Horses for courses and all that,my lad is 10,he has had a season ticket for six seasons now,next year will be his 7th ! He loves every minute of it and always has done .I think there should be a minimum age limit of 7. Before then they don't have the attention span for 90 mins. The bloke behind me brought his 4 or 5 year old for a couple of seasons. After about 25 mins of each half the lad would start demanding they go for some sweets and would be desparate for the match to end. He doesn't come anymore which is probably main because of the cost, but I suspect could also be because his dad turned something which should be an enjoyable experience into an ordeal.

well mate,for the first 3 years of my sons season ticket adventure,we were based in the familly stand,we had 1 season in 234 and 2 in block 233,and apart from the adult in charge of the nipper,none of the kids where interested in who we were playing ,i once had a parent txting all during one game dealing with his business while his 2 kids played on their tablets all 3 of them totally oblivious of what was going on in front of them on the pitch.Yes, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. But it does annoy me when fans take their kids to matches when clearly they're not ready for it. The bloke behind me seemed to have the attitude "You will enjoy this match". Although it amused me once when we were playing United (the 1-0 with Aguero scoring) and with about 10 mins remaining the lad piped up "Dad, who are we playing?".
generalisation, i took my lad when he was 3 or 4 and he loved it. he's now nearly 6 and a cockney city obsessive!I think there should be a minimum age limit of 7.
