redZW Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well... as my location suggests, the OH and I are in that funny place that isn't a town and isn't a city. Oh, and has concrete cows and a crap football team we never wanted. OH is a season ticket holder and travels the 250-mile round trip for every home weekend game; most of the weekday games have to be missed. Unfortunately due to financial constraints this is the last year (out of 3) so we'll be back to getting to as many away games as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hay-on-wye on the Hereford/ welsh border (Inheritance). Up until the pre season friendlies this year 2008/09 missed Weymouth and the Portugal trip. I,ve missed four home games in the last 10 years and because of work can,t get to on average 6 or 7 away games a season During the same period. This season has been awful in the league. Broke down on the way to Barnsley, got pickpocketed in Blackpool and hit a badger the night before sheff utd away. Still i,m CITY til i die and i am proud of this. my children are city . WE ARE PROUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Moving from Brizzle, initially spread the gospel to TAMWORTH the crossroads of all football supporters.... and it worked, left in 1990 for a succession of players to continue the mission most notably the 'two and only' Aaaron Brown. Now down in a small village nestling on the banks of the Teign Estuary between Newton Abbot and Teignmouth in very wet Devon. While not quite the football supporting 'melting pot' of Tamworth, Torquay jostle with Plymuff and Exeter for support but pleased to say a number of reds are present (plus one Sag who lives nextdoor to my partner's house in Chudleigh - a place somewhat astonishingly totally taken over by Cardiff fans enroute to Plymuff a season or so back.....something they still talk about today!)

Philip Belgrave Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 From where the Bunurong and Wurunjerri peoples once roamed. European settlement happened around here in 1870- although I arrived a little later! I saw THE LIGHT while growing up in North Somerset: went to school in Weston-super-Mare.

harkow red Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I was looking around the forum and it seems there are quite a few of us that are now living outside of Bristol and even outside of the former Avon boundaries..... With that in mind, I thought it'd be interested to learn a bit more about where you're all based.... As the Login shows, I'm now in Essex (left Bristol 1998), but still true to the cause..... anymore of you out there?
