Hello all,

Kevin here. Old guy, living in the middle of Illinois (away from Chicago). Cornfields as far as the eye can see.

As a kid, I worked in Southampton for a month, and I went by the Dell every day. Started reading, and I was hooked. Saw my first match at SMS in 2004, and have been back a few times since then. Saw them at Old Trafford in 15.

I read the Echo online every day, but it seems that they just regurgitate. So I was excited to find this place. Thoughtful comments and I’m learning new things. I love that.

Well, that’s enough for now. Hope to be at a game this season if my wife will let me. Til then, COYS!

Great story IlliniSaint.

So are you British originally? If so, where was home?

If not, then wow!

English ancestry (Lincolnshire), but my family came to the States as indentured servants in the 1600s. Something about horse thieves…

Born and raised in Illinois.

I liked the idea of supporting a team that was against the odds successful. It’s easy to be a United fan, but it takes balls to root for Saints here.

Excellent !

You’re not alone. Redslo - an occasional poster and all round good egg is a US citizen (he’s a lawyer, but we don’t talk about that).

Now, as this is going so well, we’ll let you settle in for a few days before we grill you on (in no particular order)

  • Trump

  • Clinton

  • Firearms

  • Pronunciation

Hello Kevin, welcome from another relative newbie, there’s a few horse thieves in my ancient history too so you’re not alone there (except my lot didn’t get caught)
