Hope it goes well.

First game I took my son to was a Wolves game. Maybe in a couple of decades or so he will be repaying the favour for me. I hope so.

funny how life is full of coincidence - one of the very last matches I took my old man to was a pre-season friendly v Wolves, Dave Jones was their manager, we were a division below them.

Happy Days - wish he was with me now.

Enjoy fella :thumbup:

Enjoy the game and the very best to you and your family. Football creates a great bond between father and son. I take my 10 year old boy to every home match and we always have a great time (irrespective of the result). It makes memories.

I like stories like this. Sums up what it means to support a football club and the relationships in can foster between friends and more especially families. I very much hope that Father and Son have a special day together.

Just read this thread and again makes you realise what is really important.

Starting taking my boys five years ago and have not missed a game since. Many happy moments that will always be there.

Hope your dad gets more chances to see his club play at the CCS.

All the best fella :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
