At the end of the 2017/18 season, I'd only managed to get my sons to a handful of home games, as and when finances allowed alongside the joys of working alternate weekends, much to my eldest sons disappointment, although he understood (My eldest is 6 years old now and my youngest is 3). Week in, week out he'd ask me if Cov were playing at home, and if they were, could we go. Numerous times I had to let him down and it was really disheartening to see the sadness hit him if I couldn't afford to or was working.
In the February of that season, myself and the children's mum broke up, meaning I moved out of the family home. Money was tight, rent and bills had to be paid and so my hours went up where available. During the summer, my sons excitement for the start of this season was leading me to dread it because I knew I wouldn't be able to get him or his brother to very many games if any.
That's when I saw MildManneredJanitor's post regarding helping fellow CCFC fans. On a whim, I posted about my situation and my sons passion for the club. A short time later, I was contacted by MMJ who offered me and both of my sons full season tickets. I was completely gobsmacked yet elated. I kept the whole thing a secret from my kids, and when the post came with the season tickets, I just threw Harry (my eldest) his letter saying it was for him and I didn't know what it was. Nothing can explain the feeling when his face lit up as he realised what it was, and then I explained to him that it was you guys who enabled us to have them.
Throughout this season we have attended all but one home game on these tickets, creating massively important memories that I know both my sons and I will treasure for life. So I wanted to say thank you, from me as a Dad, who has been able to enjoy the highs and lows of the season with his children in hugely important father/son time. But also on behalf of my children, who have had an absolutely brilliant 9 months of football, and a wealth of memories to go with it.
To mmj, and everyone who chipped in, thank you so much. No words can express how grateful we are that you provided us with those tickets.
