tts_city Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 im taking my son (7) to his first game this season, so i chose shrewsbury at home as im hoping he gets to see us win and get him hooked, i booked some seats today online however i think i might have put us right behind a pillar in the williams, can anyone tell me is block K row p seats 20 - 22 right behind one ? i would hate for a bloody pillar in the way to be his first impression and i dont fancy it either.

chalky Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Someone came on here with a similar query recently - Answer: It won't sell out so sit somewhere where pillar isn't in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yup as Chalky said - wait until 10 mins to kick off, look around and choose 2 seats that you like the look off - their will be plenty empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts_city Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 yes i did but it wasnt obvious where the pillars were, i dont go often these days, once or twice a season, but im hoping this might be the start of us both going regularly as father and sons do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 If I have any kids I'll take them down to AG as soon as they can walk... Maybe before. I wouldn't want to risk a non-footy loving child. I understand how this is wrong on so many levels so you don't need to tell me. Morales and sh*t right?

My Dad started taking me when I was 4 or 5 but it was easier then, as we could stand in the East End and I could just muck about near the front if I got bored. I started taking my son at about 5 or 6 and although it was all seating by then luckily he kept still and watched the game. He's 23 now and CIty through and through, as am I. Mission accomplished for me and my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news; But unfortunately you have not picked the best seats. However, you have also not picked the worst. The thing to know is that the pillar for that section is next to the seat L21 (or 22/20, you get the idea). You can look around the pillars, it is not the end of the world, but it is a pain in the arse certainly! If I were you, I would sit in the upper L Block but fairly low down. As a result of this, the pillar will only block your view of the away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Remember going to games with dad and grandad at about the age of 5, absolutely fantastic. My sister went to her first game at about the age of two and spent the whole match repeating "City kick it", not sure she got the offside rule at that age though...

tts_city Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 thanks pigeon, so we are three rows behind it, thats not as bad as i feared, as others have said we can always move if its not packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, I still often sit around there as it doesn't bother me that much. Every time I go to the Williams I see people sit in their seats and say 'there's a ******* pole in the way!'. But, as you suggested, it is rarely sold out around that area so people just move to a seat they prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBibs Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Slightly dodgy view will probably be a good part of the memories for him. I sat in there with a mate v Derby last season and we had a right laugh about the view. Took my 9 y/o girl to her first match last season v Middlesbrough and she absolutely loved it (more enthusiastic than me now). Hope you get a similar result.

redsquirrel Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 a very kind fellow red ST holder isnt going that game and has very kindly offered us there seats in the williams with a great view, thanks a lot its very much appreciated. i was in that row looking down yesterday at the seat fitted right behind that pillar,what were they thinking even putting one there,its like 'the naughty chair' both rows in front and behind were empty. glad you got other seats already as that pillar blocked out the centre circle which wasnt an issue in the first half as it was all happening right in front of us towards frankies goal,got excellent idea of why kilkenny mustnt start any time soon.
