Made that corner look really good for once and bought a bit more atmosphere. Was talking to one of the leaders who said that although it was cheap to get in, the kids were spending a fortune on food and drink and in the club shop. Maybe worth doing a few more days like that, at least to get a few more people in.
Was great having the corner full for a change. Not sure the scout leaders enjoyed it too much though, The kids were running riot before the game. I was sat in front of a group and they'd all bought scarfs. One had a calender and they bought food at half time. Was particulary amsued when 3 lads aged about 11 or 12 started singing ''she said no Marlon, She said no!''. Good move by the club.
My son went with his group, £5 for the day. Lots of activities laid on and he enjoyed every minute, though I must say he's already an avid Sky Blues fan. There were groups from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Birmingham, so the club may even have converted some other kids to the Sky Blues. Then again maybe not !
