Rams fan Bob Lee finds himself now based in San Diego and is missing his visits to Pride Park.

Bob is planning a trip in 2007 but also has a novel way of showing his support when out on the road, as he explains in his e-mail to us copied in below.

I'm a long-time Rams fan who moved to San Diego just after the infamous 1994 play-offs with Millwall.

Sadly the last Rams game I saw was in July of 1999 when the Rams played USA in Denver, myself and two others made the 3,000-mile round-trip drive to watch my beloved Rams.

As you can see I now have sole rights to this great California plate "DERBY". I am planning to make my first visit to Pride Park in April and eagerly await seeing my long-lost Rams.

I attended many, many games through the 1980s and 90s and was also in the Leicester/Loughborough branch of the supporters club. I was a devout Ossie-ender.

I look forward to once again seeing the best supporters in the world.

Are you a far-flung Rams fan? Do you have a tale to tell from your trip overseas?
