Silvio Dante Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 In more seriousness, I tried my son (other than for the Carey testimonial at 10 months) at about four. Too much into cars then and wasn’t overly interested. From 6 (nearly 7) post World Cup 18, he’s been all over it. To the point of being up all night a week ago singing “Cardiff get battered” My daughter I took from about 6-7 as well. Still into it at 13. I think from that I’d recommend age 6!

All that will happen is you are unable to watch the match and you’ll just cause problems for those sitting near you.

He brought supplies, booster seats and activities, usually games and comics. They were really well behaved, got a bit scared at the shouting from the fans but sat through most of the game, watched it sporadically. I don’t know if they still come.

Mate, you wouldn’t believe it. We got back from Cardiff about half four and he was in that excited and tired at the same time phase so went to sleep at seven. He then woke up at eleven and sang through the night. At 6am I went in his room and asked him what he was doing (the missus had tried to calm him down during the night and I slept through!). He professed to not being able to get to sleep. I explained that dancing on his rug and singing “Cardiff get battered” was somehow less conducive than counting sheep… I nearly put him in more than detention !

BCFC1512 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 My 10 year old is now on his 2nd season as a ST holder. basically they’ll either like it or they won’t. I first took mine when he was 7. He got a bit bored and still does when it’s boring games haha. At first advise I’d give us fully charged phone and bring your own food crisps and sweets as it can get expensive. And try not to force it if they get a bit bored and ask for your phone, let them.

Out of his pie crust Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Took my kids sporadically from when my lad was about 4. Have been going for last 8 years , last 5 or so as season ticket holders. First year or so was a combination of going for a hot dog, toilet break, phone gaming, and a small amount of football watching. 5 prob feels about right age but guess it’s different for everyone.

Bedred31 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Parents like me invariably get stressed about our kids being exposed to swearing and aggressive behaviour. But I started gong at 7 in the 70’s when the atmosphere in every respect worse than now - I remember dodging bricks, literally, while trying to get into the schoolboys enclosure, quite apart from ‘My old man said be a Rovers fan ‘…- and I can’t say I was harmed in any way. Really about memories for me- I really loved going at 7, but I have only fleeting memories of it now, so there’s probably not too much point in taking the very young.

Northern Red Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I've mentioned it before but one of the funniest things I've heard at the match was leaving the ground a few years ago after a particularly miserable midweek home defeat and a young lad, no older than about 8 or 9, saying to his Dad "do we have to come again on Saturday?"

Just looked up the 3-2 home defeat, it was in August '85, and fortunately a rare game I missed as I got married that day! Heard about all the stick Emmanuel was getting - it made the English papers in Yugoslavia - and by the time I got back from honeymoon he was out of the team, and had possibly even already left the club.

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Took my son down when he was 4 - with his own City hav-a-sac full of goodies & drinks - and he loved it from the off and never looked back. Mostly that was in the family enclosure, lower Dolman, but there were more adults there than children and a good atmosphere - plenty of linesman baiting etc., so he quickly realised AG was a place to be partisan. He certainly wouldn't have enjoyed being miles away from the action somewhere like the Upper Lansdown! From about 6 years old he was charging down to the front track when City scored with about 20 other young lads to congratulate the scorer so was very involved in the action from a young age.

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Might add it doesn't work for everyone. A friend couldn't wait to take his son to AG, and when he was about 3 proudly carried him on his shoulders to stand in the the open bit of the EE. When City scored the noise and uproar upset him so much he burst into tears and eventually my friend had to take him home. He was so put off he never went to another match!

My lad is 11 now. Been going since he was 7, and our message to him regarding swearing has always been the same - It's ok to listen and hear swearing, but not to repeat it. Let's be honest, all of these kids are going to school, and the playground will be equally as bad a place if kids are copying what's being sung at stadiums, but the same applies to my son - it's alright to hear these things, just don't repeat. I'm more than happy for him to be street wise and understand things, but I just don't want him to act streetwise if that makes sense. The same applies to PlayStation games or movies that he watches - happy for them to have swearing in, but just not the grotesque violence, which is a whole different kettle of fish.

TonyTonyTony Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Me and my son (15) are regulars and sit in the Dolman. When i take my daughter (10) we move to the Lansdown, just 'cos of language basically, and its crazy to see the picnics on display from parents with young kids. Sat behind one mum and dad - only dad watching the game and kids on their phones being fed sweets/crisps etc by their mum who wasnt watching the game either. Personally i would take a child younger than 7 as you wont be able to concentrate, and just end up shoveling snacks into them to shut them up. Then there is the toilet trips and preventing them from being squashed on the way out. Nah. Good luck anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 If you want to 'baptise' them in the red n white at AG then take them young, no problem. If you want them to sit with you to watch a game and interact with what's going on, then 6-8 is probably a good age. All kids are different of course. As a tip, id recommended an early or late season game. Took my son to his first a few years back, home to Ipswich in Jan/Feb, and bar Sheff Wed at home with the snow, donkey's years ago, it was the coldest I'd ever been at a game and we were sat up near the media area in the Lansdown with the wind on us the whole time.

Floatn Over Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I took my eldest when he was 4. At the time he was very nervous of loud noises particularly bangs so I explained it carefully that if we scored it would get very noisy instantly but there was nothing to worry about, we were all city fans having a good time and to join in. As I recall we did not score in the first half but in those days, there were often half time entertainments. What did we get that day on the pitch at half time, only some army demonstration ! Gun noises, fake grenades, loud bangs everywhere. I often recall the look on his face with his hands over his ears. Still it didn’t put him off, he’s 24 now, hardly missed a match since, worships the gate like me. The advice - Plan everything from sweets to drinks, snacks to toilets.

Waconda Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 My son is just about to turn 8 and this is the first season he has really got into going to live games, actually watched nearly all of the Swansea game. Previously he has watched bits at best. Take lots of snacks and warm clothes (even now) be prepared to have to miss a large chunk of the action yourself and then leave early probably but worth a go for nothing else than practice for the future. I would suggest minimum age for them to actually sit and watch the game is 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackofromSanJavier Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 When my lad was about 8 or 9, Mrs Jacko had a job that meant she worked most Saturdays. Having the parental role on match days I’d ask if he wanted to go and watch City. Nope, he wanted to go to Melksham Town so he could play footy with his mates behind the stand at the old Conigre. Eventually got him down the Gate, took him into the Dolman so he could look down from the very top. SOLD!!!! The rest, as they say, is history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she gets a win and enjoys it I'm wearing the same vintage of shirt as you. I don't think that guarantees us any luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
