This is a common thing I suspect but thought it might be interesting to get a range of opinions. Sorry if this is more netmum territory :-)
I have a six year old son who is fairly indifferent about football, although he does play at school and separately once a week. He watched the England games over the summer but has a short attention span (30 mins) like most of his age.
He has a Col U shirt and has been nudged in the ways of Col U gently thus far.
I thought I would finally break his Col U duck and take him to the Sutton game on Saturday.
Having broached the subject - initial enthusiasm, then changed his mind, then incentivised with the promise of sweets, burger, fizzy pop etc. I feel like the fact he gets in free minimises my potential losses on the day, and we can bluff our way through this one game.
This raises a few questions though:
1 - Is it bad form for them to use a tablet/phone whilst the game is going on
2 - How to make him feel a bit more invested in Col U so they become "his" Team
3 - If the game is terrible/we lose/cold weather i.e. a fairly depressing experience, have I then broken him and missed the chance of any future repeats
Thoughts welcome!
