Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've recently been learning my oldest son who will be 4 in March about Newcastle landmarks and he knows them all. Today he saw a picture of St. James' Park at school (sports theme day) and when I picked him up he said to me he wants to go there to see Newcastle play. His first and only ever football game was a Gateshead match a few weeks back, which he really enjoyed. I have vowed never to set foot inside SJP again until Ashley goes or unless I'm there to protest. My last two games were Cardiff at home and then Hull, both to protest against Pardew. Before that it was the 6-1 vs Villa and the 5-1 vs the mackems and a few other randoms, along with Ben Arfa super show against Blackburn in the cup and Bolton at home. I went to about 15 matches home and away during the Championship season which I loved more than any other season since Sir Bobby. I do miss Newcastle United, badly and I'd love for my son (both sons) to go to Toon games, but this NUFC is nothing like the one I fell in love with and never will be until Ashley goes. I have of course drummed into him Toon songs like Toon Toon black and white army, we are the Geordies etc. and he loves singing them. I'm tempted to take him like, just so he can be in awe of SJP and that lush green turf and the notion of football if not exactly Ashley's version and the PL's version of NUFC/the game! Torn!

Guest palnese Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Do it. It's not for you, you're doing it for him. I can't stand the club either, but my lad will support the Toon. End of story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'd take him, everything that's wrong with the club won't mean anything to him yet and he'll only consume the best bits. Plus, there may be a future without Ashley and you'll have done your lad a massive favour in the long-run by locking him in at this stage. I'm eternally grateful for my Dad for getting me into NUFC - even in spite of the fact we never won anything. The allegiance to the football club is part of your identity, and that's what really counts. If you take him now - in ten years time he may have an affiliation to a club that isn't a total piece of shit and you'll be glad you did. I've actually thought about this before - literally the only matchgoing NUFC fans I'm completely cool with are those who are taking their kids for the first time. They're the only ones who get a free pass from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It'll not just be one game though will it, that's the dilemma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I know what you mean. But if Ashley fucked off and things 'went back to normal', and I had a young lad aged 8/9/10 who couldn't give a shite about Newcastle, I'd be gutted. I'd probably sell him.

Ketsbaia Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 When things get better - and they eventually will - we'll need the next generation of fans. I'd imagine it never gets old watching a child fall in love with NUFC as he steps into SJP that first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this, take him to one of the games over Christmas or something. I do shit for the daughter all the time that I fucking loathe, and taking her to SJP will be one of them.

newsted Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 All of the above. Take him if he wants to go. He might get scared of the noise and the number of people but you can bail out if so. Grandbairn 2 used to wear Arsenal and Chelsea shirts but when I took him to his first live game he got right into it. God help him. He's got a season ticket now with his mates and there's a parent along. What have I done? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 @lee_ryder ... Just voicing my opinion, that is allowed. My point being that Dummett was as dreadful as the rest of them. GallowgateShots Suggesting somebody is "scared" is goading. Ironic when hiding on social media but hey ho. All the best. @lee_ryder ..... I'm not hiding mate. It's not a personal account. Why would this be about me ? @GallowgateShots You tweeted me. I'm just replying. Getting bored though. Respect other people's opinion and you'll be ok. @lee_ryder I do respect others opinions, I'm just struggling to understand yours. Care to expand on the rating ? @GallowgateShots I already have. Can somebody else not facilitate your attention seeking? @lee_ryder Honestly man, can't even have a decent conversation with you. @GallowgateShots It's a boring conversation at best this. zzz Ryders comments in italic. The whole conversation is just one massive a cringe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
