Desperate Dad<br />
I was lucky enough to take<br />
my football-mad eight-yearold<br />
to watch Arsenal play in<br />
their magnificent Emirates<br />
fortress this season.<br />
We Are Imps…<br />
It was a road trip of dreams – a Saturday we’ll never<br />
forget, pack up lunch secured and extra sweets for half<br />
time safely stashed away – a boys’ own outing to savour<br />
forever.<br />
I’ll never forget his face as we rounded the north London<br />
corner and the stadium came into view, and as we<br />
entered the ground pitch side proper, I thought he (and I<br />
too) was going to explode with excitement.<br />
But he wasn’t there to cheer on the Gunners – he’s not<br />
an Arsenal fan at all. My little yellowbelly had journeyed<br />
to see them play plucky Lincoln City FC and what a<br />
magnificent day it turned out to be.<br />
We’ve been watching the mighty Imps together for a<br />
good two-and-a-half seasons now.<br />
The World Cup in 2014 ignited my eldest’s football flame,<br />
so the logical next step was to form an allegiance with<br />
our local (struggling) non-league side.<br />
Most Saturday afternoons now involve a visit to the<br />
hallowed Sincil Bank and a seat in the Co-op Family<br />
Stand to watch our local Lincoln heroes.<br />
