‘Come off or you’ll be grounded for a month’ says EFL boss as he removes sons from pitch over an hour after full-time
Two other games in the division have been called off
CHELTENHAM boss Michael Flynn hilariously stopped his two sons from having a kickabout on the pitch.
The Robins beat Tranmere Rovers 1-0 last night to go 14th in League Two.
Cheltenham won thanks to an 89th minute Joel Colwill strike and celebrated with one of his sons.
Over an hour after the game finished, two of the manager’s kids were still enjoying themselves and showed off their skills on the Whaddon Road turf.
Flynn was ready to go home following his pitch-match duties and tried to get them off the pitch.
But his sons reportedly continued to play football and ignored their father.
He then brilliantly shouted: “Come off, or you’ll be grounded for a month.”
Flynn has five kids named Dionne, 24, Charlie, 10, Theo, 10, Edward, 9, and Samuel, 7.
The Welshman became Cheltenham boss in May after their relegation from League One last season.
Flynn formally managed Newport, Walsall and Swindon.

His children were perhaps making the most of being on the field given that several other EFL games have been postponed today due to Storm Bert.
In League Two, Bradford vs Accrington and Fleetwood vs MK Dons have been called off.
And due to torrential rain, Blackburn vs Portsmouth in the Championship has also been postponed.
