Both of our chidren love playing football for the local junior team and though I do like football, it can sometimes seem all a bit much during the football season - no lie ins as they train at 9am on Saturdays, then matches happen almost every Sunday - often with them playing in different places, so we have to take a child each!
On top of this my husband is a Stoke City fan with a season ticket, so every other week he travels a 230 mile round trip to see them play! Oh yes, and not forgetting the afternoons we go to watch York City - sometimes with one of the children acting as a ballboy...
Watching junior football in all weathers can be less than pleasant - but I do remind myself regularly that we are so lucky that our kids are healthy, enjoy sport, and have the opportunity to get involved in team sports - not everyone has the chance. I can't say that the end of the season will be a disappointment though, however they've just started cricket practice!
