Won't ... it's not mid week night game ... it's Saturday 3pm kickoff and not on TV either ...

The club cant really do any more to attract fans for this one. At £17 for a parent and 2 kids, or £32 even for a family of four the ground should be full.

Agreed. Should be around 45K for this one...

What age should kiddies be to go to a game - wondering if my half baked legs can carry mini-bob there! He shouts City! Every tine he's sees the crest and even celebrates the goals (well he celebrates!) Maybe 1 might just be a bit young ....

Up to 5, kids are free anyway (as long as they sit on your lap, not a seat of their own) ... I took mine around 2 for the first time and he loved it.

All mine went when they were about 3yr old. However, I would definitely say dont bother. You spend all your time with trips to the toilet or answering their questions.....most none football related..you know the score. You come away from the game having missed most of the action yourself due to the nipper demanding attention. Its an experience though :-)

Took my eldest regulary at 4 but to Plymouth Argyle as it's easy from here (bout 90/91). We had front seats in the grandstand but he wouldn't sit down most of the time and walked about leaning on the front wall (another stand below). Luckily he was short enough not to annoy the fellas near us, but it's a bit young.

This game sold out last year, which absolutely amazed me, so it should do again!

Good prices. Shame they can't do this for league games. Fucking 50 quid for the shittest seats for s league game.

Apart from giving tickets for free, cannot expect anything else.

I know it is difficult with so many games and it is whatever people cannot afford.

Cheer AG7, WW and John@ - desperate to get him to a game but he'd be wanting to roam around after 10 mins! Maybe when he's two i may brave it - he has started to get an eye to watching football on TV and he now shouts city when Pellers is on the tv! He is well and truly a blue :-)
