I have followed the trip to Austria with envy and wish I could have been part of it. Also, I have been asked for input about how we can promote, educate or inform about the thousands of Yellows in the UK around the world.
The only thing I can think of is some form of blog/webpage, etc in which we can note down where people are or post pictures of where they live. For example, if we have a supporter in New York, it could be them proudly wearing the Yellow and Blue in Times Square? It also doesnt have to be just where they live, but also UK based supporters proudly showing off their colours on their travels?
It is possible that this could or might be used in the club programme with a page or slot profiling exiled supporters.
What does everything think? How easy would this be to do? Who could administer and on what platform? Please dont say Facebook as I dont use it and dislike it.

Why not just have a thread on here? If you started it, then I'm sure others would join in.

Okay, am aware though that some like to keep their persona on here different to real life and on other social media.
I might need some help in how to post pictures of here.
Plus I am unsure how many posters vs non forum members we have

I'm interested to know how many non-forum members post on here.

Fearing a woosh I'll answer that. None! And the number of members is going down shortly. Why? Because I can no longer go foxhunting and so am going to do a cull on members with zero posts instead. So if you are one of those zero guys get your first post in quickly or you'll be gone. Ooh I'm a power-hungry bar steward. ?

Easiest way to catch a polar bear is to place a glacier mint on the ground. Toptip it doesn't work in Tenerife or other warmer climes. I think the sand upsets their paws.

As I think that is what HKyellow is suggesting.

HKYellow, I have been thinking about adding something along those lines to the website. I am in the process of giving the site a facelift, so I will see what I can add to the site. I'll also send your ouexiles.org.uk login via a PM

Anyone know him?

I seem to remember a few years ago someone set up a world map that showed where exiles lived. That's about all I remember though ...

Diego Munoz Carpintero is his name. He will also join this forum.
Also bumped into a scummer at the game after he saw our shirts. I teased him a bit.
It was a great night. Over 52,000 to see Arsenal vs Everton, must of been 45,000 Arsenal fans from all over Asia. They won 3-1 and some of the football was breathtaking in 30c heat.

Yeah, that was surreal about finding the Chilean chap proudly wearing OUFC; considering that Chile recently won the Copa. The scummer claimed he was from Swindon, not so sure he is fan? But, you rightly gave him some grief anyhow!

Only "teased him", you have gone down in my estimation now:D Give him loads of shite after our recent victories over them..
