Another man buying your son a Chelsea shirt instead of LCFC

[Bluetintedspecs]

Give your son the full matchday experience and I'm sure he'll soon be hooked with REAL experience not plastic supporting! I would also just ignore the Chelsea shirt thing and once he's been to KP things will be good

[Spudulike]

I would be devastated if my son wore a shirt of any other club (and his Grandad would've disowned me!).

Do they still do the Junior Fox Cubs ?? Get him enrolled and get his name down to be a mascot. Take him on a stadium tour and promise him that you'll take him to see a real match if he's good. Next time you see him have a little present for him like a Filbert Fox cuddly toy or something and tell him that he'll be able to see the real one soon. Write or email the club and explain the predicament, perhaps they might send him something ??

Good luck. If you get this right not only will he be a City fan but he'll be your mate for life.

I'd chin him. And I'd also chin the stepdad.

There's always this option

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

This is wrong but I think you should just take your son to a few Leicester games - he'll soon wise up.

As a young kid I'm disgusted to admit I was a Man-fister United "fan" - a few friends were at the time and I thought nothing of supporting the team that was winning all the time. Then when I was about 7, my mum took me to a few Family Night Football matches and I never looked back. The atmosphere of being at your ground, watching your team - it's unmatched - I realised I had no connection with United and quickly sold my prized 3rd kit (complete, with Palister's name/number on reverse) to a mate for about a quarter of the price I'd paid for it a month beforehand.

Your child will be too young to understand this man is in the wrong (even if he was genuinely trying to do something nice) so kicking off won't solve anything. I think what'd be best would be:

- take your son to a few matches at the start of the season

- buy him his favourite lunch each time, so he associates having a fantastic Saturday with LCFC

- buy him a Leicester kit

- explain to him why Chelsea isn't his team, then suggest that you will sell his kit, and put the money you get back for it towards a new toy/bicycle (etc) he wants.

Then, after he realises he couldn't care less about Chelsea, and the step-fag finds out about the GOOD brainwashing and goes mental, you'll look like a great dad. Go with it!

[Kitchandro]

Tell him that wearing a chelsea shirt gives you a contagious disease

I like this one

Or you could say something like 'If you wear that Chelsea shirt Filbert the Fox will come into your room at night and eat you in your sleep'. He is 5 after all, so use your imagination.

I got my dad to buy me a couple of Arsenal shirts when I was about 8 if that makes you feel any better (and that's when City were good). So all is far from lost

Seriously though, this guy sounds like one of those smug stepdads in films who desperately tries to bond with the son and rub the father's nose in it, but ultimately fails. He's a villain I tells ya.

Shopping list:

Cooking oil

Matches

Chelsea FC adult home shirt

LCFC child's home shirt

A smartphone with internet access

The plan:

Christmas day, you invite the ex, her partner and your child round for Christmas dinner. When they arrive you first of all you give the ex's partner the new Chelsea shirt which he is pleased with and thinks to himself what a great guy you are. You then turn around to your son and hand him his new LCFC shirt with his name on which he is delighted at, runs up to you and gives you a hug, followed by 'Thank you daddy'. After lots of mingling, you go to put on the dinner and ask the ex's partner to give you a hand - he duly obliges. When in the kitchen and back is turned throw the cooking oil over his Chelsea shirt and strike a match. The Chelsea shirt goes up in flames and you blame it him being too close to the stove. He throws the Chelsea shirt in the bin as it is now ruined. Your son see's he is not wearing his Chelsea shirt around the table and soon realises that Chelsea can't be that great if he's thrown it away. Thus leading to doubts on supporting them. To top it off after dinner is done with, you get out your smartphone, direct yourself to the LCFC website and order 2 tickets for boxing day and a trip up to Hull with his dad.

- And so another Leicester City fan is born.

[Deucalion]

If I were you I would resist the urge to stab the other bloke, no matter how much you want to.

I can understand why you are angry. Instead of your son claiming his birthright as a Leicester fan he is being led down the path of dishonour by a glory boy. I also suspect it is a deliberate attempt to wind you up.

As it is an attempt to wind you up, the best advice is probably to do the opposite.

[KFS]

I'd chin him. And I'd also chin the stepdad.

Oh my god, too funny!

[Father Ted]

Show him youtube videos of Hossein Kaebi dominating Figo and tell him he once played for Leicester. WE ARE MASSIVE.

[Danny the Fox 95]

Take him to the KP, spoil him. Take him to some away games if you can, meeting the players before the game, and he'll then experience the LCFC atmosphere. And then the decision will be easy to make

[BstarFox]

im not going to lie i was a chelsea fan until i was 6 as my old step dad was a chelsea fan but then him and my mother split up and i become a leicester fan really didnt really know much back then as i was young but.. yeah ive now be supporting city for 12 years, the advantage is you will be able to take him to loads of leicester games and get to know alot of leicester fans while as chelsea is all the way in london and wont be able to attend as many matches

[1964FOX]

This is just wrong, the OP has every right to be furious with the step dad but as others have said ensure your son does not pick up on this and take him to real games and that should beat the sky sports season ticket holding step dad.

[Iwan is a Welshman]

There's no other way round it. This man's going to be constant thorn in your side.

Kill him.

[THEBIGJOHNSTEADER;]

I'd at least kick him in the cock. The man, not your son

[Vlad the Fox]

I don't acknowledge the existence of any other club in front of my kids until they claim there Leicester fans. The eldest started asking questions about derby when watching the goals last season so I told him they steal toys and hurt santa. He already hates forest, I boo when they are on the news and tell him similar horror stories about them.

As for your dilemma take him to as many games as you can, I took my boys when they were 4 and 3 and they want to go every game now. This chelsea glory twat will never be arsed to take your son so let you him paint and use felt tips when wearing the shirt as well as eating tomato soup and pasta sauces.

tell hin to fcuk right off. burn that shirt after using it as bog roll.

then take him to an away game with the lads. best way to learn to love leicester. day out bit of an adventure. he'll love it. i did.

[Danno]

I was a Forest fan until I was 10, didn't like Leicester and my neighbour took me to all the Forest games but my Dad took me to a cup game and I really enjoyed it. I've been suffering for years since then.

[Mark_w]

You can't change teams when your 10 ever, that's ridiculous.

[FrankieADZ]

You can't change teams when your 10 ever, that's ridiculous.

i agree

[body102]

show him video's of everytime Leicester have beaten Chelsea , then say ' see son Leicester are by far the better team '

[Dan]

If he knew you had plans to take him to Leicester then this is absolutely appalling behaviour.

I mean it's cringey enough that he's a glory-hunter who backs a joke of a club anyway but to do that is pretty low, I pretty much echo the thoughts of keep taking him, be extremely patient (you might not even need to be) and he'll support Leicester over Chelsea eventually.
