The team that your children support ?

We moved down south when I was young and my brother and I were the only Forest fans at our school. Now my two are the same although I did feel a bit guilty before this season I must admit. Saying that though their other, more local, options are Watford, Luton and possibly QPR so they're not suffering. If they chose to support them I'm fine with that, they're not supporting Spurs or Arsenal though!

That scheme where your child turns 7 and gets a free shirt and two tickets is useful when it comes to brainwashi....I mean taking the youngsters along. My daughter went last year and son will be going in a couple so that'll do the job.

and kids for a quid helps fill the pink seats

I think it's a sad situation when someone supports another team other than their home town...would they support another country? Thought not! So what's the difference? Glorified glory hunters! My lad has forest firmly in his DNA! Win or lose! Though my brother split from his then girlfriend when was pregnant has now brought his son as a Direby fan! Oh how l laugh!!

I don't have any kids - don't worry, I'm 23, got a while yet - but it's good reading all these stories of getting your children involved in football.
I'll take note of any tips for years down the line to stop denim junior from supporting tomorrow's heavy weight sides; City of Manchester Union, or North London RedSpurs.

Late daddy me, but both my girls have grown up wearing Derby bibs <monday to sunday> baby grows with Rams and dresses with simalar and first animal noise being baa

Never one to distinguish between most clubs they cleaned their little Bots and Mine with Red loo Roll

Igor - how sad you are.

I initially paid the price for my belief in astrology - my daughter was born an Aries and decided to support Derby!

When they got 11 points she had a rethink and (for no obvious reason) plumped for Southampton. That's fine by me. Good to have room for debate, but wouldn't be good for her to be a football Ram.

My daughter is not hugely into football but still has a Forest top and enjoys coming down with my to the CG occasionally.
My brother in law is a fanatical sheep, however when his son began to get into playing football (and I add had not yet began to follow any team) he bought him his first football kit - Liverpool. A Derby fan, from Derby who open admits he wants his son to support Liverpool, whatever our views are on Derby I'm sure most fans would struggle to understand this.

By the way the last post is not a joke or a dig at Derby as I can fully understand a supporter of any team trying to get their kids to follow the same team, no matter what division or how good / bad they are.
