BlueBloodedOwl Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Chicago, IL. Not met any Wednesay fans. However theres a guy at work that has worn a different English Club shirt every day since I started a year ago. The owls one is the silver and purple kit, my first away shirt as a kid.

Neal M Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Weld County represent. Apparently there's a decent size British community in Denver, but I manage to avoid it. The Yanks who like football are (quite understandably) only really interested in the Premier League. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osowl Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Without giving too much away on a public forum, where abouts? North/South/East/West? Northside. I saw a Wednesdayite bumper sticker once about 2 years ago, that's about the closest I've come to Owls in Brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue n White Rampage Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 berlin, was in amsterdam before. always followed the owls. went to me first game with me nan when i was four or five against liverpool-i think we lost two one but the love affair truly started then, i think we beat man utd at home the same season and that really spurned me on. that was when every second kid was a man utd fan, there was only about 4 blunts fans in the world. when i couldnt go to games and rs put another game on the radio i'd annoy the roger out of me dad (irish and a tottenham fan-weird i know!) by demanding ceefax every two seconds. i love wednesday, even when it was hard and nearly everyone around me were unitedites. i was always proud to be a sheffield wednesday supporter, even if there was a bunch of tails on the board or as manager. i go to games here and enjoy them but they really try to hard to be british football fans imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm representing in Bangkok, three years deep now. I listen to every game on Wednesday Player and get home twice a year for a few games. I know a few other Owls here, if anyone ever comes over make sure you go to The Pickled Liver, owned by a Wednesdayite with loads of memorabilia on the wall. There's also a BJ bar next door for any of you sleazy buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Sole14 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sydney, Australia. Annoying that for most the season games are on at 2am. Daylight savings is a pain in the arse for English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahrain Owl Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 anywhere between South East Asia the Middle East and occasionally Europe and USA - perhaps my name should be Wicker Owl.... no not because I have shoulders like the Wicker Arches (as my old Mum used to say)......

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm in Kagoshima, Japan. Been here for 12 years, married to a Japanese woman with 3 kids which is the main reason I don't come home. Had a season ticket for about 8 years and miss watching Wednesday as much or more than anything else in England. My wife still hasn't come to terms with me getting up at 3:30am for midweek games on Wednesday Player!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sydney, Australia. Annoying that for most the season games are on at 2am. Daylight savings is a pain in the arse for English football. This. Been over since 95. Coming back June 2015 - will almost be 20 years to the day. Managed to make one of my younger brothers a Wednesdayite despite him being born over here (1997) and him never having seen them play - though I suppose that helps...

Guest Brigadier Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm in Luoyang, China. I'm 23, been here about 8 months teaching. Next week I'll be signing a new contract with my school to keep me for 2 more years after this. I really love it here. Got myself a beautiful girlfriend, a decent pay packet and a pretty laid back job. If I'm honest I can't see myself coming back to the UK any time soon. Do I miss home? Not really if I'm honest. I know plenty of people who came to China the same time as me and at least half of them cried their way home after about a month or two. It's definitely not for everyone to live here but it suits me down to the ground. Oh and since I've been here I've barely spoken to anyone who even likes football, never mind Wednesday. And it makes me sad to report that most Chinese people who know a bit about English football are more likely to know of the pigs than us. "Where you from?" "Sheffield in England" "Oh... yah I know. United?" "....... yeah. But there's also an...... oh forget it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
