Have you ever had to change a family member's mind , from supporting another team ie Man Utd ,Liverpool, Chelsea ,Arsenal etc ??? rather than following CCFC ???
Sorry Pete , I mean more in context of you, I assume being a CCFC fan , having to change a family member's mind , to ensure they follow CCFC ?Yep my lad has had to stand his ground at school on many occasions. Strong city fan which is great
At least it wasn't Gilbert's book, now that would have been a family feud.Daughter put a villa book in the trolley for a joke once! Thought it was hilarious.
Even more worrying is her school is all about netball and hockey, won't be long until a netball team is sending tickets home. Already seen a rugger bugger there in a wasps hat.
"Hello, is that the adoption agency?"At least it wasn't Gilbert's book, now that would have been a family feud.
I have allowed my older lads to support their local sides. But their best games were at HR. Preferred them to any game watching their own sides. One even kept up with his season ticket when they dropped out of the league. He could have continued to go to CCFC games with me that he admits is much more fun.Have you ever had to change a family member's mind , from supporting another team ie Man Utd ,Liverpool, Chelsea ,Arsenal etc ??? rather than following CCFC ???
I suppose with the choice of CCFC or BCFC it's almost a gift from the GodsI'm a brummy but my bro lives in Coventry & his young lad has often been dragged to go watch Blues with my bro in the hope that he might grow up supporting that rabble
He's got the hint now that my nephew's not really into footy that much...it's a good job really cuz the young kid's always said that his local team's,quite rightly,Cov anyway...haha

Going slightly off the thread a little when I was a kid I wore my City kit with pride. I'd play over the local fields and pretend to be Hudson or Rees while other kids were Best or Law. My dad brought me up as a City fan and I've done the same with my sons. I walk through the city centre and see lots of people wearing Celtic,Chelsea,Man Utd,Arsenal,and even Barcelona shirts,and have had strange looks because I've got a Cov top on and not a Premier League one. Fuck em I love my club and always will.
Fully get this . although I no longer live in the city. always have a cov top on at some point during the day. have had to defend the badges honour on a few occasions too. #PUSBGoing slightly off the thread a little when I was a kid I wore my City kit with pride.

Damn fine parenting sir !I have twin boys both of which have been brought up the correct sky blue way until they became mates with an older lad up the road who is a scouser. Unfortunately one of the boys got his head turned and he did start following the "pool" for a short while although thankfully not for long and he soon returned to the SBA. He did pay a penalty for his turning to the red side as he missed our trip to Old Trafford in the league cupsomething he regrets and we remind him off when necessary.
My son and nephew are City through and through even though they weren't born In the area,Going slightly off the thread a little when I was a kid I wore my City kit with pride.

My son and nephew are City through and through even though they weren't born In the area,
me and my brother started taking them when they were young, it's this that gets them hooked.
Through all the shit the club has gone through, this is one of my major concerns.
We have lost and are losing thousands of potential fans, fans that are the very
Future of this club.
He would have been 5, took my daughter early last season when she was just 4, she Did her best to showWhat age did you first take your Son to a game if you don't mind me asking?

her enthusiasm for me and her big brother, but couldn't hide her Disappointment when we told her at HT
