My boy was 7 when he went to see Wrexham in a cup game at the Amex. I was fully expecting him to lose interest but, high on sugary drinks and sweets, he stayed with it till the end and then asked if he could go again next week. We got season tickets the year after and have been going together ever since.

Would have been the Man City game last season had it not been an evening game for my 7 year old
Wish me luck hyping up Watford at home!

Up the Albion!
My lad is 5 now, can't wait to take him. Hopefully start with a cup game this season if we can get tickets.
I am a ST holder, so need to look in to changing over from WSL to the East family part with a seat for me & Super Tommy Smith.

I would say at least 6 , preferably 7 any younger and they probably won’t concentrate for the whole game . My nephews certainly wouldn’t !
It’s also quite scary for any child younger than 6 to be in a big crowd with a lot of noise , it’s important to remember that .

Water and a small amount of sweets or one sugary drink and no sweets . Not both . Take a toothbrush with you . Need to get kids into good early habits . Lots of young kids getting tooth decay early . My mother is a dentist .
I started going aged 8 I think. It obviously worked as I’m still going aged 40.

Took my oldest girl when she was about 6 to game against Oxford at GG in 199?. Took my youngest daughter when she was 23 , much easier and you feel much less guilty having a few drinks ... My middle girl is not a fan....

Never.
It will only end in tears & heartache and cost a lot of money. Think of a life where you don't care if a certain Ben White stays or not. That every weekend you have the freedom to do as you please without being tied down to an event.
No, start them young and take them to the pub instead (this bit was a joke).
