General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I'm like you tonks, ball games don't excite me at all but, when my youngest was young he wanted to go to every football and rugby game that was on, So I compromised and promise to take him to All the home rugby games and on special days, ( birthday, Christmas etc ) I would take him to Latics as well, So anyrode we was at a Christmas Latics match at the Springfield Park ,They were playing Bristol and Wigan scored a goal, All the Wigan fans were jumping up and down and running about full of excitement and, I'm leaning against a wall totally uninterested and wishing it was hometime when this lad approached me and asked " were thee from laiiiiike" ,, I answered, " Bryn Why ?" Then it occured to me he was thinking I was a Bristol fan because I was't jumping about like a demented looney like all the rest of them, When, next thing Mylad came running over who was, jumping about like a looney and shouting " Dad Dad we're winning yippee and waving his Latics scarf in my face and shouting gerr us a pie from'T burger bar, Which convinced the other clown to go away and get back with his goon mates, I had to put up with taking my lad from the age of 5 to about 15 when he was old enough to go by himself, He also played Rugby ( and still does) from the age of 8 to 18, which involved me, taking him training 3 times a week then the match on a sunday morning, My leisure time was took over for that period of time by football and rugby and that was quite enough for me, I'm well please that I don't have to visit a ground ever again,
