Went to my first game last night. The ground is like a concrete Withdean! Not the best match I've ever seen but a few moments which were enough to have me returning in the coming weeks.
SEAGULLS OVER SAIGON!!!!!
Surely Saturday or Sunday lunchtime. Liverpool are still quite popular in Asia and lunchtime would lead to maximum coverage over here. Any later and the game is on in the late evening or early hours.
Vietnam all year! Just back from Christmas in Thailand and about to go to visit the Malaysian Seagulls in KL. Apart from that it'll be a week in the UK in April for Barnsley away and 2 weeks in August also in the UK for family reasons. Hope to catch a game though.
Update on my story!
Now in Vietnam teaching at a new University. Pay and conditions are good with a great apartment thrown in too. Quite a few newly qualified TEFL teachers here too so clearly the need for prior experience is falling in some places!

A colleague over here has told me he has some friends coming to visit soon who are Brighton fans. I think he mentioned Chris Tipple but I'm not sure!
So, who are you? It'll be good to find another Seagull in Saigon!!

And if anyone knows of any...
Grimsby (grew up there!)
But I also latch onto a team wherever I go, hence Velez Sarsfield (Buenos Aires), Gimnasia y Tiro (Salta, Argentina) and Esperance (Tunis). Not sure what it will be like in Vietnam though!!

I was driving from South Wales to Brighton to see us play Southampton in the League Cup. Somehow the game didn't seem relevant by the time kick-off came.

Can't remember where I was or what I was doing. However, my Grimsby supporting friends were celebrating being top of the Championship, just above Man City!!

SHAMEFUL! They are now going to ensure that River endure just a single season out of the top flight in a move that also protects Boca from the drop should the forthcoming season be disastrous!!

TEFL can be a career. It's not just for young people! I have no intention of returning to the UK for the foreseeable future!!
