Suffolk_fox Posted 27 December 2005 Share Posted 27 December 2005 I am taking my 6 year old son Paul to his first City match on New Year's Eve against Norwich. I remember my first match against Liverpool in 1980, when we won 2-0. I hope and pray we do well! When I asked him if he wanted to go, he looked me in the eye with such a serious look on his face and said "I don't want to play, I only want to watch...." Bless him! The fact that his Mum (my ex wife) is a die hard Norwich fan is no pressure at all...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 27 December 2005 Share Posted 27 December 2005 Good luck! Hope you and your son have a good time, but don't count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk_fox Posted 27 December 2005 Author Share Posted 27 December 2005 Thanks Libertine - I hope so too! After my first match, I changed from being a Liverpool fan to a City fan. The last thing I need here in Suffolk is a Norwich fan for a son.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk_fox Posted 27 December 2005 Author Share Posted 27 December 2005 I am unsure where to take him. I think he should be in my usual Kop place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy supporting Liverpool, just like all my mates! Then he asks me if I want to see Liverpool, I say yeah and they get caned. Fickle as your average 8 year old is, I changed sides and have carried the cross ever since. Just hope he doesn't hate me for it! Anyway, there will be three 'Holliday' generations at the game, so that is something to be chuffed about!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfox Posted 28 December 2005 Share Posted 28 December 2005 There's no way he can resent it - for all the life time of crap those moments at Wembley are worth a lifetime of pain. Believe me it's even more painful when your son chooses Arsenal over City - pains me even to admit it. Good luck make sure you fill the day with lots of other treats!!!!!
