Son's first game

lukecrossland · August 5, 2015

After some advice

Want to take my son to the old lady but not sure if he is really old enough. He is currently 20 months old but is a confident walker. How old were your kids when you took them for the first time. Don't think Gwladys Street would be the right place though.

Think that towards the back end of the season, at about 2 1/2 he should be ok

Try a midweek cup game first mate.

I took my son around the same age, lifted him over the turnstile.

Only took him to friendlies though, as I didn't want him to mess about too much and annoy other ppl watching the match.

If its too much and he wont keep still, you can always just take him under the stand and let him kick a plassy bottle around.

Problem is that we dont live in Liverpool so midweek is a bit of a problem for us. Maybe a league cup game or FA cup if we get a Saturday game

If he misbehaves, take him to watch us play Liverpool.

How far away from Lpool are you mate ??

If its quite far then it may be a wasted drive for a lad so young.

Friendlies just gone would have been ideal.

The stewards can be sound after the game as well to get some good pics by the pitch too if you ask mate.
Good luck.

You will be sound mate.

My son was ace when I took him at 18 months.

I had put loads of work into him, and he would be singing all the songs, before he actually knew what they were about.

Andy Dondun (Andy Johnson)

He has had a shirt since day 1 and loved watching us batter Arsenal 3-0 the season before last, at only 6 months. His current shirt has his name plastered across the back. We watch MOTD on a Sunday morning and he cheers when Everton come one (and other teams that play in blue!) and shouts GOAL when one goes in. He has learnt that teams in Red are not to be liked. Swansea on the 23rd Jan is my birthday so thinking about a family outing for that.
