Thanks NSC

[Filipino Pat]

My first post. I’ve supported the Albion since I can remember which would be about 1979. Loved the Goldstone, my last game being the penultimate match there ever against Wigan. After that I left the UK only returning very occasionally to visit family who now live in Scotland. Ashamed to say I’ve only ever been to one game since (Colchester at the Withdean, in 2003 I think). Currently living in Manila, I’m still an Amex virgin, with no end in sight. Anyhow, my early Sunday mornings (Aug – May) are always spent trawling NSC and re-living games vicariously through the Official Match Day Thread and other discussions. Having done this for over 17 years, for some reason today I felt compelled to register and then write with my thanks to everyone for unknowingly updating me on Albion news and performances. That’s all….

Welcome, Pat, and be careful. The old lips can get welded to the crack pipe in short order...

Hi there!

May be wrong, but I am sure I have seen on here a number of other Manila based Seagulls. Worth looking them up to meet up for televised games?

Yup, would be good to push the envelope a bit out there

A first post that manages to successfully work in the word "vicariously" - I like this. Welcome.

Always wondered what happened to Pat Butcher after Frank sadly left us

Hello Pat - yes this place is a godsend for us ex-pat seagulls. My story reads similar to yours, left Sussex and have been moving around since the Goldstone days. I did manage to break my Amex duck on a brief visit back due to a very generous poster who fixed me a spare ticket (sadly my only Amex experience was losing to the Scum in the play offs )
