At what age....

[Monty]

did you first take your kid(s) to the match? Thinking of taking my lad but he's very young. Any advice?

Mods: Feel free to move to the appropriate forum.

I've no kid's but I was taken to my first by my father when I was 3.

yep on this subject, I was taken by my dad when I was about 7 and was completely bored the whole time. It took me till I was about 15 or 16 to become even remotely interested in footy.

So don't loose heart if he doesn't take to it straight away either, not sure how old he is like.

Thanks for the advice

If you're looking to make a living off them later on in life, get them involved in the footy as much as possible ASAP.

Wise you are sir

I didn't take my boy untill he was 16, it costs a lot to go to a game from where I live and I figured if I went alone I would save enough money by not taking him to go to two games.

At 16 he was already working and could pay for himself.

Took both my girls last year when they were 9 and 7. The 7yr old is the fanatic and loved it. Upper Cent may be best for the youngster to get a great view.

I went to my first Liverpool match with my grandfather when I was 6 and I've taken both my sons to watch their first game when they were 7.

My eldest watched his first game from the Main Stand and the youngest watched his first game from the Kop when we played Blackburn this season.

Thanks for all your replies gents. My lad is far too young. I know, I know it sounds daft but I live overseas and the chance doesn't come up very often. I just want to be able to say that I took him to Anfield when he was a nipper.

Once again thanks for your advice.

My boy won't be going till he's 6 or 7.

I waited till my lad was 8 and immediately wished id taken him sooner. He'd only been to lower league football before (the typical 1 man and his dog watching) and the look on his face when he saw the stadium, Shankly Gates etc was priceless, only to be matched by 2 increasing looks of wonderment when Robbie shook his hand as he got off the team coach and when he walked up the steps and saw the pitch for the first time.

Will stay with me for ever.

If youve got a chance then take him, anything over 4 or 5 would be ok. Your circumstances are the same as mine and you dont get the chance to go that often so grab it with both hands, you wont regret it.
