I twisted a friend's arm to go yesterday and to take his 6 year old son along on the grounds of the family day and "it's only £12".
On the way to the ground the 6 year old is depressingly chanting "Arsenal, Arsenal" ad nausem. He tells me Southend don't have a proper football team and then as we park up in Prospects he exclaims "That can't be the ground, it looks like a bus garage!". Hhmm, this is not going well I think.
Anyway, I meet up with my friend and his son after the game. The six year old has his face painted, was thrilled with his goodies, didn't stop singing "Southend, Southend" all the way home and was pestering his dad to take him again. He's being signed up for the RBS under sevens go free scheme on Monday
.
Really topped off my day and gave me a warm glow that we've hopefully recruited another Shrimper.
A very big well done to the club for the Family fun day.
