The start of a lifetimes obsession?

Postby torchomatic »

Today me and my dad will be taking my four year old son for his first match.

Will it be the start of a lifelong love of the City or will he dislike it? I can't remember my first match back in 1972 but I'm hoping with photos and video of the day he'll realise that watching your team play is something very special.
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.

I hope you have a great time. I'm sure that he will love every minute and become hooked. That means that you will have condemmed him to a lifetime of hope, elation and despair.

Hope you had a fantastic time!

I remember my Dad taking me to my first game, ironically the 5-4 vs Forest in the Rumbelows LC.
Oh how quickly I realised not every City game was like that.
What's E.T. short for? 'Cos he's got little legs.

Hopefully little "flashlight" enjoyed it and I can look forward to the Torchy dynasty attacking me in a pincer movement in a couple of years! :D
