I'll throw my hat in the ring. I know there are quite a few ex-pats spread around this place. There are others that comment on my blog,
http://www.chicagoaddick.blogspot.com, that are actual Yanks, who have somehow become Addicks. Yet to meet any in the flesh though and mostly get a look of bewildement when I repsond to "which soccer team do you support?"

Still not Charlton though
The standard is shocking, so I can't think what its like in the USL. I can imagine its a laugh though.
Do you get over for many CAFC games?
Vancouveraddick - I go to the odd Whitecap games but take my 7 year old son. We have watched with amusement your antics behind the goal.
CT - I think NY Addick has a couple of others that he sees when watching matches on TV. There does only seem to be me in Chicago, although I do know of someone out in Illinois.
Re the USL, that is a good point about expectations. I enjoy watching my parents local team when I am home, Eastbourne Borough for the same reasons.
I did e-mail my story of me and Chicago last week, maybe you didn't get it, I received yours last night and was made up.
The windy city is a place very close to my heart so if you can e-mail me again to confirm that you did not get it I will be only too pleased to tell you the story again.

Paul
e-mailed it at 23.20hrs our time which I guess would be 17.20hrs in the Windy city, hope you enjoy it.
