That for the duration of today, my four year old son, who attended the Sheffield utd game with me, has been parading around the house singing "we want SISU out" and "we love city and we hate SISU"! He made sure he dug out his whistle from his toy box earlier too.


That's my boy

He wasn't the little lad on the pitch was he?

My kids all used to boo the London Wasps flags no they just boo when they see the sign.

Ah yeah, we've not got the school worries yet, thankfully nursery isn't as intense. He does well with a later night to be fair

Told my 12 year old daughter all about it and she nodded and carried on looking at her ipad with head phones in.
But on a brighter note, a photo from last season with my old Dad and my brother plus my nephew. The old fella is 85 next month and still rings every day asking about the City!

Ah lovely photo. This is why it's a shame what's happening at the club. Fans old and new supporting the club in every way they can, then some hedge fund business screwing us for everything we've got. I'm only 24 so I don't remember the glory days, but I do remember filling the stadium when Chelsea visited, and I do just about remember the thrill and atmosphere of Highfield road. Such a shame

My lads 11 loved the night, said the atmosphere was one of the better home games he'd been to in the 3 years he's had a season ticket.
Still thankfully has passion for this club, how long that will last.... in league 2 still I hope

Out of curiosity, have any of the football brains remaining at the club voices their opinions on the protests? Steve ogrizovic for example

First time I have ever heard the words 'brains' and 'Ogrizovic' in the same sentence.

my lad is 12 and has zero passion left for city, in fact the circus from recent years has actually turned him in to a man utd fan (not that he goes but is more interested in their results than ours). Bad parenting I know but he found it quite embarrassing at school when asked who he supported.
I don't think I would ask him to boo at wasps flags or signs though as right now I wish our club was in a similar shape and run in the same way, sad for me to say but unfortunately the way it is right now.
Also with fisher spouting his mouth about city dying at the ricoh I fear wasps next move will be to rip out the seats which just leaves 2 ccfc signs, no doubt wasps are just delaying this to see if the new stadium sponsor has a colour preference or not.

This is the problem, the sky blues legacy is dying and the next generation are all being tempted by attractive football with good foundations. Let's just hope that one day we can do a Bournemouth. Let's remember that 6 years ago they were in a similar position (re: possible liquidation) with collection buckets to keep the club going. Now look at them.

Who knows what could happen should the right opportunity arise

We have the opposite situation. We live in Leicester...son aged 14 born there. He has 4 older sisters who are all grown and live away. Their interest in Leicester city has grown with the miles away and the success last year. But my son is more of a CCFC fan than ever. I have asked him if he wanted a Leicester season ticket and he is adamant he won't. He can't understand anyone 'supporting' a team like Man U or Chelsea if they have never been to their games etc.
He is fully aware that CCFC may go to the wall but has stated he will support Accrington Stanley and we will have to go at least 5 times a year if that happens. But only if the club folds. His mantra is you support a club through the good and bad not glory hunt trophies. Am I proud of him? You bet I am.
I wouldn't let him go on the pitch on Thursday but he was so pleased to see the passion of those that did and with the chanting from the stands. He phoned all his sisters and their husbands after the game and told them to look it up on BBC.

It was usually 'Ogrizovic' and 'picks the ball out of the net'.

I first went up Highfield rd with my dad in 1966. My son first went up the Ricoh with me and his grandad in 2009. We didn't go to sixfields and dad passed away before we returned. We have all known the heartache of supporting city but at least dad had the promotions under JH and the old first division yrs and FA cup. My sons only good times were the first half of last season when we played football that was exciting. Even then his first reaction in the gillingham 4-0 home win was grandad would have loved this.
