Forget weddings etc............... this is way bigger.
Its going to be a very big day for my little lad!
Its going to be his first match ever this Saturday (if its not too cold), he has only just turned 4.
He is so excited, bless him.
Anyone sat around P58 in the Shriv rd end (its still called that to me), come and say hi to Swindon's newest supporter, Daniel C......... (the little guy with a dark red beany hat).

Marvellous. I hope he enjoys his first game. I can't wait to bring my little lad to the CG, but as he's only just turned 1, he'll have to wait a little longer......

That may ruin the "dont talk to strangers" lesson that kids of that age should be learning. Hope he enjoys his day and that we score loads of goals. |

My lads first game was around the same age. After 5 minutes he wanted to go home and spent the rest of the game moaning and fidgiting and asking if I could take him to the toilet.
Is 2nd game was when he was about 7.

I can still remember taking our little un to his first game, Grimsby at home. His first comment when we got into the ground was "they've got two goals", because on the TV (and in our back garden) you only ever see one  . The other thing he kept asking was "which one is Alan Shearer", because he thought Grimsby were Newcastle Utd. Best thing was that we won 2-0, and if I remember rightly Iffy & George Ndah scored. I'm sure he was about 3yrs old for that, and he's still coming to games |

I hope mini compo enjoys it. Bennett will be the foul-mouthed jewish-looking chap a few rows back.

Took my 2 to the Millwall pre season friendly a couple of years ago.... Both fell asleep in the second half - when we equalised I couldn't stand up as they didn't even have the grace to wake up ! Last time either of them went - I enjoy my Saturdays as my "free time" nowadays |

Took my eldest, Alice, to the southampton game as her first one. At half time she was crying because she was bored and wanted to go home. Had to buy her sweets, chips and a drink and move down towards the pitch to persuade her to stay. Bribery works.
Shes been to one more since then, the wycombe game where we conceded late. That was a test of not swearing in front of her I can tell you.
She now had a Nintendo DS so I may be able to take her again!

My younger son made his debut aged 9 v Stevenage in the infamous cup game, not surprisingly he was in no hurry to come back.
About 5 years later, circumstances meant a Boxing Day trip to Rushden....we were terrible, he's clearly a Jonah...

Hope the little fella enjoys it.
Big day for us as well - it's my 8-year-old daughter's first trip to the County Ground (took her to Fulham and she loved it so much she wants to go again). I take it there's still a family section in the Arkell's?
Just hope it's not too cold and the game's not too dull!

Hope the little fella has a great day out. I have recurring nightmares that my two (both much too young to go yet) will end up supporting Chelsea despite my best efforts at indoctrination. Any hints you could pass down would be welcome.
