Mine were all 5 when they came to their first games.
I see people take younger children and toddlers, but I also see those same people miss most of the game through having to entertain a little person who has no interest in watching football.

I was 3 when my Dad first took me. Apparently I had more fun playing with the seats.

My first was about 8....it was then that he could really start taking in what was going on, and could sit still and watch for 90 mins.
Cricket is a much better game for taking rug rats to....especially the small grounds as they can usually find a corner to mess around with a bat and ball.

I took mine at 4, loved it until we scored when he started crying. We left at half time. I don't intend to take him again until he's in his twenties.

There has been a large increase in toddlers sat near me in the DRS, which means i have to keep my insults and expletives to a minimum. Which is annoying considering we're getting no good results over the last 2 seasons...

I'm not adverse to people taking kids to football, but there should be segregation.... |

Agreed Reg. I take mine in the family enclosure so that the amount of expletives they hear is kept to a minimum, and other fans are free to curse and scream all they want without fear of hassle from parents. |

I wouldn't worry, we don't look much like scoring a lot these days by the sounds of it! |

I first took my lad a week or two before his fourth birthday. He soon settled into it and was interested in watching the games no problem.

When I go I usually sit next to my dad, whose immediate 'neighbours' are a dad and 2 pretty young kids. He usually brings along a mountain of Haribo to keep them quiet and in general they are pretty well behaved.

Our son was just over three when we took him to his first game.
It helped that we scored early in each half & the weather was ok (he didn't have to moan that he was cold), but in general he was fine.
It didn't put him off either, he's still going now at 15.
