Following on from where and why

[Jamiesfuturewife]

My two Godsons are NAGGING me to come now - Harry is 7 1/2 and Woody is 6 - Im not sure though if they think I PLAY football? so I think they may be dissapointed when they get there and wont sit down

They both have Swindon shirts and stuff though

[janaage]

My niece lives out in Cyprus but I've already sown the seeds of Swindon Town into her very soul.  She likes singing the song

"Swin-don yeah yeah yeah" which she wrote herself.

The day my nephew was born I went out and bought them both Swindon Kits, so although I have a feeling he won't be that into football I'm gonna try my best to make sure Town are his side.

They're moving back in the summer so next season I hope my niece will be a mascot at the CG!!!  14 Feb is a Saturday so I hopefully will be able to do it for the day!!

My oldest nephew has been on a few occassions, some of which he actually asked if I could take him. He says he supports Manchester United, but we're working on him... When he's old enough he's coming in the town end with me.

Other nephew lives in Portsmouth and has no interest in football. My 2 neices are 1 and 2, so far too young to determine (although the younger has a full Manchester United kit thanks to her father!).

Me and my mum are the only ones that really support Swindon tbh, neither my brother, sister or their partners do. Suppose you could say my dad does too but he never goes!!!

Isn't your nephew having trials with Arsenal, Tails?

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

I think my missus might be pregent if that is the case my spawn will be at the cg whilst still in the womb and then once it's out it will be going from the age of two. Already agreed.

I'll be taking my 6-year-old to her first match later this season. I need to get in there quick, as my brother-in-law is trying to persuade her that Man Utd should be her team (he, being from west Dorset, is obviously a Man U fan). And I'm not having that - I could accept her following her local team (QPR), but not Man U.

Incidentally, where's the best place in the CG to take a really young kid? Front of the Kingswood or the Arkells?

Not that I know of! He was with Watford but they closed the schools down they were doing unfortunately. He's a cracking player for his age, 11 years old, tall and left footed (he can really hit a ball too, scored about 7 free kicks in one game once!). Unfortunately he seems to find graffiti more interesting.. I reckon he could play at a decent level if he set his mind to it.

get him down to Swindon!!!


Dont have kids myself yet, but will be dragging them down to the CG when they do appear. Started taking my partners kids to games. Her daughter came to the forest and northampton games and loved it, her son isnt that into football but we brought him along to the Northampton game and (strangely!!) loved it.

[Power to people]

My nephew's father is a Man U supporter (probably only ever been 2 or 3 times) and buys him the Man U shirt, but I fully intend to bring my nephew to stfc games when he is old enough to sit still and not get bored easily - no nephew of mine is being brought up supporting glory teams.

And when I eventually have kids they will be coming to the CG as well.

[flammableBen]

My Nephew's will probably end up supporting Sheffield Wednesday. I might try and drag him to a few town games when he's older, might be better to save him the painful experience.

I've taken my 7 year old daughter 3 times so far, she generally enjoys the games, although probably not the football, it's more the crowd.

She gave the Boston Manager some lip last season which he found funny and then she got threatened with eviction from the Town End for persistent standing in the hatched areas.

She takes a passing interest but I'm beginning to think it's like my wife, more to check what mood I might be in.

Havent got any kids, but I'm the only Town fan in a family of Stoke, Port Vale and Manchester City supporters.

I was talking to your Dad on Tuesday and I'm sure he said he was having trials at Arsenal.

I intend to take my little girl (7 months) to the CG as soon as she is (a) big enough and (b) able to sit still for 1 1/2 hours.

Also helping a mate who is a Swindon fan, but his missus supports Pompey, so just keep talking about Swindon to their lad in the vain hope that he does not become a Pompey fan.

[Tails]

Ah maybe he is then Sam.

Would wind his dad up a treat being a huge Manure fan!
