I can't be the only one who shuddered at that prospect. Two is extreme enough for me! I had my 5 brothers and Sisters all aged under 8 under my care at the Stoke game stood in the old Cheadle End where it all kicked off, ended up lifting them on to the pitch out of the way of the scrapping. Someone called Mark Stein a nasty name and it literally went off big time, only my two brothers were ever allowed back after that! There are certainly some away grounds I've designated as off limits until the kids are quite a lot older. Wrexham and Birmingham are in that category for next season - my wife quite fancies a trip to Brum as she has some relatives up there, I suspect they'll have more fun at Cadbury's World than I will in Small Heath!

Changing the topic but I’m gutted to have missed out on a season ticket. 42 years a fan and had a season for years until I moved down south with work. It’s nobody’s fault just is what it is. It’s disappointing when you read on Twitter about people getting their first ever season ticket but my circumstances are nobody’s fault and certainly not the clubs.
I’ll probably just fork out for a corporate one so I don’t miss out on away games at every smaller stadium.

There will be some who don't renew but you will need to get in quick!

Lived in Brum for 3 years and never went to Cadbury World or St Andrews. Hoping to fix the latter this coming season.

While I know it's not me that's bothered you but the only reason it's my first ever season ticket is because I left Stockport when I was 8!

I’ve not got an axe to grind with anyone really as it’s circumstantial. All down to my own life choices really 😁

I,ll throw something else into the discussion. Should under 5,s actually be attending a full football ground. Know i was 7 before i attended my first game and waited till my lad was 5 before he saw his first. There might be the odd fan with zero option but bring their child with them, but there was always an alternative where i was concerned regarding this. OK, so what documentation do I need to show in order to demonstrate that I have no alternative but to take the kids? Can I use the (hypothetical) angry letter from the club in which they threaten to rescind their season tickets in the event of non-attendance? I have taken both mine since 3 months old!

Is there a cap on how many kids season tickets we offer i(In total as I believe individually you can only have 1 per full paying adult) ? Nope. I have two kids tickets with my adult one.

Yes, they absolutely should if they want to. Why shouldn't they attend? We had this with the bag policy stuff but the key is being prepared. They'll get hungry/bored/cold/hot/tired but getting ahead of that is the answer. And they won't want to go to every game, that's fine. But we shouldn't be getting uppity about young kids having season tickets when they're going to be the loyal and die hards of the future. Fine but County should not be seen in its present state as some sort of child minding service when other older fans are having difficulty in attending and a seat is not being used. Then those under 5,s it would be interesting in how many have become die hards iin the past or have moved on to other clubs with their mates or lost interest in football itself or are just going anyway because they know a parent wants them to do. Bit like kids football with parents living their youth again through their kids. You could say the same about adults losing interest and moving on to other clubs too. The kids are the future of the club and the younger you start them the better. Thank fk we have an enlightened president in Stef Bellis and the owner too rather than the a tick in the mud like your good self!

Bit like kids football with parents living their youth again through their kids. How on earth would it be seen as a child minding service? What a bizarre comment. Would you say the same if a parent was taking their kid to the cinema, or bowling, or out for a burger? My lad is with me the whole time, I'm completely responsible for him. If older fans are having difficulty getting tickets then that's their problem, tbqh. The experience of a child is just as relevant/valid as the experience of an adult. Some of my best ever memories are County as a kid. But I didn't go every week. The way some are going on today it'd mean kids now missing out on those experiences.spot on Sue. The kids are the lifeblood and future of the club. Not miserable old scolds like Timbers!

My son's debut was Crawley (a) at just over 5 months old. My daughter's first game was Barrow (a) at just under 2 months.
