I bought my lad his first season pass last year when he was 5, I Tried him out with a few friendly games before hand but he's great, he loves it.
From what I'm told, I couldn't sit still for 5 minutes either. Apparently I used to spend most of every game standing on my chair singing and shouting (mostly at the ref, my favourite chant was always 'the referees a ****er', and I'm told I used to sing it as loud as I could very often even if I was the only one), but that was ok back in them days, and my dad said all the people who used to sit near us thought I was great so it was all good. I could imagine the looks of disgust if a 3 year old did that at the KC now.
He did make me proud the other week when we went shopping in Leeds and he shouted at the top of his voice "I hate dirty Leeds, I love the Tigers"
Apparently I used to take a copy of The Beano or The Dandy with me, as I had a rather short attention span. (Makes me wish now that I'd savoured my times stood in the Kempton more )
No-body is going to beat this. I went to Boothfery park in my uncles dumper truck when they were knocking down air raid shelters and taking the rubble to Boothferry park to build up bunkers hill on the south side of the ground. I think it was at the end of 1945, I would be 13years old. My first match was Blackburn Rovers in 1946, 3rd round of FA cup city lost 3-0
My name? You probably know already. I keep forgetting unless I look at the name tab in my jacket. There's lots of names I do remember, Norman Moore, Cliff Chadwick, Jack Taylor, Willie Buchan, Harold Meens and Tom Berry etc, all from the late 40's early 50's, good memories too. 55019 crowd at B/Park aganst Man U we lost 1.0. Right up to last home match but I forget who we were playing.
Thought you were saying that you forgot who Hull City played in their last home match at Boothferry Park, Charles. That was the reason for my comment and nothing to do with Manchester United.
