Back in the late 80's I took my lads to a pre season friendly they were about 9 & 6.  The eldest is a lover of sports but the youngest has never been interested in sports.. Half way through the first half the youngest turned to me and said "Which ones are Alty"...

I had a similar experience one time when I took a girlfriend to a match and she asked if it was the team that scored first who wins!

My youngest daughter was about fifteen when we played Witton? in CSC final at The Drill Field. We sat in the stand.
Towards the end it all kicked off with just about every player involved in a punch up. The result of which Chris Sharrat (I think) was sent off.
The presentations were made at the front of the stand directly in front of as. The garbbage ref stood infront of me and I was able to lean over and whisper in his ear
exactly what I thought of him . I should add the whisper could probably have been heard on Northwich train station.
Daughter could not wait to get haome and tell her Mum how brill it was,  the punch up, dad telling the ref, " i am coming to more games" she said and got a season ticket the next season.
I did assure her all games did not kick off like that one, but after one season she lost interest.

Took one of my granddaughters (She was 4 at the time) the other year with Mrs S and myself in our Alty tops. At half time, she asked when Grandpa was going to play!! (Even I didn't think we were that bad that day!)   

Good job is wasnt last Sat SR. I reckon you would have had a good chance of getting a shout from Lee

If that doesn't deserve a Goodwin, I don't know what does! You should be reported to the NSPCC
