Almost ditto

My son's (then 7) first game was v Swansea Dec 2013. We were sitting in the community care area in the corner, Nathan Dyer opened the scoring right in front of us, but the row in front were standing up to let in a late-comer, so we didn't see it. Two minutes before half time, he needs a wee, (my son, not Dyer) so i thought let's go now, beat the rush and all that....me hovering around outside, big roar inside - Hooper's equalised ! Bugger....

We saw to about 70 mins and he was a bit cold and bored and wanted to go....so i reasoned it would backfire if we waited til the bitter end, and it wasn't a great game anyway. He hasn't shown a great deal of enthusiasm to visit a second time....but i'm working on him.
