havanatopia Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 My bro is flying in from Anguilla to see the City promoted. Now, he comes home about once a year but this is not a scheduled visit so that, in my book, is pretty dedicated stuff.The distance into Bristol Airport, if he could fly like a crow, would be 3,974.89 miles one way. However, he has to go via Newark which is a lot more obviously.But, for the sake of this little bit of fun we shall leave it as the direct crow flies distance.Is there any expat out there that can top that? If so, he/she deserves a medal.Come on u redddssssssssssssssss. there is no cup for coming.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'll let him answer for himself but lets just say "one team in keynsham" isnt in Keynsham, and hes coming over for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
december 1963 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Anguilla is further away and a flight costs more, but several city supporters sat in a coach to get to our last game for about the same length of time it takes to fly from the West Indies Edited May 1, 2007 by december 1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bro is coming via new York as it happens.. then cab over to Newark for flight to Brizzle. I think he flies in day before!Afghanistan man; ditto the respect comment. And same to all others around the world who can or cannot make it but will be flying the flag. There are a lot of us around. p.s. delighted with the Liverpool win tonight. I went severely off Chelski when Robben dived in the box as he usually does... I had the broadest of grins when he missed his penalty! priceless.

bransonmo Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thoroughly dejected, been ill for nearly four months. Keep rebooking my flight from Sydney, but as at today my doctor and surgeon have cancelled any travel in the near future. Even tried to work a 3 hop trip with overnight stopovers. don't get old and sick, its the final curtain . From an old paratrooper, well done to Sparkeyboy 72 and the other Bristol City lads in Afghanistan, you have my love and respect. :goingup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'll let him answer for himself but lets just say "one team in keynsham" isnt in Keynsham, and hes coming over for the game.Presently mid way between Grand Cayman and Heathrow in fact, at about 12000 meters.His ticket is in the same vicinity, though unfortunately traveling in the opposite direction.Some rather desparate negotiations underway with the powers that be in the ticket office...
