You are Forced to Emigrate..... 12:39 - May 14 with 8381 viewsBrianMcCarthy

Question:

You are forced to emigrate for one year. No choice. You've got to go.

But part of the sweetener is that you get a free season ticket for another team.

What City would you move to, and what team would you go and see?

1) Football
2) Non-Football

I've thought about this and my answers are:

1) Amsterdam, and Ajax. Museums, architecture, laid-back people, great football and watching Ajax Academy train. And spliff.

2) Boston, and the Red Sox. Imagine watching all that twisted angst up close. It would be hysterically funny. Plus I love the Sox.

1) Never been to Istanbul, but I imagine there’d be mountains of stuff to keep me interested between games.
2) Sydney. Beautiful place, great people - League, Cricket and even AFL.

Toronto.

Football - they have a team apparently and DIchio played for them.
Hockey - the Leafs.

Frankly, I'd be tempted to sack off the football and swap it for the Blue Jays.

Crystal Palace, it’s south of the river but I hear that English is widely understood and the people are friendly.


Probably right on the first two points, the third, not so sure.

Cape Town.

I'll pass on the football though.

Windhoek, Klippies and coke and proper braais.

Test matches..

Been twice I love it.

Co.Kerry, Ireland.

The Lixnaw Hurling Irreugulars.

It has all I need. Four pubs (one incorporating a butchers), a convenience shop, garage and a chip shop.

Baltimore - The Ravens. Also I could wander round the city pretending to be Bunk from the Wire.

New York for the Amazin' Mets.

If I had to double up it would be Oakland for the A's and Raiders.

Sexy Asian dwarves wanted.

That was going to be my first answer.
But that would mean having to decide what red religion I would have to be if i lived in Cork.
"Do ye support the Pool or the Red Divils Laaaad?"
"Neither, I support Queens Park Rangers"
"Whaaa?, Who are they.... like?"
"They play in blue and white hoops in the Championship"
"I taught that was Reading.......... like?"
"No"!
"But seriously lad, are ye Liverpool or Manchester Uniteeeeed?"

So I decided on anywhere in New Zealand and would follow which ever football team is nearest and which ever Rugby club is nearest. I wouldn't be that bothered

I'd probably end up in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where my partner comes from. Nice food, hot in summer (40oC+), freezing in winter (-30oC), low level corruption everywhere, not much to do.

FC Dordoi of Bishkek are general winners of League & cup most seasons in an 8 team League.

Binoculars a must.



This ground isn't as big as it looks, and Bishkek isn't the worse place I've ever been to.

I'd kill for a year in Buenos Aires (Boca) or Rio (Fluminense). Both times I've been to either it's been out of season so not been able to catch a game.

1. Copenhagen, great city, great people, great beer, quite a few teams from FC Copenhagen or Brondby (feel like Danish Man Utd, Man City equivalents) to what was my local club for a while, Lyngby (their stadium was at the bottom of the garden).

2. Ljubljana, beautiful city, nice people, great location, lovely climate, football as well. But lovely wine, beer and food

1. Berlin

Union, possibly in the Bundesliga next season, and Berlin, second only to London in European capital cities.

2.San Sebastian.

Real Sociedad, nearly finished stadium work done, and a brilliant place to live.

Buenos Aires is not a bad answer though.


San Sebastian - Great choice!

Good to see some love for Vancouver. We have the Whitecaps (MLS) Pacific FC of the newly formed Canadian Premier League (although they play on the Island) and of course the Canucks. I live close to the Nat Bailey stadium where the Vancouver Canadians play minor league baseball. Plus spliff for Brian and some pretty hard-core politics for FDC.

And (at least) two forum members live here ...

Coming over in September bear watching 600 mls north of Vancouver during the salmon run and booked a whale watching trip as well from Vancouver. Holiday of a lifetime. Was over there about 10years ago when my son was travelling, He was in N Vancouver Whats the name of the chain of restaurants where the waitresses wear black dresses I was very impressed

Non Football?

Easy. New York and the New York JETS! I think one year is about right for living in New York,

Football?

I love Florence, but care nowt for Fiorentina.
I’ve heard great things about San Sebastien but again, care nowt for Real Sociedad.
Sampdoria were my C4 Italian side as a kid, but Genoa isn’t the most beautiful place in Italy.
I like OM too, but Marseille is tough, dirty, and I can’t see how it’d be nice live in for a year.
Berlin in a cool place to live, and i’d have to support Hertha, but isn’t their stadium way too big for them?

Tough.

I think i’d need to care about a sports team wherever I lived to enjoy a life there.

As such Sampdoria, but perhaps the outskirts of Genoa on the coast somewhere. Italy is ace anyway.

Iceland, town of Hveragerdi on the south coast. A place where they grow pineapples. I fell n love with the place two years ago. I would pitch up ( pun intended) at FK Grundavik for a season, just along the coast,one of the most picturesque grounds out there.

Barring that, KR in Reykjavik. A beautiful city.
