    The sun is out, weather good, thought I'd ease him in rather than go straight for the awful Tuesday night in freezing February affair. Hopefully he'll enjoy it, I'm looking forward to seeing his face when he goes in the ground.

    How old Tony?
    My eldest I took when she was six. (She still loves SAFC but puts her own kids and family first.)
    My older boy was 8 years old when I first took him. (He is now 22 and has no interest in football. Where did I go wrong??)
    My younger son again took when six. (Absolutely fanatical on SAFC at 17 and hasn't missed a match apart from a couple since his first game. :) )

    He's 5 going to be 6 next month, might be a little young but I thought I'd see how he gets on. He loves playing but I'll be taking his DS, if it's anything like Norwich there may be a fight over the DS lol!

    He could solve the striker problem, he's quick and got a good finish! He goes round me easily, however I havn't kicked him up a height yet!

    I took my boy to his first when he was four.

    He caught the bug straight away although he has the attention span of a Mayfly.

    A lifetime of misery heaped upon another innocent bairn.

    Billy you have to share the misery, you know that, I think that's why my Dad's keen to go too, he must have enjoyed seeing my hopes fade so much he wants to see anothers dreams dashed.haha

    After today the boys life will never be the same, he'll be hooked for ever.
    My Dad took me to see SAFC v Huddersfield in the mid 60s , and that was the beginning of a life long love affair with the club.
