Spare a thought!

So my son has signed for a new team, his first participation is to play in a tournament at the ground of Colshite Utd, actually on the pitch. Even at ten years old he understands the rivalry to the extent that he said maybe he shouldn't play!

My question is should I go in my colours? If we go to Colchester Zoo, we wear our colours. But after this weekend am I tempting fate by walking around the Lego structure they call a stadium wearing my colours. As we drove up the M6 on Saturday my hope was, we win and go up, Colshite lose and go down, my dilemma wouldn't be a dilemma. Now I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hmmm tricky one, that. I'd suggest, no colours. Tell him he's on an undercover scouting mission to check out their playing surface. He can report back to PB with an insight into the pitch so that when our warriors play there next season we can stuff them :winking:

Could'nt you rig his kit to feed weedkiller out through his boots as he runs around. Improve the look of the place and all that.

i think you'll be fine. my son grew up here and played for local teams from the age of 6 through to under 18's. He always went to training in his latest Southend shirt, to be honest you saw more Ipswich shirts then Col U shirts. He is now 20, 6 foot 6ins tall and weights about 110 kilos, funny nobody local questions where his loyalty lies!

Exactly that you see far more Ipswich shirts than col ewe there

Wear your shirt with pride, Southend is your team so show it!

Howdie, C & P. Haven't seen you on here in ages. I wonder why ??? :whistling:

Hello SK no not been on here much as you say, not because we have had a poor season I just haven't been posting much on any footy forums for the last year or two. I dropped by saw a few comments about our miracle survival in league one and got slightly hooked again! I have a Southend supporting brother in law so I do take an interest in how you lot get on.

"Post when you're winning, you only post win you're winning"....hence, why we haven't seen you much this season, more like...:winking:

....I do like the sound of your brother-in-law, though. Sounds a decent sort of chap :thumbsup:

Thanks SK:winking: My brother in law is misguided but we accept his faults as long as he keeps them to himself (He never does)
