poggypogpog Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 I have been separated from my ex for a number of years now and she's been seeing a fella for a while. I have a son with my ex who turns five in October. From day he was born, I have always said that my son would follow Leicester as it is his local team and it is the team I have supported since I was a boy. I've always said that once my son was old enough to choose a team I'd let him pick (so long as it wasn't Florist or Direby). It was always my intention that this season, I would take my boy to his first city match. We'd make a day of it and he'd be bought a kit, scarf, hotdog and sweets etc before going into the game and we'd make a real day of it so he'd want to go back again. It was my mum who got me into the City and I've always been looking forward to doing this with my boy. I have today discovered that my ex-partners fella has bought my son a Chelsea strip (this fella supports Chelsea despite being from Leicester) and has had him down the park wearing this strip with photos being taken etc. I have flipped my nut at this and had a massive rant about the fact that following a football team is something passed from father to son etc. I just wondered what other peoples thoughts were? Am I right or wrong to be so angry about this? Cheers

Cheers The bloke sounds like a complete willy puller in my opinion, but my advice to you (probably wrong ) would be to be the better man and don't let it bother you and let your son make his own mind up. Do your best to take him to as many Leicester matches as possible and in time in the long run his heart will then choose to support Leicester anyway. Any kid will end up wearing a new football shirt regardless of who it is or who buys it for them so don't take it too personally if he wears this crap he's bought. When I was a kid I used to be a massive Man Utd fan like all the other kids but my dad never had a problem with it and used to always take me to watch Leicester and in the long term I had far more reasons to support Leicester (Although I think all the Play Off finals and League Cup finals probably made it easier back then )
lestajigs Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 I'd be fuming mate, but can you remember that goal beckford scored against Chelsea
I am Rod Hull Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Buy this blokes mum a Leicester shirt, that`ll show him. Or you could just shag her.
blueharmie Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Ruin it. Then buy him an lcfc one to make up for it. Do this before he buys him his new man city kit.
pSinatra Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 To force or to bully anyone into being anything but a Leicester supporter is wrong in every respect. To want your son to be a Leicester fan is perfectly natural & should be encouraged. This other guy should know better than to get involved in something as important as this. Knock his block off
RonnieTodger Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Bastard, can't be easy to see that. At least you can take him to the KP regularly, whereas the other bloke certainly won't be able to take him to watch Chelsea all the time. Hopefully he'll make the right decision
Trav Le Bleu Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 As a Chelsea fan from Leicester, chances are he'll never take your son to an actual game and has little real passion for it. When your son gets the real experience it will all change.
Guest Bilo Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 That's out of order and the kind of thing a stepdad should probably have left well alone. However, if you buy him a Leicester shirt and actually take him to a game where he will experience the atmosphere and excitement of a match in the flesh, he'll surely make the right decision and the Chelsea shirt will be on its way to Oxfam before he knows it.
shade Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 depends on why you split up with her, if you were smashing other women, then fair enough. if it was her fault or a mutual split then it's out or order.

Am I right or wrong to be so angry about this? Cheers I think your wrong to be so angry but I understand where your coming from. As long as your son is happy and your ex-partners fella is making an effort with your son I don't see it as a problem. He's only 5 yrs old and you have plenty of time to change his mind when you take him to games, hopefully he'll fall in love with the whole match day experience with his dad and never look back, that's what usually happens. Him having a Chelsea shirt although it's annoying you I can't see it making much difference if he starts to love going down to the KP Stadium. Getting so angry about it will only cause tension between all parties concerned so I'd just let it slide and enjoy the time you spend with him.
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Get the chelsea shirt and burn it in front of him. And then go on to youtube and show leicester videos of our fans at Chelsea, then he'll see what club he should be supporting!
dpjfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 My sympathies, ive found that once kids get LCFC in thier system they become like us - addicted. Living in Blackpool has its difficulties for me as my 12yo gets so much stick from Kackpool fans/mates for wearing a Leicester kit, Happily for me the club is now in his blood and nothing/nobody will change that.Nothing better than going to the match with your kids

HEGGSY Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 I'd be fuming mate, football is a massive form of communication between father and son. But Bilo and Trav are right.

fleckneymike Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 You've not helped yourself by using comic sans.
Jace Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Remind your son John Terry and Ashley Cole play for Chelsea and they are wankers, that will put him off
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Remind him that Chelsea are small and we are MASSIVE! Chelsea fans don't sing and we do!
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 be happy hes spending money on your kid.. lol ARE YOU SERIOUS? :o
Mark_w Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 You've not helped yourself by using comic sans. The man has been traumatized, he probably doesn't even know what font he's using right now. Have a heart. I think the previous posters are probably right, start taking him to games if you can and he'll soon be a Leicester fan.
