kennypaton Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm soon to be a Nomad. I've lived in Glagow all my life but am moving to Nottingham in October to study for a PhD at the University of Nottingham. Looking forward to it but will miss going to Firhill on a regular basis. Was a strange feeling after the QoS game knowing that this is probably my last season properly following Thistle for at least 3 years.

My funding runs out in September, but I'm nowhere near done, so suspect I'll be hanging about for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I just love reading this thread Let me sing to you all! Somewhere in Scotland (the Nomads song) On a distant shore, in a far country this life of mine, it has taken me. Though my ties to the past are not all good, There’s one bond that won’t break, no, it never could Chorus Somewhere in Scotland, far from me Wi’ my team from Glasgow is where I long to be Red and Yellow, not your Green or Blue Partick Thistle Football Club, for me will do! There are things in my life that fill all my days But when Saturday comes, I think of yesterdays. I was young, I was red, I was yellow, I was black. Those were wonderful days; I’d like to see them back Chorus If I cannot be with you when you’re home or away Well my heart’s in the crowd when Partick Thistle play And I listen hard and I watch for news Yes I’ll stay a Jags supporter, should we win or lose. Chorus ( & repeat to finish!) Copyright Hugh L Cooper January 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennypaton Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 What department will you be working in? My funding runs out in September, but I'm nowhere near done, so suspect I'll be hanging about for a while. I will be working in the School of Biosciences, I am doing a PhD in Neuroscience. I will be based on the Sutton Bonnington Campus and from your location status I'm guessing that is likewise for yourself. What are you studying? What did you find as the best option regarding accomodation (e.g. city centre, Loughborough, campus accomodation)? Also what local teams have a good matchday experience (e.g Notts Forest, County, Derby etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman the German Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 A Town in Germany where Sebastian Vettel hails from (Formula 1 driver). Please have a gander in Google - Heppenheim has Vinyards and a superb "Landschaft". Diehard Jag who grew up in Possil and attended Westercommon primary and so was able to see the players training at "Playtime". Went to the BB in Maryhill and graduated to stewarding at the auld place and have brothers who still do so as well as many friends. Kids think I'm crazy but Thistle till I die!

Waka Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Any of you german nomads happen to be in Gelsenkirchen the next weekend? I'll be there for the Rock Hard Festival. Would be nice if I wouldn't be the only one who runs around in a thistle strip there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colognejag Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Sorry, Waka, I'm playing in a match of the very-German sport of cricket next weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman the German Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi, how are you doing? I slipped a disk in my back a year ago in January and it took along time to get back - but since November I've started playing for the over-40s team again. That's what I like here in Germany. When they say sport for all, they really mean it! I may be in Köln over the weekend 18th to 20th June - will you be around then? Hey, Herman! Still playing in the old men's footie team?

Jaggernaut Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thought I'd added this yesterday, but maybe not. Jaggernaut is in Kyoto for the next four months, so a Nomad and proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lossie Loon Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 England/Wales for me - Coventry in the English midlands to be exact, although originally from Lossiemouth (hence the username). Support Lossiemouth FC as well - and there are quite a few who have the Thistle/Lossie combo as well, both with Glaswegians now living in the north and with Lossiers living in the city.

erzamacaroonbars Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 There are heaps of Jags fans (spot the local lingo) in Oz, must be worth a Jags convention, somewhere convenient like Hobart!

erzamacaroonbars Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 There you go then and Ballarat must be the most convenient place for all these Thistle fans to meet - now there's a statement I didn't think I'd ever make. If it was a Jags convention I'd travel, infact "I would walk 500 miles......" (that would still take me just round the corner a bit).

georgieshawsshorts Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Who's going to organise a NZ meetup (preferably Auckland) but could do Wellington??? GSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapiti Jag Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 GSS - was it you that ripped the shorts off the poor lad that famous day at Forfar? I still suffer the nightmares from him flashing everyone in sight! The KiwiJags and myself met up at the Phoenix/Boca game in July - we could try to organise a larger meet-up around another Phoneix game later in the season? A weekend game to make the most of it, and maybe wait until the weather cheers up a bit? (Sat, Dec 18th, 7PM - Jets at the Westpac?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ Jag Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'll stick something fairly vague about Aussie and Kiwi meet-ups in the next newsmail. See if we can get some idea of who's interested. If you Aussie fellas want to organise something, PM me (or e-mail me at the Nomads address - [email protected]) with some more details.
