A Dilema

When you are a parent, how much nudging or persuading is acceptable?? This is the question, as a proud Sheffield Wednesday fan, i noticed , and been counting down the days till the new shirt is released (july 18th if Lotto can deliver ),

Last season I bought Darcypops her first Wednesday shirt, which ok she did not have much say in the matter, but now when i wear mine, she points and says owl !! "that's my girl "

But do i try to get her to follow the team of MY choice, or incourage her to follow her own, if football at all !! Nick Hornby wrote in Fever Pitch " when you choose your team, choose carefully, because you choose for life " so many kids are startled by the bright lights and lured into following the big 4/5 teams, it is time to show some originality, and individuality !!

So do I buy her the shirt ???

Then of course there is the question of, how old does your child have to be, to take them to their first match ????
