Would rather the club clamped down on grossly obese supporters with b.o squeezing into one seat ruining my experience than younger kids.

You made me think there. When I was little we had no car and always had to go on our weeks holiday by bus or train and it seemed to take forever. If you saw kids with their family you could bet your last farthing that they were sitting still looking at a comic or playing I-Spy or being travel sick. Wandering about was verboten.  |

On disabled supporters my brother has down syndrome and loves it, group we sit with are fantastic with him, he can be a little pest but loves town and loves going to the games

Did the parent(s) pay for the seat? In that case there is no argument is there?
I remember a couple in the Barratt Stand years ago who came to BP with a baby less than a year old, stood there with it in a papoose thingy. Someone would most likely arrest them under H&S nowadays. Odd thing to do but must have been the youngest Town supporter I’ve seen at a game. If it made a row it was inaudible above the din we used to make in those good old days of standing up. Which makes another issue - what happens in an emergency? Do we reckon we could get a toddler out of a stand fire or whatever?
Must admit I do get fed up of people taking their kids to things where they naturally get bored and are a nuisance to other customers who end up paying good money for the privilege of being annoyed and having their experience spoilt. I’m thinking of restaurants, theatres and cinemas and the like. Probably BP does not come into that category ... though it is as quiet as Grimsby Library some days. Then parents make the excuse there’s no-one else to look after them so they have to take them and let the rest of the world be their babyminders. It is easy to condemn on both sides of this but it really isn’t straightforward is it?
Saw this only a couple of weeks back in the Pontoon, so maybe it's not that uncommon even in this "H&S" compliant day and age Got to admit I did a "double take" but the parents seemed ok with their little one being there.... their call so who am I to question their judgement? I took all three of mine to see Town when they were all either 4 or 5 and didn't really have any issues as such other than them wanting the loos etc... with a baby you just need some nappies ( hopefully not being used to smuggle flares in to the ground though! ) I first went when I was six and to be honest it was easier back then.... no seats to keep me in my place so I could roam around the Imperial Corner where my dad stood and also stand up on that fence that seemed just perfectly made for a young kid to climb up and see the game from close up |

I took my 8 and 10 year old daughters to a pre-season friendly at Scunthorpe some years ago. I'm not sure that they learned a lot about the game, but they certainly learned some interesting new words!

Took my 8 and 10 year old lads to Scunny to a Boxing day game 30 years ago. We were in the 'Family' stand. When Big Keith scored near the end a hail of coins flew over from the Grimsby stand. I tried to lead the lads to safety but they insisted on crawling under seats to collect as much cash as possible! |

I sit near some proper mardy blokes in their 50/60s who do nothing but moan even when we're winning.
I wish their kids would leave them at home, it's not a bloody retirement home.
Cheeky young blighter! I'm mid-50s and I'm not ready for a 'home' yet. Though I wish I could afford to retire. |

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same. |
