Generation Game

[Volpone]

Six generations of my family have watched City play. I'm curious to know if any members can beat that.

How many generations of your family have watched LCFC?

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Jesus. 6!? I'm on me tod.

 

[Macky]

None, not including me.

What do I win?

 

[Volpone]

Jesus. 6!? I'm on me tod.

I don't mean all at the same time!

 

[Blaarev]

Two. Do we get extra points for being scandinavian?

 

[Lako42]

3 in one go, 5 that I aware of, will hopefully be 6

No chance, bloody foreigners taking our seats.

 

[Blaarev]

Oy! I might go and do a cartoon if you don't behave!

 

[Lako42]

I reserve the right to not look at it, ha.

 

[Blaarev]

Who said I was going to publish it?

 

[Volpone]

This is so embarrassing. I miscounted my own family.

I can only claim 5 generations. My grandfather, my father, myself, my son and my grandson. Still not bad though.

 

[Mawsley]

Does booing count?

Could be joining you in May.

Publish and be damned!!

I guess this counting lark can get quite tricky when you have to use two hands and are at least 110 years old!! :icon_wink

Five or six generations is wonderful.

I will be boring and make a serious point. Leicester City is part of the collective memory of the Volpone family. I wrote to an elderly American friend who had fought and lost friends in Korea explaining about the helicopter and the veterans at the match near Remembrance Day saying that for many Europeans the soul of a city is in its "soccer" club . Leicester's memorial garden has a plaque to a young man who was killed in Iraq giving the parents a tangible place to visit - the club chaplain did a moving little speech. Being a football supporter involves an emotional commitment that is more than liking some TV talent show or preferring one brand of chocolate over another.

I may be being unfair but for all I know the Volpone family may never visit the King Richard III centre or the Guild Hall but Leicester City is part of their family heritage and just as valid.

The missus and me are planning to go but the KR3 is shut at the moment for a refurb.

I do agree that there is something incredibly 'lodged' in fans hearts when it comes to supporting their local team...god sometimes I wish it wasn't.

 

[alex]

Hear that brother.

What about supporters that don't follow their "local" team though?
