Massive Dilemma.....

[simon the viking]

Okay actually a tongue in cheek 'first world' problem...... but here goes .... We live in Burton on Trent....and....

I'm a Burton Albion fan I don't get to many games as I work Saturdays.....But follow them and was dead chuffed when they got promoted to League One.... (just one league down from Derby County) Mrs V however being born in Cambridge and having lived in Derby from her early teens until we met is obviously a massive.... A Leicester City fan (go figure)so I also support Leicester City a bit again being dead chuffed they stayed up Our son by default is Leicester 1st Burton 2nd fan (as Granddad takes him to Leicester games)

This does not normally cause conflict and actually quite good having a wife who 'does' football....

However The pre season frendlies have been announced for albion and they are obviously playing Leicester so

Do I Go in the away end as Leicester fan (Really don't want to), Does my wife go in the Albion End as a burton fan (Definitely won't....) and if we go together then go in separate ends who has custody of Little-un thus defining his life as a Leicester fan or Albion fan....

I do have other issues and problems in my life but none as important as football........

Is there a family area in the ground?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

It's simple, he should be neither a Leicester fan nor a Burton fan, but a Leeds fan.

Seriously, you should go in the Burton end, t'other half should go in the Leicester end and youngest should be allowed to chose. Loser has to cook the tea.

Go and watch The Tigers instead.

This is actually a good idea... however it would be predominantly Burton area and thus unacceptable to the wife...

To be fair if I didn't work Stupid Saturdays they would be on the Events rota.....

Go for a bike ride and let the other two sort it out for themselves.

I understand they have 1/2 & 1/2 scarf's for such a 'dilemma' - hire a corporate box & nobody will notice'

tbh Mrs V is bigger Leicester fan than I am an Albion fan... but we went to The stadium to see them presented with league 2 trophy.... even she admits to divided loyalties.......
