now residing in a city north west of Atlanta since 1999. I certainly miss the live stuff so am really grateful to be able to watch the new Atlanta United MLS team. 30,000+ season tickets sold and have so far have played to sold out crowds. But you can't beat the 'real' stuff though so am hoping to see City against Barnsley next month while on a short visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I always wore my city shirt on my travels. Gave my last one away to a lad in Garmsir Helmand. So we have at least one fan in Afghanistan.

Nothing overly intriguing with me, I'm afraid: born Stockwood > Keynsham when 4 > Manchester for university > London for work > Grand Cayman for work back in the 1990s. Picked up a half-season season ticket in the play-off season for me and my niece, figuring if we went up, my chances of easily getting tickets, particularly away games, would be slim, and have held onto them since. Only get to a few games each year, but it is generally used in my absence. My niece and now my sister are both hooked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
