Hey guys,

 

I'm Dany Angel, a Chelsea supporter since 2005 (I have no idea how this started). I'm Italian and South African and I live in the DR Congo. I'll move to Brussels beginning February for studies. I won't lie and say that my first motivation by joining this forum was to get tickets. I always struggle to find a ticket and always end up with nothing. I've been to the Bridge once last year while I was doing an internship in London and it was for a FA cup game. I didn't even have tickets I was thinking "alright I don't have tickets but I'll go to the Bridge just to feel the vibe" and ended up by buying a tickets in the black market right in front of the gates 3 times the price. Funny part is that the security guy saw me buy it and blocked me but I was so excited to see the Blues that he let me in. Whatever, I browsed the forum and it has some interesting debates, which I can't have with my friends cause you know other teams' fan never have good arguments  . I'll try to be as active as I can in the forum and I look forward virtually meeting you.

 

By the way, my english is not perfect since french is my native language but I started studying in English a year ago and hopefully, I'll move to London to do my master in September 2016

 

Kind Regards lads,

 

Dany

Your English is pretty good for someone who started studying it only a year ago!

 

One hint: You look forward TO meeting us (bloody English prepositions are a nightmare!)

^{Welcome, Dany.  Nice story about getting to watch a match.  What the heck are you doing in DR Congo?  Please don't get dengue fever or some other horrible disease while you are there.}

Welcome Dany! Ignore Moi and her English lessons if you want to :-)

I have an interest in DR Congo, as my father used to work in the textile trade there after he left school (it was the Belgian Congo then), so like Philip I'm curious about how an Italian/South African came to live in DR Congo.

Nobody needs to explain how he came to support Chelsea, doesn't everybody :-) ?

Long story short, my family escaped second world war and landed there  . Thanks for the welcoming, I really enjoy browsing and commenting the forum 

Bon voyage, Danyangel!
