It's a funny old game - and those associated with it

Last night I was talking on the phone to my son in Bournemouth. Neither of my sons have the slightest interest in football. Out of the blue, my 43 year old son asked me if I was still going to see Staines Town. Not at the moment I answered, as we are locked out, but as soon as the gates are opened I will be there. He asked me if I knew a former schoolmate of his from Bishop Wand days. I said I didn't but would look him out on our return. I said he really helps with the IT (including this forum) and recently posted a wonderful montage of our "historic" matches. Take a bow Wakes -your support of the Swans is getting through to my son - more than my own influence

However, I ws trying to get Ben to a football match at Wheatsheaf Park ...... by inviting his daughter, via Dad, to be a mascot (Maisie is 10). This Ould involve him coming up and coming to a match. However, at present he is telling me this is a no no. I will keep on working on it! Take care
