Last night after the game just making our way into the shop - a young boy of about 10 spoke to an Albion fan and asked to use his phone as he'd lost his dad!
The Albion fan said - NO - whether he had no credit or not I'm not sure anyway I said - don't worry - you can use mine - he said he'd been separated from his dad and mate when they were walking out - easy done I guess.
He got really upset but I told him to stay near the shop and I'd stay until we found dad - signal at the Amex is rubbish to say the least!!!!
After 8 calls and a couple of texts - we went to the guys at Dick's Bar and asked them to put a shout out - I left the boy with the bouncer guy at Dick's and found a policeman who put radioed the other cops I guess.
Anyway, eventually dad arrived at the door of Dick's much relieved and father and son were reunited!!!!
Made me think though - I haven't ever told my little girl where to go should we get separated - I've always got hold of her hand but girls are different to boys - boys don't want to hold hands I guess -
Make sure you speak to your kids so they know where to go for help at the Amex - luckily this little boy remembered dad's phone number!!!!
In the dark - with thousands of ppl and a fight going on down the path to the station and being separated from your mum or dad it must have been a scary 7 minutes.
Thanks to my bro and another Albion fan who helped us relocate dad!
