I can place my apology here, now, on the public record for her to find years from now, after enduring a season like any one of ours since 2017. Yer daddys sorry.....

When we went to visit the family the next week, he saw me coming up the path and ran to hide behind his mum on the couch crying his eyes out because he thought I was going to take him to see Falkirk again. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is six, and has been at me for a good year or so but obviously covid fucked it. Shes desperate to go so i'm quite chuffed with that, but she has made it clear that snack availability is the single most important factor in this. I just hope we have the game buttoned up by 60 mins, because I strongly suspect I wont see the final whistle. She might surprise me...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Don't lose heart if she doesn't get in to it straight away. I was taken along when I was 5 and was bored out my tits. Didn't go to another game til I was 10 and have been hooked ever since. That was the last season at Brockville though so would have been hard not to enjoy tbf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I didn't even try with my two until they were about 9 and 7. I think it worked as they were fine and not too bored. Snack availability is obviously the main attraction though, let's be honest. They were appalled/amazed with the pie/roll combo at Alloa previously. Also stunned into silence by the conversation I had with an apparently sensible young lad there, who was at a Man City game previously, and swore blind he got a goal notification on his phone before it had even been netted in the stadium. Mind blowing. Edited September 9, 2021 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Tynierose said: A good option is to take them to a non league game, I used to take my son to Prestonfield at Linlithgow. Kids get in free, they can take their own snacks, they can wander round the whole stadium and don't have to sit. It's a better introduction than just firing them into an all seated ground that's packed. I did this with my lad at Dunipace. First senior game was against Airdrie at Broadwood, he was mesmerised by a wee spider he saw crawl into the ear of the old boy sitting in front of us. Still remembers this to this day and he’s 28! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I took my daughter to Brockville for what I thought would be her first of many games when she was about 6/7 yrs old, can't remember the game but it was freezing. She is 27 now and a mum herself and has never set foot in a football ground since. Saved herself a lifetime of grief and heartache. My granddaughter is 18mnths now so I'm not sure if I should introduce the wee one to the pain.

Took my nephew to his first game at the Falkirk Stadium when he was 7, unfortunately was absolutely freezing and snowing all day so we actually had to leave at half time as he wasn't heating up at all. He's not fancied it since although now he's 12 it might be time to try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Durnan to have a brain fart and cost Alloa a goal and a red card for attempting to try too hard and forgetting his limitations, Sammon to just be Sammon and do f**k all, but at the same time being Messi compared to Jaime fucking Wilson. 3-1 us Keena, Nesbitt, and a debut goal for Ruth. Trouten for Alloa, pen, given away by Ben Hall trying to outdo his old pal Durnan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
