RLACML Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sounds like it's too late. How old is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sounds like it's too late. How old is he? he is 6, I took him to a sports shop and he wanted a full Leicester strip, I bought him a generic blue kit with boots, shinnies and socks that are huge (we have all been there), he has come to Pride Park with me and was more interested in the pigeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game won't be enough, but when he makes a connection of "Daddy and Derby", it'll mean something to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rezner Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 6 is nothing, my lad wanted to support florest at 6. Then chelsea and whoever else was top of the league. After telling him he wouldn't ever get to see them play or have any football shirts bought for him, like he would if he supported Derby, he soon changed his tune.Getting expensive now mind. But worth it. He's just turned 11 and he's a Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But worth it. He's just turned 11 and he's a Ram. yeah all honesty when I took him last year he was intimidated by the atmosphere. I refused to go into the Leicester store at the ground even though I passed by it the other day, I made the excuse that I have took stick from Leicester fans for a very long time and the only place i'll sit is in the away end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I don't think there's much you can (or should) do at this stage. When I was that age, I followed Man U because all my mates did. As time went on, I listened to my dad & took more of an interest in DCFC. By the time we all about 12, I was Derby through & through and most of my mates were fans of one of the Sheffield clubs.Also depends where you are geographically. Growing up in the peak district & close to Chesterfield, Sheffield and probably as near to Manchester as Derby, there wasn't the pull in any one direction to support a particular club.

Pearl Ram Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Tell your lad Santa is a Derby County fan and will look after him on Christmas Day. If that cuts no ice with him tell him Santa will die if he continues to support Leicester and all the little boys and girls in the world will get no presents and it wil be all his fault. I reckon that'll do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 simple. take him to games. One game won't be enough, but when he makes a connection of "Daddy and Derby", it'll mean something to him. This. What you want to do is hold back all love and affection and only show him any attention when you watch Derby together. He'll soon start begging for a season ticket here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Festa born and bred but as has been said take him to games and he'll be a ram. All my friends growing up were obviously leic's fans. But my grandad was a season ticket holder and my dad was a supporter and started taking me to games in the mid 80's. It just came naturally that i would be a ram. Oh and i'm arf derby any road as me mams from belper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
