Match Day and Kids

[WestBelfast Spurs]

Quick question, what age would you bring your son or daughter to there 1st match and is it easy enough to get tickets for a Saturday game?

my kid is going to be 4 in march is that too young to be traveling from Belfast to watch us??

Only you know your kid... If you think he'll enjoy it then bring him over.

My grandaughter is 4 next week and I will be taking her in the new year. my daughter and her use the tube a lot and on match days she joins in the singing on the train, especially "come on you Spurs". Love her to bits.

I think they should have a good memory of their first match. Is 4 too young for that?

My dad took me to my first match just after my 9th birthday as a birthday present. It was against Arsenal and we won 1-0 with a Popescu goal in the first half. Good memory.

I've pondered this very question.

my boy will be 4 in April and was thinking about taking him before the season ends. It would have to be a 3pm kick off. Bit worried about the language in the ground though.

Does your son like sitting down and watching a game? Can they sit in one place for two hours without getting too restless?

My son was six when I took him to his first game and I thought that was about the right age especially as I'd already taken him to a few Basketball matches which he'd enjoyed. Saying that although he liked going to the ground and seeing the players warm up he didn't like the noise from the crowd as it scared him and we ended up leaving before half time. Luckily it was only the pre-season game at the lane so we didn't waste too much money. I'll try again next pre-season (and take ear plugs) and if he enjoys that then I'll think about getting him a ticket for a more expensive game.

I tried taking my kids to local football matches at around the age of 4.

90 minutes, plus half time and the queueing was enough to realise that for my kids, taking them to a big match wasn't a good idea.

My eldest is now 7 (nearly 8) and he's now begging me to take him, so in the new year I'll be looking to take him to his first spurs game!

Most people there will speak English so you'll be good mate.

I remember my dad took my cousin, when I couldnt go as a kid. She was between 5 and 7, and really wanted to see David Beckham. After 5 mins she said, I seen Beckham and I want to go home now, worth saying she didn't go to another game again lol.
