BCFC Rich Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Great post, however winning at home is now intrinsically linked with you being there! So you will have to go to every remaining home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope our new lucky mascot gets back to watch a game soon. If I knew what you looked like I’ll buy you some Haribos at Blackburn 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my sons 8th birthday, and despite the win-less streak at home I took a punt and got us some tickets for a very early start's drive to Bristol so he could experience his first ever game. He has the shirts and despite him living 3 hours away from Bristol and 4 hours away from me, he's grown up with Bristol City in his heart and we have watched all the sky/robins tv and highlights together etc. A trip to the club shop first so he could spend some of his birthday money, then a walk up the steps for his first experience of the ground... As kick off approached he was in awe of the experience, loving every moment. When Barnsley scored this upset him, and I feared the worst, but then us scoring twice literally had him crying tears of joy, it was just epic! A special thanks at this point to the two guys sat directly next to us who returned at half time with a bag of sweets for him because seeing the ups & downs of joy on his face apparently made their day! Also the guys in the rows behind us and in-front of us who all helped him feel at home and make his first match experience so special. Hearing him join in with the "Red Army" chants in the last 15-20mins, then the joy on his face at the final whistle, with a few verses of "Drink up thy cider".. it was all smiles. A monumental "best day ever" day in his eyes, and a very emotional monumental day in my eyes which took me back to my first game way back in 1990. So it's a thank-you to all the fans for the atmosphere, a thank-you to the guys around us in the Lansdown block W16 who made his first game so special, and it's a thank-you to the team for breaking the home-jinx! COYR. The only thing now is he's even more hooked and wants to go every week! My uncle took me to my first game when I was about the same age as your boy, I fear he is in for the same roller coaster ride as I have been on for the last 57 years, but you know what I wouldn't change a thing, and I hope when he is my age he looks back and has as many fond memories as I have, just as I'm glad my uncle took me all those years ago I'm sure your boy will thank you as well. maybe though occasionally through gritted teeth :laugh:.
