I can’t say I read the Bible much, but there was a quote I once heard that stuck with me from John 8:7, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.

There has been moaning about the fact that, children at Wycombe Wanderers matches have been having some fun counting down to the 67th minute.

As a grown adult with a job, I can’t say I understand the 67 joke much, nor do I find it particularly amusing, but unlike many, I also don’t particularly care?

For some, it’s cringe to include or indulge children, but is it not exactly what Wycombe should be trying to do?

We hold face painting, we bring in pop-up football nets or bouncy castles, we even offer U-14s a discounted season ticket and free shirts to entice more children to come to matches, nobody bats an eye. Yet, Wycombe, when including a small joke relevant to children during a matchday, seem to have stoked the annoyance of Twitter.

For a lot of children, this will have been a fun moment where they can get involved in the match, when they are less likely to be involved in the tactical nuances of the match.

If even one child who attended the match had fun in the “cringe”, then it is well worth it in my eyes, as we look to push for getting turnout up at Adams Park, and look to get a future generation into being Chairboys, rather than latching onto whatever team is popular or winning at the time.

And as for the adults who are complaining about children having fun, first of all, I’d get ready for the Ghost of Christmas Past to come and visit. But genuinely, who of us when we were young didn’t do cringe things we found funny at the time.

I grew up in the Harlem Shake era, where 9+10 equaled 21, where we did cringe stuff we saw on YouTube and Vine all the time. I made jokes and did things adults around me would have hated. It would be completely hypocritical for me to then turn around and give off to children for the crime of having fun.

We aren’t kids anymore, but that shouldn’t mean we should be moaning about the next generation having a bit of harmless fun. For adults, 15-20 seconds of shouting is hardly going to detract from the entire match as a whole, apart from to provide something for people to complain about online. That is, if you’re looking for something to complain about.

Let’s be real, let kids have fun. We were kids once, we liked stupid things, and remember adults trying to rag us about it. Let’s create an environment where kids can have fun, where kids can do cringe things, where kids feel comfortable coming back. That’s the next generation of Wycombe fans. Besides. Many of us adults do cringe things too.
