At what age did you take your son/daughter to oakwell

Going to try my 3 year old tomorrow for first time

Loves playing football and will watch on TV a little but no sure how he will go tomorrow

Got the wife on standby

If he lasts until half time that would be great

Full time and I’m in dreamland haha

 

When I was 12. I had kids early.

 

My daughter was three and she loved/loves it.

 

I recently started taking my 6 year old daughter. I purposefully dont give her lunch and make her a pack up to eat at the match so she basically munches thru that for the first aif. Then ipad and plenty of sweets usually gets me to 85 mins ish. She does watch alot but you have to respect she bound to get bored. But shes gotta put in the hard yards in if shes to make the next step which is away matches. Get in!!

 

When we lived in Donny , I took my lad to Belle Vue to watch Doncaster Rovers play Southend United
under the lights. It was that boring, the action would have sent a glass eye to sleep.!
After about ten minutes my very bored 6 year old son said " turn it ovver Dad" which made me
chuckle. Wind forward 6 years and as a 12 year old after relocating to Ossett, he attended his first game at
Oakwell and has been hooked ever since.

 

Took her to a preseason friendly a couple of years ago when she was 4 so if she wasn’t bothered I wouldn’t mind leaving, and weather was nice. She was ok and managed full game.

Took her again this season against Luton in the family zone and she lost interest half way through, will try her again beginning of next season.

 

Took my daughter age 4 like other posts you need a few distractons to keep them occupied toilets are the main issue she's now 7 and is a Red through & through take some cash for the club shop btw we seem to be in every home game

 

I first took my daughter at 8 until she was 12 , then the little **** started having ideas of her own . In her own words " Dad I'm not coming anymore it's crap " .

 

When I was in the East stand there was a girl went with her dad from being a baby in arms. Good as gold she was . Personally my son was 10 before he wanted to come. I think a 3 yer old nay well get bored butility it really depends on the kid.

 

Bet he buys a round before you do.

 

Took my lad just after he turned 7, was the mk dons home game in 14/15 where they were 5-0 up before we scored three in the last ten minutes to make it look undeservedly respectable at 3-5.

He’s hooked now though

 

Far too young. He'll get bored, you'll get mad.

 

Took my daughter at 6 and the boys were both 5. She’s the biggest fan out of them by a country mile.

 

I know this sounds stupid but I know that deep down but just want to take him anyway

All I have to do is ring the wife and she will pick
Him within 10 minutes

Then get the usual comment of ( told you he wouldn’t like it )

Will update you tomorrow hopefully 5pm but more than likely 15:03

 

Taking him in the Family Stand?

If so, he'll probably enjoy it, with all the changes up there.

If you're going in Ponty, I wouldn't bother, personally. He'll get bored and you (and more importantly everyone around you) will get annoyed.

 

Took my son when he was 6 in the promotion year to Premiership year against Wolves and for a few months all he talked about was Wolves.

 

That I can assure you off

 

My Son was 10 and my Daughter was 12 ,both in their 30's now. He came over from Australia in September and brought his Son who is 5 against Gillingham 3 generations now which was great.

 

I have season ticket in east lower but will take him to family zone prior to game

 

Took my son when he was 6 and he's been hooked ever since. I reckon 5 or 6 is about right.

We get quite a lot of little kids dropping in for games near us in the East Stand Upper, but the really young ones usually disappear at half-time and don't come back. They just dont like the noise - as soon as we all cheer, they start crying and that's that.

But good luck, hope it goes well.
