I like Spalding, stayed near there for six months while I was working Peterborough way. I always thought they don`t make the most of the river though - it seemed hidden away behind the backs of loads of buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 We need to do a list of every country in the world where we have supporters even if it`s just one or two. I reckon we`ve got most counties in the UK covered as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I'm based in the vast wilderness of Stockwood, near the fabled lands of the Coots, but who's the furthest from the Gate? Is it our man Havana? Do we have any fans on here based in New Zealand? Anyone in Hawaii? If you are on the other side of the globe, do you ever mention supporting City in random conversation? I used to live in New Zealand in the late 80's. I was at work one day when my companies MD was giving another companies MD a tour of our warehouse. As I was introduced to him I was stunned to see he was 'only' wearing a BCFC tie . I ended up having a 10 minute chat with him about all things City, not sure if my MD who was a down to earth Kiwi, really understood what was going on!!. I played football alongside another City fan in Auckland on the weekends as well. We do get around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited England (from Alaska, USA) in October of 2013, knowing nothing of footy or City. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New2City Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 That's OK My dad was military; I was born in Wisconsin, and we moved to AK when I was 9. We transferred out when I was 14 to move to the east coast, then back again when I was 17, and I've been there ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I must admit I`m always intrigued as to what has resulted in our fellow fans fetching up in these far flung locations. Some posters do give little hints which gets the imagination going but you never know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
