I personally beleive that any Blue fathers duty is to instill that Blue = good & red = bad!
I started taking my Joe at 7 or 8 at Maine Road and he admits to this day that it was a scary experience but he's now nearly 16 and is the most ardent Blue and comes with us allover the country!
I'm not catogrising your sons possible option: Its upto you weather he enjoys the experance
He will find his own way, but it is your duty my friend to shield hm from evil and show him the light!!

it's a tricky one him being yor stepson!
i have no experience of this kind of situation but from what i remamber as a kid ( my dad was a Bury fan) and without realising it was steered towards the red side!
I totally rejected it in Nov 1970 when I saw the Blues trash the shit at ot 4-1!!
Maybe the secret nowerdays is to play it softly softly and keep taking him?
I sympathise It can't be easy with external pressures but when you hve the pleasure of having him I'm sure he'lll make the right decision

He doesnt really need shielding from evil - its actually my stepson, and his dad is a blackburn fan - and his only criteria is that I donty take him to U***d.
The eldest lad (8) he has a season ticket but "thinks" he supports blackburn (when he is not wearing his tevez shirt that he has to hide from his dad). His dad got free tickets to Blackeye this weekend and what winds me up is that the tight cunt would never proactively buy his son tickets to watch the the team he wants him to support - although funnily enough he was a season ticket holder when blackburn won the league and has been 3 times in 15 years since.
The wanker would never think of taking his 5 yrs old son which really gets on my tits, although he took his eldest at that age, he just doesnt seem to be bothered about the little feller. Its almost as if the little one doesnt exist when it comes to football. He has never been to a match. Tomorrow, he is getting the full club shop treatment, shirt name, the fucking lot
So, should the judas (8yr old) son go fuck himself and I carry on taking the impressionable one until he proves trustworthy
Am I being too harsh?

My little lad is 4 and today will be attending his 4th game right now he is sat on the sofa asking repeatedly are we goin now. He was never given a choice I just went to the registry office and named him Shaun Goater Jones. That's it job done no choice for him.
But more importantly he loves the footie and the whole day out he has with his dad and mates just like I did wen I was his age.

Nice touch with your lads name there! How is Piccs, I haven't seen him on here for a while?

So - when he grows up:
will he be the type that thinks its ok to be shit and be happy that we are "competing" for a cup
will he be the type that expects to win the league every year and tell everyone about how good we are and how your team are shit
will he be the type that just accepts that you win some you lose some
will he be the type that thinks we should be up there each year, not every year and whoever wins, fair play to them
can anyone do a poll? Its an interesting question as to what the board want now
