Buxtongent Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Little anecdote: Whilst doing some gardening in the back in the 1990's in Clowne, I overheard a conversation between Father and Son, who at the time watched American Football: Son; 'Dad , can I have a ManUtd shirt? Dad; 'No, Son. What good would it do. I would never be able to take you Anyway, if you want a shirt, why not get a town shirt (Chesterfield). You could go and watch them!' The conversation carried on for a while, until a voice, mine, rang over the garden wall. Me : 'Why not come with me to Hillsborough on Sat, and we can get a shirt there. You canalso watch the match.' Son; 'Can I, Dad?' Dad; ' If you behave yourself, and if Mr. Hall takes you, you must do everything he tells you.' Son: 'Smashing' The Lad went with me. We travelled to Halfway, parked and got the tram in. We had Fish and Chips outdoors, went down to the Club shop, and purchased his shirt. On his return he ran to his dad, 'Smashing Dad, Can I go again. Brunt's smashing, my favourite!' He proudly wore his shirt to school, and stll goes to this day. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The reason I want us to go up is to get the money and crack on with stadium development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Duran Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 At least he coming into it when we are on the up... I first started taking mine when we were on the decline and culminated to when nearly down from league 1.. (shudders).. Out of the 3 lads.. 2 carried on with us but one fell by the wayside regarding football ! I was upset last season at wembley for them as much as anything else.. seeing the youngest (14) in tears at the end was tough.. Lets hope this year is a happier ending. after promotion against Wycombe Wembley last year with me and there grandad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kante played in all 38 games against you Westwood may see 3 shots from Kante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im honestly sick of him coming home from school having the absolute bobber ripped out of him for supporting WEDNESDAY. Take a wild guess who these little sheep support? Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City etc etc etc. None of which they have ever been to see. I buy him the stuff (bag, pencil case etc) and all he gets is "they are crap" "support someone good" he's only 7 and fair play to him he still wants to come to every game we go too. We live a fair way away now so none of his mates are owls BUT WE STILL GO to games. If We go up, I hope it will show these these stupid kids what I already know "WE ARE ON OUR WAY" and are a great side and have a wonderful future. Stick with us my boy I've always had same problem with my lad,he's been going to Hillsborough since he was 4 and had loads of grief. He's 11 now and tells them to roger off!!!

And everyday whenever people start talking about football all they say to me is "Wednesday are sh*t". It winds me up so much, we've got more history than city and more people around the world will know who we are ( because we're massive) and just because we don't have oil money doesn't mean we're sh*t. Heard that everyday at school since I was about 8. Errrr... Someone should probably break it to this kid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
