Love it. Every single person I've met when I've been over, has treated me like one of their own.
Proud to be associated with you all.

Love this.I took my daughter down there once on her birthday, she was only about 6 or 7. (She’s 17 now). Popped in the 5 Bells before the game. Chatting to a couple of mates in there, dropped in conversation that it was her birthday, one of them bent down and said to her, “is it your birthday sweetheart? Here you go” and gave her a crisp fiver, the other one fished all the change out of his pocket and handed it to her. Her face was was a picture.
She’s smart though my girl. From then on, every time I stopped for a chat with someone, she’d pipe up “it’s my birthday today!!” She came away that day with just short of a hundred quid in fivers, tenners and various coins .
Another time I was going up to the executive boxes with my youngest boy, he was only about 8 or 9. I was walking ahead of him chatting to a mate, noticed he weren’t with us, looked back, and at the top of the stairs he was holding the door open for some old boy who was coming up the stairs. The old boy was taking a while to get to him as he was a bit slow on his feet, as he passed through the door, he thanked my son and gave him a ten pound note, and said to him “good manners should be rewarded”

Nice one. I’m doing the next few home games then winding it down for a bit because I’m off to Thailand in October. Let us know when you’re about and we’ll have a beer.Possibly next month, but no later than October.... hopefully.
Thank you Wippa.... although if truth be told, I'd much prefer the idea of buying you a few in Thailand.Nice one. I’m doing the next few home games then winding it down for a bit because I’m off to Thailand in October. Let us know when you’re about and we’ll have a beer.
AnytimeThank you Wippa.... although if truth be told, I'd much prefer the idea of buying you a few in Thailand.
Great story Wippa but you know the thing that makes me feel really proud is the bit your son waited and held the door open for the old boy.I took my daughter down there once on her birthday, she was only about 6 or 7.
