I was thinking of taking my 2 year old son to the match on saturday as it`s the only way I can go, his mum out for the day and evening, I think he is too young but I see that age or younger on tv games!

What do you reckon? Will I miss most of the game tryin to keep him amused or maybe a high dose of calpol to sedate him

I was gonna go topless like that fact hunt from Sheff Wed and wrap the boy up like an Inuit, look out for a lardy and a seal clubber rolf

I reckon 2 is too lickle.

My lads went to their first games aged 4/5. Even then they got bored. Mind, Turner was manager then... yawn2

My boy is nearly 2. I know that he can't sit still for 2 minutes never mind the best part of 2 hours. Until he can sit and watch the match I'm not going to take him in case it puts him off for later life.

Unless he's naughty like. :shock:

My plan is to take the bairn to non-Pools match early next season, probably Hucknall Town or someone else nearby who are down the pyramid. He'll be 3 and a half then which I reckon will be about right.

That way he'll get used to what happens at a match, if he gets bored and we leave at half time I won't have chucked £20 down the drain, and I won't be that bothered if I have to entertain him rather than watching the game.

Thats why I chose this game coz it only 12 quid, wouldn`t feel as bad and if I can get a staple gun into the ground to attach him to a seat, all the better!

I wouldnt bother lads until they get too at least 4/5 year old.

Took the eldest to the JPT trophy game when at aged 3 and she was bored and wanted to go before the game started.

took her and her cousin a year later, he was 6 at the time, enjoyed it loads more both of them there, took sweets, a magazine for half time and drinks. Worked well.
