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?
I must admit I agree with this. I don't mind kids wandering around, in fact I'm happy with a more 'continental' free and easy approach to kids in public, but I like the parents to have some awareness and expect decent behaviour. These days so many parents lack all (self)awareness. And in my experience it's usually the posher ones are the worst. Little Jocasta and Oliver can wander around pushing in without reprimand and never mind their Ps and Qs. I'll say one thing for the old school British middle class. They used to know how to behave. |

dear me! think theres a way to go about expressing your opinion on matters Boys Paddock and the way you do it isn't the best
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
About 14-15 years ago I went to a few Barnet home games with a mate, and there used to be one lad with Downs who used to get the crowd going if the atmosphere was flagging a bit. He was known as 'Little Man'. They loved him. 'Little Man Little Man give us a song' and he'd respond by starting 'we're on our wayyyyy'. Still makes me smile. |

Stop criticising other people’s children when you can’t spell they are. I’m sure young children could spell that! |

I was always taught to keep kids away from matches
I was too, and I do like those washing pod adverts that tell me to "keep away from children" as well. |

Spot on. I pay good money for the players of Grimsby Town to provide me with the privilege of being annoyed and having my experience spoilt. However, this Jolley fella seems hellbent on ruining that so we may as well get some small children in so we have someone to aim our booing at, right? |

 Very good. You did read the sentences that came after this one though, right? |

I always have that reaction when I hear that ad. |

When I was 3 I was leader of GTFC Junior Bovver Boys and used to really like going to BP especially to have a good scrap with the Scunts and Sincil Raiders.
