Where do you follow ECFC?

[John William]

Going to be following them from Sydney next year as I'm taking a year abroad from Uni!

It's a tough life. My heart bleeds for you (Sydney is an expensive place to socialise in...)

Mike, Although they say 'a picture is worth a thousand words' how about 1001 words telling us about how you follow ECFC from 7250+ miles away!

My story is not very exciting, Andy. Saturday matches start 9 p.m here summertime and therefore 10 p.m. winter time. Usually follow on Exeweb from wherever I am. Tuesday/Wednesday matches are a bit more difficult (around 2 or 3 a.m), so I try to not to wake the missus up to avoid getting a thick ear. I did actually get to watch live the fateful Liverpool v City Cup match here live a couple of seasons ago.
We did have some fruit bats that got into the house one night while following one match a few years ago and took us three days to get rid of them. Ducking and diving while following Exeweb was a bit of a larf.

I follow City from Cornwall, not as glamourous as it sounds I'm afraid. We sometimes hear rumours of results when travelling bards roll into the village, sometimes up to three years later. It is possible to get wireless coverage but they usually concentrate on the local tribes team ply mouth (so called because they stick laminated wood in their gobs during the mating season). Went along to one of their "matches" once, quite amusing to see the crowds forming lines and making grunting sounds during the game, they called it a dockyard derby because most of the attendees were derelict. Life's very hard down here and people rely on going down to the beach and collecting driftwood which they then use to hit tourists and steal their money. Most respectable money seems to come from colonials that swarm around the edges in the less wet season, locals call them Emmets which is ancient Cornish for Haemeroids on account of the fact that they go all red, travel in bunches and aggravate the anal area. Some build or buy dwellings and settle in the area until it becomes less attractive when they leave and close down the once thriving village behind them. Nothing to do with The Simpsons but they're called second homers.....but I'd better not go down that route!

Very amusing post, which is not far from the truth. Bleddy grockles.
