Question Exiles and those that live abroad.

be very up for that. I'm between Dulwich and Forest Hill. Used to get the train every game with another south London Shrimper, but covid, and us both having kids, has stopped that a bit. would be up for a few this season, if the wife allows

Similarly up for it @Spaceman Spiff. I wouldn't be much help on the driving front though, as I don't drive.

Often go back to my mum and dad's or brother's for the weekend when I go back to home games, but happy to do as a day trip instead here and there ?

The Broads are one of the many places I've lived, between Reedham and Cantley. Did you ever get up that way?

No can't say Either of those are familiar despite spending about half a dozen family holidays up that way.Remember the last one we stayed at the Swan Hotel in Horning where I also met a mate from Ludham in the early 80's.

Ah, that's further north. Reedham is much closer to the Suffolk border.

Hi WS. The missus and I have moved to Wymondham from The Hague in Netherlands in the last year so will be most likely be going to home games by train this season. Same journey time as the car, no need to find parking and we can have a few ciders! We cant make the Stockport match, but for Wrexham at home have booked tickets on the 1100 from Norwich which arrives in Diss at 1117. Gets into Prittlewell around 1330. As this is a ' cheap ticket' train we have booked to leave Southend around 1850, gets to Norwich 2120. You are more than welcome to join us!

We were in Holland for around 13 years, but always came back at least once a season with a smattering of Dutchies and other football crazed Europeans for away games at the likes of Sunderland, Pompey, Bradford City, Bristol Rovers (twice - they loved Bristol!), Wigan and, amazingly, Morecambe! I had done the 92 before going to NL and cant wait for away days to begin again (Kings Lynn on Saturday hardly counted as that is our nearest ground!).

Anyway, if you fancy joining us feel free. Hopefully see you at Diss in a couple of weeks.

What I love about this thread is how many die hard shrimpers there are dotted around the globe. Imagine they all still lived in the Southend area? We’d have no problem selling out!

There was some talk this morning about the exiles and those that live abroad. It would be interesting to see where we can take this, so if you are one of the above please let us know in this thread whereabouts you are.

Whereabouts? (used to go up there every year for family holidays).

I live in a village called Fleggburgh which is about 4 miles inland from Caister and about the same distance to Acle.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Think I remember Caister (but my annual family trips to the Broads were some time ago now)!

Supposed to be meeting up with a mate now exiled in Norfolk for the Chesterfied game in October.Will ask him to refresh my memory!
