I have never seen Juvenal quoted on the Forum before Macca, but here's one of his gems!...'maxima debetur puero reverentia'....which, in it's broadest translation says 'the greatest respect should be paid to the child'.
Your posting puts this in a nutshell, for it's only from the young people of the District that the next generation of Stanley supporters can evolve !.
Perhaps, where discussions relating to future Supporter's Club initiatives are concerned (as discussed in a thread elsewhere!) the place of the young supporters might take some importance, so that all kids playing footy in
the area will be wearing a Stanley Shirt... know why they're wearing it!!...
and have pride in it's shield !...perhaps too they'll become better citizens with pride and respect for the Community as a whole?..one can hope!
RESPECT to the child......RESPECT to the STANLEY !!!
'ON STANLEY...ON'
