Football games
Me and my dad have been going to watch the football since i was 9 years old.

The first question he would ask me was whether i can see both goals ok, would i like to swap seats etc as i was a proper scrawny midget back then.

I'm now 25 and half a foot taller than him. A few weeks back i found myself offering to swap seats with him as he couldnt quite see one of the goals past the supporting pillar.

Lost 3 nil and it was the last game at the old ground so it won't happen again :-(

Guess we all just become a parents at some stage, thought i might have had a decade or two before it happened though!

My old man's suddenly become a short arse too.
Weird, very weird...

What game? Was it Cardiff? They're moving aren't they?

They are only moving accross the road but certainly won't have a problem with pillars in the new place. Will definalty miss the atmousphere in Ninian park.

Going up to Cardiff
this weekend - no doubt I'll be driven past the new ground by my girlfriend's dad (fuck knows why, he supports Villa).

Ninian Park was a great ground. And there's not many footie stadiums that can claim to have hosted a gig by the Pope.

Best of luck for next season (except when you play Cov City, of course).

I read that as
You were 25.5 foot taller than your dad

And thought, fuck me, what are they feeding you?!
