Hi All, how excited am I
Hi, just a quick hello. Currently living in Southampton England but really hoping to make the move to Wellington. I am 43, married to Tracy and have children aged 12 and 10.
What are we hoping for from a move. I guess it has to be the chance to change our lives completely is such a beautiful location.
Biggest thing we would miss after the family, has to be Leeds United. Although I hear The Phoenix are a tasty outfit

Re: Hi All, how excited am I
You should know that soccer really is a minority sport here. However, there appears to be enough interest in the sport to probably keep your round ball addiction satisfied.
Welcome to the site.

Luckily I am a fan of egg chasing but not the Union variety

Re: Hi All, how excited am I
Hi Wimpy,
Sounds like a (sort of) mass exudos from sunny Southampton then, as I'm also moving to Wellington from there later this year!
I know what you mean about missing the soccer game - managed to squeeze in watching one last game (I support the darkside from Hants - Pompey) over the w/e so all those goals against Reading will have to keep me going!! Will now have to invest in a rule book of egg chasing
Good luck with the move!!

Hi Wimpy
We are also moving from Southampton in December. Off to Hamilton!!
Hubby supports saints, but from their form at the moment, I think he is quite glad leave it all behind and get a refund on the season ticket!!

Re: Hi All, how excited am I
We are going with children aged 8 (will be 9 by time we go) and 5. Are yours looking forward to it? I'm another Tracey too, such a common name!!
Preston was not a good result the other night, I think my son could play better than them, Steve's lost all hope!

Re: Hi All, how excited am I
They are slowly getting used to it but to be honest we go away on holiday on wednesday for 2 weeks so have decided not to talk to them about it again till we come back as we want them totally focussed on the holiday.
