Proper football fans - A proud Dad

edited January 2011 in General Charlton
As some of you may or may not know, I have 3 boys all now teenagers, and until 2 seasons ago we all had Season Tickets. Due to a number of reasons, redundancy, loss of interest etc. I had to give them up. My eldest, nearly 17, has been working pre and during Christmas at Bluewater. Anyway he calls me yesterday after the Spurs defeat and says with some of his money, he along with 3 mates are all buying half season tickets for the rest of the season. This makes me very proud, a) because we are in the third tier and b) he has used his own 'hard-earned' to pay. He is also planning his first away day with out me. Hats off to him and his mates, the next generation has arrived. Real football supporters!
Just thought I would share this with you all!

  • great story
  • Very nice to hear, and indeed, proper football supporters!
  • Good lads!

    Obviously well brought up.
  • Great to hear Bibble , i hope they enjoy it!
  • Nice one.

    BTW Bibble I can't the checkout working on your site. Help!
  • Nice one.

    Took my lad yesterday (he is 10 and this was his first away game). Absolutely loved it, not only due to the football but also the atmosphere created by CAFC fans. As we were all standing, he was stood on the seat next to me, with his arm on my shoulder singing throughout. One of those days I will never forget.
  • good to hear it.

    To be honest these days a football ticket is a relative luxury and not an essential so it's nice that he is looking to do this off his own back.

    He is of course going to get bitten by the bug and love the away day travel and be tapping you up for more cash soon
  • There is something special about you children findign their own 'football' group. Then you know you have properly installed that pride.
  • From the opposite point of view:

    I would love to have a dad proud of me at paying out for a season ticket, but thats probably because I come home angry (or on occasion, ecstatic) nearly every week :)
