not going to lie though there are some big things England have over America e.g free healthcare
No doubt. That's no reason not to go though.

I lived in Florida and signed up to STFC World.  Watched the Wigan and Huddersfield games live on TV over there.  You see more English games live on TV over there than you do here.

I'll go in your place if you like, I can throw in a wife and two kids if you like?  (just kidding boss)

They have more football on the TV than we have on Sky here, so from a pure watching games basis you'll get plenty and Swindon will be on several times a year, plus the odd game streaming.

Yankees & Mets are both easy to get to on the subway regardless of where you'll be living.

Flights are relatively reasonable due to the volume of them between London and competing for the business dollars between airlines.  Makes coming back for a busy period like Easter or Christmas a possibility so you can even squeeze some live games in.

Math lesson? Are you american initially with language like that?

A little off topic but there's a lot of talk of another New York team being set up to rival the red bulls. Maybe even bringing back the Cosmos

My youngest daughter is emigrating in three months to the USA....taking her young one with her Sad Sad

It has taken her well over a year and visits to the US Embassy to get the amber light.

We will miss them both terribly but i really hope it works out for them.

You can't be planning 5-6 years ahead at your young age. It's a pipe dream.

I'm off on my year abroad next year, luckily they have two 24 hour football channels in Bosnia, both Serbian... Perhaps they're not so bad after all...

I'm a town fan living in NYC for the past three years and in the U.S for 7.

Trust me. If you have the opportunity to do so; get yourself here.

I love stfc as much as the next guy on here but you can't turn an opportunity to leave swindon (no offense) or England for that matter to come here.

In terms f staying in contact with the football, it's brilliant here, we are 5 hours behind here so on a Saturday you wake up and watch a 745am game, watch a 1000 am game whilst listening to town, watch a 1230 pm game and then can carry on to Spanish league Mls etc.

My old man always bemoans how I watch far more football on tv than he gets to because pretty much every game is on tv here. There's a bar called 'legends' that will show any game as long as you request it so whenever town are on tv I usually get myself there.

In reverse....

I would consider NOT going abroad because of the Swindon.

Fair play to Bangkok, China Red (when he was there) and NZ Robin.....I feel their pain sometimes.

I'd like to live abroad for the experience (had the chance to do a year at a US college which I didn't do). Perfectly happy in England though.

The USA sounds like a lot of expensive faff. I'd love to live in Germany as an adult, learn a language while living there etc.
