All those blue Mancs in exile...

Moved to Brisbane 8 1/2 years ago with wife and 1 kid, now got another and they are both as City as could be, I've no regrets, just the odd pang or two at 2 a.m. sat in my living room watching Fox sports and wishing I was somewhere else
 
Left Ashton for Dubai back in 2004/5
Can't believe its been nearly 8 years already

The only thing I miss about the UK is City.....wonder how many of feel like that

Those blues who have left our great city over the decades, when did you leave and where did you end up flying the blue & white flag?

In the stadium, then sadly back on the 8.15 to Euston, would have stayed for the Parade, but holiday in Italy on the Monday
 
First watched City with my Dad and big bro at Maine Road in September 67, then at Wembley in 69. Maybe I was a good luck charm! Went to Maine Road a lot from around 74-78, my 'charm' had obviously ran out! Maybe my bro was the luck! Dad's been a fan since before World War 2 and City is still all he wants to talk about in emails!!

Been mainly in Phuket and sometimes in Bangkok since 94.
Had some memorable moments trying to watch City in a Country where Utd and L'pool dominate coverage in sports bars. Mark Hughes last match vs. Sunderland cost me a fortune. Only place I could find to watch was a Karaoke bar where I had to rent a private room, 2 girls and a minimum of 2 drinks for me and each of the girls! Had a great time watching the 4-3 win but gave the girls a night off as they couldn't understand my passion for the game over them!!!

Last live Match was the 3-0 win over Liverpool sitting just below Sheik Mansour. Luckily my kid brother has long held great season tickets!

All in all, now that we've got one over on United, Phuket is not a bad place to watch EPL as the Cable TV supplier shows almost all games. At 6 or 7 hours ahead of GMT, the Monday games and Euro nights are a bit tough though!

But what I would have given to be in those seats against QPR!
 
Left Manchester two years ago for a better, sunnier life in Valencia. Still have my season ticket and get back for a few games. I play football for the local village team and I've already brought a few City shirts back for a few of the lads and will be doing so again next time I'm back in Manc. All with Kun or Silva on the back.
 
Left for Malawi a year ago, still have my season card which my mum uses, and I claim back when I'm on leave!!

Seen a surge in dodgy city shirts around lilongwe since i have arrived.
 
I have lived in Scotland (in the highlands) for the last few years. I really miss The Etihad, as it's called now. It's no where near as far as some of our great fans now live, but from here, I woudn't like to walk it. I am terrified of going on a plane, rail travel is expensive & my car is too old to get me to M/c & back on a regular basis. I will have to carry on watching on the box, it's not bad, but lacking in atmosphere. Some games are on the telly in the pub, then, especially this season, I've got about 12 regulars cheering us on," home from home"
 
Stafford after leaving the RAF here and putting the boys stability first....

One already in the mob and the youngest has his final medical soon then we can consider options?!
 
moved to crewe when i was 10 (not exactly far away) and now at uni in nottingham, being at university opens your eyes to how many rags breed and live everywhere, i've met one other city fan during my 2 years here, one!
 
Been here in Australia for 32years, miss City so much, I listen to the matches in the early hours of the morning, via the Club Match Day site and the radio, I would have loved to have been there for the QPR match, but one day I'll get back................
