But I am building a link in their brains between football and getting loads of sweets so I reckon Im onto a winner. In 20 years time they'll be regulars at the county ground. And have no teeth.
It works. I'm the eldest, so was taken out to the County Ground first when I was about 7 knowing nothing about football other than the fact my dad was always watching it or playing it. 28 years later I'm still there!
I've just tested my 7 year old by asking him who his favourite football team is and he looked at me incredulously and without hesitation said 'Swindon, why'? When I mentioned that he also likes Arsenal (courtesy of my husband) he said 'Yes, but I live in Swindon and you and Grandad support them and I get to watch them every week. I only see Arsenal on television'. Good lad!
He also prefers wearing his Swindon kits training rather than his Arsenal one. In the minority there of course.
