Jersey? Who in their right mind would ever willingly move to Jersey?  

Mariner fan here living in Los Angeles for the past 11 years... was living in New York City for 4 years prior to that... but am not an American.  The job is here, and thus so am I.

At least I can go watch the MLS champion LA Galaxy (and pretty boy Beckham) if need be... although to be honest I don't  .  The Home Depot Center ain't got nothin' on Blundell Park!

LOL....wife was living in Jersey at the time. To be honest we lived in a decent part of the state - 30mins from the beach or NYC, so it wasn't all that bad.

Moved to NC since that where she's from originally and has family here.

Haven't been home in 11 years

I lived in New York in the 90s, and there was another Town fan living there at the time. We used to go and watch matches at an Irish pub in midtown on a Saturday morning, full of Chelsea supporting dickheads working on Wall St. There are some beautiful parts to Jersey, I quite liked the faded grandeur of the Jersey shore, reminded me of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire seaside towns.

We had two great guys stay with us for the weekend of the last Wembley game vs MK Dons - a father and son from Seattle - really great guys and passionate about the team - Eric was the son, sorry, forgot the father's name.

Atlantic City in December was very faded but like you I enjoyed it more beacuse of this. Only stayed 1 night but was an interesting if fairly shabby place.

I seem to have bad / good timing with stuff like this as went to Coney Island the day after it had closed down for the season (September time) and it was the one day of my stay when it was really windy and rainy.

Out of season, windswept sea side towns are ace!

EDIT - aware I have just non footied this.

Not yet!

I work in L.A and New York sometimes. Hoping for a transfer one day. When the company will sponsor me.

I would like to visit but wouldn't want to live there. Canada on the other hand looks stunning, if a bit on the nippy side. I always thought it seemed like there were lots of parallels between US & Canada and England & Scotland.
