in all seriousness, I'd phone the club and ask if you can use the Disabled section in the SME/Halfords corner, best services I've seen anywhere in the ground. It even has an audio visual centre that he might enjoy. Just getting a ticket in the corner *isn't* strictly enough to go into the disabled part (even though lots of knobs do and block it for those that need it), they give you a wristband on the way in to show at half time, but it all depends on which stewards are there and if they can be arsed.

Unless you can't find babysitting I really wouldn't do it. I can't imagine it'll be anything but hassle and alarming for the kid.
I personally wouldn't take kids to a game until they get to school age. Even then they don't really have the attention span. I took junior when he was about 6 and his sister 8. It was fine when things were going well, but I recall one game it wasn't and things got really moody and the kids wanted to go home.

There's a bloke by us in the Brummie and we've watched his lad grow up from about 18 months to about 8 or 9. My lad used to have to stand on the seats when we were attacking and now he's 6'2" - we didn't start going until he was 7 or 8 though. Personally though I'd leave it a bit.

Nope. Don’t do it.
I used to go up with my kids up the bRom and realised I was being a selfish Cnut and I should have taken them to the local park on the swings and slides instead.
I also wrote to the bRom to question the pricing for very young children seeing as my son would fall asleep in my arms for most of the game and that the pricing was stupid that a 15 year old should pay the same as a 3 year old to get in and that the pricing was deterring single parents from attending with young children. The club never replied.
Anyhow. I realised the errors of my selfish ways and stopped going up the bRom when I had my children until they were older and wanted to go.
I told you I’ll be back

Did you think that you should get a discount for falling asleep during a match?

Pointless taking a one year old to the football. They will be bored, hungry, need the toilet, scared delete as appropriate. They should be running around at that age rather watching others do it, when I say watching I mean generally looking in the direction of the pitch every now and then.

Thoughts on taking a 2 year old.
Is that too young?
Plan was to take him against Millwall, 3 months shy of his 3rd Birthday.
