    Thanks. I'm ok, I'll see them all in a few weeks - I am in the UK fro nearly two months so should be able to catch up with everyone.

    My experience of moving to a new place (or back to an old one in your case) is that in those first 6 months or so you just say "yes" to everyone and every opportunity that comes your way. You might have the odd awful dinner, or bad date, or rubbish away day - but you'll make many more friends than you would sitting in your flat saying "no". Therefore, my advice - and feel free to ignore it - is to go. Go with an open mind and, if you're comfortable with it, then feel free to approach/talk to fellow City fans at the game, especially once you're in your seat. Most humans will reciprocate a friendly chat.

    I've done solo away days many times before. I don't actually have many City supporting mates so, especially when I lived in London, I'd quite often go on my own to the less fashionable grounds. I could get a mate to come to Fulham...but weirdly no one fancied Charlton or Leyton Orient quite as much. I won't lie and tell you I've made life-long friends, but I have had many great conversations, and learned a lot about our varied fanbase.

    By the time our third goal flies in you'll all be hugging each other anyway.

    Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! Think I will follow your advice and just go for it. Plus its been long enough since a cardiff away game, be silly to miss it!?

    Sorry to hear that. I'm going through a similar bout of loneliness myself. Currently I'm living on my own in a far flung corner of the world. My wife and 3 month old son are back in the UK visiting family...and that's also where all my family and real, old, friends are. It's been 18 months since I saw 95% of those people as well - thanks to Covid.

    I have a few friends here but people you've known for a year or two never really compare to those you've known for 20 years, or your family.

    I'm joining my wife and son in the UK in 3 weeks' time, but this weekend I struggled a bit with feeling pretty disconnected from the world. Like you I was mostly sat around the flat all day doing not very much. Honestly, reading the thread about Nagy's homesickness has hurt a little bit as well.

    I'm jealous of you even being able to go to the Cardiff game!

    Covid has been difficult and has isolated a lot of people, I was very lucky to be living with family and friends throughout so I can't begin to imagine how it's been for you! 

    I hope that being able to join your wife and son gives you something to look forward to. I do think it's lovely that there's a thread like this for people struggling with things. I hope you're doing okay!

    I've not decided if I'm going to go alone yet or sell the tickets! Although not sure watching us get slapped around by Flint will help with the low mood!?

    Having a bit of a rubbish time at the moment. Have just gone from seeing loads of friends every day to moving back to Bristol and not having many friends here at all. I'm waiting to start a new job at the moment so I'm sat around at home doing nothing all day. I know it's just a big change that I need to get used to but it's really hit home now that I have a spare ticket for Cardiff and can't find a single person to go with!! Just wanted to have a little vent, hope you're all doing okay x
