Got mine as usual
Season ticket holder with the missus up to last season when we were pretty much priced out of going to watch Walsall. Still quite bitter about it but in all honesty I had stopped enjoying it.
this years is my 40th season ticket

Where have you got them for mate?
I know you were toying with the idea of coming upstairs.
I decided to stay in the lower for now.
I fancied going upstairs, George was up for it, but I took James up there one game and he wasnāt keen. He struggles a bit with change, and I donāt want him to lose the passion he has found for it, so we stuck with the lower.
I donāt really mind either way, there are pros and cons to both. The main thing is we are all there together to me.

Iāll stick to iFollow again for next season. I might get one then year after as my youngest will be 4 then, so I might brave taking her.
Wonāt be renewing now Iāve moved full time to Spain. Will catch 5 or 6 games when Iām over, some home and some away, so not worth it.
Will renew my ifollow ST though which at least contributes a few bob to the club on top of the games I get to attend.
Probably buy a few bits and pieces from the shop in the summer as well

You had a breakthrough with the club then mate?
Kind of, theyāve found a place for me to go but itās not the best but an option at least. Theyāre also looking at streaming the games on the TVs in the hospitality areas although this is TBC. Turns out that thereās limited spaces in the 1888 lounge so the club really could have just told me ok well thereās someone else to take your place with no guarantee Iād get it back if I wanted.
Sheāll be 3 by the time the season starts so will improve over the season Iād imagine going outside and I dunno just felt taking a year out when itās the only time I spend with my parents would be cutting my nose to spite my face kind of thing. If that makes senseā¦

Iām glad you have found a way. I know I donāt really know you, even though we met briefly at the end of last season. You kind of get to know people on here though, I felt a bit sad when you said you werenāt going to be going anymore.
I hope it all works out for you.

Thanks mate, yeah same about people on here. It was my first away day this season yesterday went with 70 odd people from the 1888 and Iāve made some good friends in there, itās become a social thing now more than the game. Really got the away day bug back yesterday.
Really want to go regularly when my daughter is old enough and if she wants to do the aways. Saw a kid egging on the crowd yesterday and thought it was wicked, would love her to get as invested and travel the country with her Dad as I did with mine.

Iām sure it will happen, mate.
My advice would be if it feels like it isnāt working out, donāt push too hard but donāt give up permanently. . I didnāt take my boys until they were 4 and I had to take a break with both of them because it was too soon. Iām not saying 4 is too soon, it just was for them, especially my oldest, who has ADHD.
It worked well with them, they are both super keen now. I feel bad we havenāt been to more away games this season but the money side of things has made it difficult. Hopefully, things will be better in that respect soon and we can start going away on a regular basis again. They were both out of their seats at MK singing all the songs, our George is even brave enough to start songs off now!
From my own experiences, when I started going I just wanted to be with my Dad and like him and it grew from there. It means different things to different people but it is more than just watching a football match, I think we all know that.

Love to hear that and stories you tell on here about your lads. Iāll take heed of the advice, will be a while yet before the day comes around but no doubt it go quick!
I wasnāt trying to tell you what to do, I have no doubt you know what you are doing. I just know from the experience it was very disheartening when the boys didnāt take to it and it would have been easy to give up.
I really wanted them to experience what I had with my Dad. My Dad was a great man, he brought me and my Brother up on his own from when we were quite young, and I still live my life the way he taught me, but honestly, when I think of him I think of our days following Walsall, thatās how powerful it is.
