havanatopia Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My bro is flying in from Anguilla to see the City promoted. Now, he comes home about once a year but this is not a scheduled visit so that, in my book, is pretty dedicated stuff.The distance into Bristol Airport, if he could fly like a crow, would be 3,974.89 miles one way. However, he has to go via Newark which is a lot more obviously.But, for the sake of this little bit of fun we shall leave it as the direct crow flies distance.Is there any expat out there that can top that? If so, he/she deserves a medal.Come on u redddssssssssssssssss. there is no cup for coming.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest december 1963 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Anguilla is further away and a flight costs more, but several city supporters sat in a coach to get to our last game for about the same length of time it takes to fly from the West Indies Edited May 1, 2007 by december 1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 left Singapore Tuesday morning now in New York- head to London to arrive Saturday morning- coach to Bristol and then home via Middle East- a timely business trip if ever there was one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Megan's Dad; you seem to be on course for being crowned! My bro is coming via new York as it happens.. then cab over to Newark for flight to Brizzle. I think he flies in day before!Afghanistan man; ditto the respect comment. And same to all others around the world who can or cannot make it but will be flying the flag. There are a lot of us around. p.s. delighted with the Liverpool win tonight. I went severely off Chelski when Robben dived in the box as he usually does... I had the broadest of grins when he missed his penalty! priceless.
