Aussie Seahawk · Aug 3, 2015

Hi everyone

I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and have been a Seahawks fan since discovering American football in 1985. A bit of a story lies behind why I chose Seattle. I visited the Emerald City in 1996 for three weeks, staying with friends I'd met on email, who live in the woods near Poulsbo in Kitsap County. I went to two games at the Kingdome: both were wins! Haven't been back since, but hoping to soon.

The first person I ever spoke to on email who I didn't actually know was a guy called Matthew Montgomery, a huge Seahawks fan. This was circa 1994 - a friend of mine here in Adelaide printed me out a post he'd sent to one of the old "alt.dot" Newsgroups fora. Lost contact with him many years ago. Matt, are you here? Anyone here heard of him? Of course he may not use his real name, even if he is on this forum!

Hey Mate, you gotta get a 12th Man flag, have a picture taken of you and it with something notable in the background, and post it here.

Welcome to our humble abode!

One of my classmates from High School in Washington State went to New South Wales playing Basketball. Doesnt play anymore but that is where he lives for the most part. Have fun and as PMedic said, it is getting fun now.

Welcome! Always great to see new Seahawk fans from all over the world.

My cousin and her husband moved to Keith, Australia a couple years ago, so she's about 225km away from you. She loves it there!

I've got a good friend who lives in Adelaide. For a brief moment, I was kinda hoping this was him.

Still, welcome! :mrgreen:

Don't lump me in with the rest of those cretins. I'm grown.

Being fat doesn't count as grown.

I'm 100% sure that list was an intended compliment :{)

BTW, you're not grown till your Mum cuts the mittens lose from your sleeves.

Hi everyone

Thank you to everyone for all your welcomes! It's almost like being back in Seattle again.

Thank you! I have a pic on my computer, but the FAQ says folks can't upload here from their own machine, if I read it correctly. Debbie (my friend in Poulsbo) had it posted onto Richard Sherman's Facebook page in early 2014, just before the Superbowl, so I'll ask her if she can show me what to do, to post it here.
