Who Should My Son Support?
at 17:40:58

if there is one as close as the Madejski, support your local conference-ish team - he'll be able to go to more games, and other school kids will also potentially support the team - also possibly will have the chance to go to games where they can embarrass premier league sides if they advance in cup games(which is always good).
If he plays football might even have a decent chance of playing for the team one day if he wants.

support ipswich as a second team, but you may struggle to force this unless ipswich get to a playoff or cup final or win a game like 15-0.
He won't thank you if we've dropped a division or two by then, and UEFA cup winners etc. will count for nothing - it was years & years ago! most kids now don't even realise that teams like Ipswich, Leeds, Nottingham Forest etc. were ever top sides.

as a kid i went to wembley for the 2000 playoff final when we got promoted and am consequently stuck with ipswich forever - i haven't lived in east anglia for years and haven't even been to a game in maybe the last 6/7 years but i'm still wearing last years home shirt as i type this & have my play-off champions flag propped up against my wall.

if i hadn't seen this & then seen us 5th in the premiership i don't think i'd support ipswich really - would probably just support England
