So, this is partly my own fault, well completely my own fault really.
Its my lad's 5th birthday in two weeks and as in the previous 4 years I have been playing a dangerous game of waiting for the shirt prices to be reduced before buying one.....
.....and for the past week absolutely nowhere has had a shirt in the right size in either the home, away or third kits. Ive tried the online shop, all the physical shops, every major retailer that could stock them, and countless websites.
I was gutted that my attempt at brain washing him into being the next generation of supporter has failed at the 5th hurdle, especially as this is the first year he has actually said he wanted a shirt. Its all because I was looking to save a few quid. Bugger.
Is looking to save 50% on a XS Youth shirt really worth risking my son's support? of course it isnt. Why o why did I wait this long?
When the website last week kindly informed me that there were 'under 5 remaining' did i pounce to ensure he has his number 5 shirt to go with 4,3,2 and 1? Did I heck!!
No, I preferred to leave it far too late and have to resort to looking through adverts for suppliers from thailand who could provide the shirts, albeit without the underarmour logo! (i knew something was missing in the picture and i must admit it took me a while to notice what it was).
Even, my dear old dad, paid return trips to the Enfield Town and High Road stores this morning to scour the shelves (wouldnt have taken long in Enfield).
Alas, still no shirt to be found anywhere.
Then, as if answering my call from deep in the abyss, a little voice inside my head said "go on, check the online store again. go on, once more wont hurt, its an excuse not to do some work at the very least."
Like a faithful servant i obeyed that command and there is was, staring me in the face. A Youths XS Home shirt AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW.
I dont know where the availability has come from, there may have been an extra box on the top shelf of the warehouse that no-one had looked in. It may be that a Spurs Community member has returned a shirt for some reason; but whatever the reason for there now being a shirt available, from the bottom of my heart and genuinely with a tear in my eye I thank you. My boy will be very happy
Next year, i vow to buy one early, i promise.
Now, while my prayers are being answered and as these things come in 3's....can we please win our remaining games and i'd also like to win the euromillions tonight.
