most posts on this thread would beg to differ
Then perhaps you'd like to meet my 8 year old. Hates the premiership, adores the Albion.
Perhaps you're not bullying your children enough.
We talk so much about encouraging youngsters to the Albion and how we have lost generations of kids.
Let me tell you about my grandson. He was an avid young Man U fan at 8 years old. Every present you had to buy him was something to do with Man U.
Why when his family are Albion through and through? At 8 years old I could not get a ticket for him at Withdean, so the only football he watched was on TV, hence his becoming a Man U fan.
The numbers started to drop at Withdean and I was able for the last three years to get him a season ticket next to mine. Everything was great for him, into the cupboards went all the Man U gear. Everything is now blue and white and he could not wait to go to games with me. Since Christmas I have noticed that he keeps saying to me " Oh granddad this is so boring, can we leave now".
Now he is saying he is not sure he wants to go to games and if he does go he now takes one of these blasted pocket pc games with him.
He would leap about, shout and scream encouragement for the team up until Christmas. He is now showing more interest in Man U again and I find this so sad. But it does demonstrate to me just how badly we have declined recently.
No to be fair when i went as a kid i would get bored but if hes into his football enough he will stick with it! and at the end of the day its not all about the football when your a kid surley its more about the day out?
Maybe actually better on the whole if everybody's grandkids stopped going to Withdean. Seriously. Could actually be better to keep them away and not risk putting them off the Albion for life, cos all things considered Withdean is a pretty negative experience for grown-ups. Must be ten times worse for kids. Maybe wait two years before taking them. They'll only be two years older and Falmer will presumably be full of all good things to keep grandkids hooked, including exciting footballing atmosphere, a roof, proper foodstuffs, the dreaded facepainting etc etc. Valid thought? Or just bollocks?
Also ..... Gully's Girls... grown-up, and with bigger pom-poms.... just imagine......

I Have A Friend Who Takes His Son To Reading FC These Days. It's Fairly Cheap For A Premiership Ground, And His Son ALWAYS Insists On A HotDog Or A McDonalds From Inside The Ground. Perhaps If We Had A McDonalds We'd Have More Kids Wanting To Come. There Is Nothing Else Wrong With The Ground. At Least You Can Hear Yourself Think. And Afterall, If Your Manager Is So Stupid That He Ships Out The Crown Jewels And Shows No Variation In His Team Selection, Then Something Else Is Needed To Grab The Attention Of The Kids.
