A worried mum

First XI
Hi guys and gals, my first post and you will probably all laugh and say silly woman but here goes anyway.

My son is off to his first away match tomorrow night and I am a worry guts.....from worry over violence to him missing the coach home and being stranded miles away from home.

I have spoken to him and he does nothing to ease my mind. He says even a newspaper can be turned into a lethal weapon and when I asked why balloons were barred from some matches I was given visions of smothering and choking. You may laugh at this poor soul but the paranoia has finally taken over.....

He will be the one cornered in the loos surrounded by Donny fans.......who nick his specs and eat his burger....
He will be the one chasing the bus waving his arms frantically while all aboard sing victorious songs during the trip home.....

Can anyone help to ease my worries?

I will be watching and hoping for a SUFC victory so good luck lads and I wish all those travelling up a smashing day
 
He will be fine, the coach will check numbers on the way up and the way back.

If it helps you I went to an away match back in the early 90's on my own and I was about 13/14 years old. It was Notts County away in the Anglo Italian Cup, we lost on penalties and I got back very late, I was nervous going on my own but as soon as I got on the coach I felt safe, I made new friends and look back on it to this day as a great away game.

I also got my picture in the evening echo to top it off :)

Anyway, he will be fine give him a mobile phone if your that worried.

God, I was at that game. hated losing like that!!!

I also believe that it was the last time and probably the only time that we were just one game away from Wembley.

Here's hoping tomorrow night doesn't have the same sickening ending.

UTB!!!

He laughs at me for worrying as does my eldest son and Ive been told not to worry etc so thanks for the info. They end up making it worse with their jokes.
Hes big enough to look after himself I know and I think his mate is going to but us mums do worry.
He has a phone but its often runs out of charge........or so he says, LOL.

Im not sure what time the coaches are back, chances are that, if Southend win, they will come back via some sort of 'Skins' party
 
How the young folk refer to out of control house parties these days, based on the hit E4 series 'Skins'

*Wonders if its to late to get a ticket just to party afterwards*

No, sorry. He'll almost certainly be involved in some sort of altercation and from what i hear the Donny Ultra's are a bloody violent bunch. Don't expect to ever see your son again.
