Fans Around the World

[Arendal Blue]

I am also living in Norway, in Arendal on the South Coast.

Apart from me, there are not any Southend fans here. But last year during the Hove music festival in the town here I met two Southend supporters who were working selling (festival) T-shirts.

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.

Don't stay away AS, if you're in town surely you have to come watch! I couldn't stop myself!

Also a big welcome to the new guys popping their heads in, no-one take shot now..

Surprised theres no Germans.

 

[Southampton Shrimper]

Surprised theres no Germans.

I regularly travel to Germany - I have set up an exchange link between the school I work at and a German school. I have taken the German teacher who usually stays with me to the final games of the last two seasons at home to Bristol City and away here in Southampton, so he usually follows our progress!

Does that count?

Also, IF we make it to Wembley, I'm going to take two colleagues from Australia along, as they would love to watch a big classic football match.

 

[Bazza the dog]

Two of us here in Sao Paulo, myself and obviousley her indoors has been converted into a shrimper. She had the choice of pledging her love to the blues or getting a good backhander from the dog, she wisely chose the second option.

By the way Sao Paulo Shrimper and Barry the dog are the same person.

First Post

First post after many months of observing. Just to let you know that there's at least one Blues fanatic in the Comminges, south-west France. Will be listening to blues world tommorow night if I fail to get live streaming on the computer.
First match FA Cup Man City in the fifties. Last match Leeds United in January. Next match, play-off final at Wembley????

 

[OldBlueLady]

Loads of first timers coming on today in response to this thread - welcome everyone, the more the merrier!

 

[LeighDad]

I have a Greek collegue in Athens who became a Blues fan when he was at university over here.

 

[Exiled Phil]

I'm in South Wales - does that count?

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Excellent to see a whole load of new Shrimpers exiled throughout the world on here. For those who are new to the board (i.e. haven't been lurking since the turn of the year) and fancy getting involved with contributing to both the SUFC Exiles shirt sponsorship and all clubbing in together to get a Blue Voice/SUFC Exiles flag in time for the start of next season then drop me a PM.

PS: Fred, you've missed A Century United (formerly Shrimp in a Kilt) off the Scottish Shrimpers contingent. Tom is the most northerly of us, an hour north of Inverness.

Really good to see so many new posters popping up from the most unexpected places. I hope that you all continue to post now you have started.

[A Century United]

There was a Mexican Shrimpers flag at one of the Millenium finals.

And the suggestion about a map was a good one, if anyone fancies setting it up I think it can be done here:

Ah well, shows you what I know. I consider myself relatively well travelled but have sadly never been to Papa New Guinea, and the only time I've ever heard Puk Puk was in reference to oil rigs.

According to Wiggy , you know nothing. :D

 

[pukpuk shrimper]

puk puk is pidgin for crocodile which are very prevalent here. We even have them on the local golf course !! Pidgin is the local language which is a cross between English and German.

Unfortunately we don't get any tv coverage here, only ESPN out of Singapore who sometimes show highlights of the Championship games.

Have a great time tonight, or tomorrow at Roots Hall. Incidentally, I did notice that on an ESPN sports football game show their, that one of the teams was called Roots Hall !!! I guess there may be some Shrimpers fans there as well.
