Just want to say a big THANK YOU to all the posters who took the time to respond to the OP. There's some great advice and it really has made me feel better about the situation. Having read all the advice I have a two point plan 1) just take more time to explain how special our football club is, its history and what it has meant to generations of good football fans through out the ages. The fact that its often not easy being a Baggie and that's actually what makes us so special, anyone can be soft and support successful glory hunting teams. Supporting the Baggies through tough times makes the good times great (I'm kind of writing my script here!) The fact that there's not loads of Baggies at his school is the very thing that makes him, in terms of football, special and unique.2) I need to get him to a game and as some have said make it a special experience, not just turn up watch a game and go home. Thinking of going to MacDonalds before hand, what kid doesn't love a pre match burger, then arriving early and allowing the atmosphere to build and really soak in. I've seen us play FA Cup semi finals, play off finals, play in Europe the Villa and Wolves loads of times but I can honestly say I will never have wanted us to win a game as much as his first game.
Once again thanks everyone, this bored is easily the best thing on t'interweb
