I'm moving to Dubai for at least 6 months to try and get a job as an Analyst within any major organisation. I've looked through most recruitment sites etc but it's been difficult to get any interest so far. Does anyone know any site or the best way to get work over there? I've given my season ticket to a friend but would also like info on how I can keep up to date with matches etc. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers Sam        Report

A lot of the members are spread all over Dubai so many struggle to make it down to Garhoud because of the nightmare traffic but you should try and get yourself down. There will always be a few in to watch the games (especially the infamous Grant "Jakey" Douglas as he actually lives in Biggles!!! .  Games seem to be getting more frequently shown nowadays on Arab tv stations. As for work, then im afraid I cant help you with that situation but you could always try on british expats.com as they have a devoted site to the UAE and a Q & A section with regards to work. Hope that helps a little. Stu    Report

Good luck, hope you find something.    Report
