I'm taking my 5yo boy to his first ever match. I wanted to pick the right one. Full crowd and the lights makes it even more special. I think I'm going to get quite emotional.
"What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes.
“It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up the stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him, and without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.”

Might be some explaining to do regarding the team colours. |
Just magic. I remember going into the ground for the first time. The crowds, the smells of food and alcohol. The noise, the anticipation seeing the brightness of the floodlights when you look up the stairwell. The whole place seems enormous. A love that hopefully never ends. |  | | |

I hope it all went to plan, he enjoyed it and is hooked! Glad he saw a win.
I was taken by my grandad and dad at the age of eight more decades ago than seems possible, but those moments of approaching and going into the ground for the very first time are as fresh as yesterday. |  | | |
