First time posting here so, as they say, please be gentle. I could have been the guy in Tokyo - I was with Jerome Boere when he uttered the infamous 'sad bast*rds' quote. However, I'm now living in Phoenix, Arizona; so another USA based Shrimpers fan.

 

[Shrimperstrust]

An exiled shrimper in Australia (Perth Shrimper I believe), and with the help of the Trust & SZ arranged for an SUFC Pennant to travel around the world and get photographed with several exiles.

There was an interactive map, updates & pictures of the exiles with the pennant on our old website.

This caused quite a lot of interest, not only on here, but with the local media etc.

Over the next few weeks I will see if I can recover the original webpages & re-post on the current Trust site.

Maybe this is something that can be done again?

And another welcome - so why so long before the 1st post then?

It's taken me this long to build up the courage - and, given the harsh proff reading on Shrimperzone - practice my English/grammar as I had the fortune to attend Fairfax High.

I've attended a several games over recent years but sadly I can't remember the last time I saw us win (could be the mists of time, or it could be the beer). I'm currently back in town and I was at the game on Saturday so I've made a decision to stay away tomorrow, just in case. Not superstitious, knock wood.

My wife is Italian and half her family (big Italian family:)) have either shirts , scarves , hats etc..

Her brother and father will definately be watching the game tomorrow.
Every time I go over there the conversation is still about the night we beat Manure. They really couldn't believe what they were watching!

 

[blueparrot]

4 guys from Norway in the Spread last Friday prior to the Port Vale game.

I'm an exile in Norway - I had always assumed I was the only one. Did they say where in Norway they were from? Norwegians or Exiles?

Welcome mate. I've been to Phoenix as well...

They were Norwegians but I didn't speak too much to them.

Fairfax High no longer exists mate, it was Prittlewell School for a bit, but not sure if it hasn't gone through another re-invention! Don't worry too much about your grammar and that, if you've got something to say then go right ahead and say it - within reason of course!

 

[turkishm]

There is an exile in Turkey that comes on here.

There is 2 of us in fact,here in Fethiye, Turkey. Will both be glued to sky from 9 30 out here.

Not sure if this has been covered but over the weekend (Telegraph I think) I read a piece about Leeds and their game against Gillingham, who weren't mentioned much, and the attempt Leeds are making to find a fan in every country in the world. Naturally it got me thinking about Blues' fans over the world.

Well obviously England, Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Canada are covered.......so as Delia would say "Les be 'aving you!"

Apologies if this has been done before.

Cyprus - Mick Dalgarno, ex local referee. Is it Frankie Banks also there ?

 

[TrueBlue]

XXXXXL16 was from Hong Kong

Now China so don't count plus he was a Darryl Sutch fan not a shrimper really!
