john_lcfc Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 what are the club thinking in giving free under 8s season tickets everywhere. i understand there need to encorage under 8s to the ground as there the fans of tomorow but why do we have a family stand? next year there is going to be hundreds of 6 year old children in the kop who cant sit still. i thought the club was concerned about the atmosphere and was consulting the fans in how to improve it? this move is not going to improve the atmosphere. this move is ridiculous as far as im concerned and one positive i can only see if maybe more men kopites who are fed up of screaming 7 year olds will move to L1. yes get under 8s to the games but please in the family stand only. whats your opinions?

Bert Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 This is really silly IMO, at lot of people swear in the kop and the last thing you want is to swear in front of kids or their parents turning round saying to you "Can you stop swearing please?" i thought the family stand was there for a reason but clearly not.

filbertway Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 Your'e both right they should only have free under 8's in the family stand, after all that's what it's for. Unless of course the under 8's are going to sing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, that sort of confrontation will become more commonplace. The stewards will be in their element chucking people out left, right and centre. Maybe even resulting in a ban so the club can re-sell their seat. Or am I just being cynical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to resell seats if the stadium is never full, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 It's a bad decision I agree - they should have kept the offer available only in the 3 stands excluding the Kop. Parents who get their children tickets in the Kop should accept that foul and abusive language is a commonplace and they shouldn't have a right to complain about it.

Foxes_Trust Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 It certainly wasn't a suggestion we put forward, no idea why this has been extended. We would still advise any parents with U8's to sit in the BMI stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still advise any parents with U8's to sit in the BMI stand I think we can safely say the nippers will be back in the BMI Babs stand the season after next.

Jimmy Posted 9 April 2006 Share Posted 9 April 2006 so long as the parents know what to expect and dont moan about me swearing if they go in the kop (as at filbo) i have no complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 10 April 2006 Share Posted 10 April 2006 Exactly. I have no problem taking my niece into the Kop or to away games. The child knows what it can and can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 10 April 2006 Share Posted 10 April 2006 I suppose all of the critics all started watching City from the North Stand then? i started watching in the family stand,that is where the kids should be. how can you create an atmosphere in the kop when half the people there are under 8's? other clubs would simply laugh at us.

Guest Posted 10 April 2006 Share Posted 10 April 2006 I can remember young kids being taken into Pen 2 when we still had standing. There was never any problems. Perhaps the parents want some atmosphere too? Hence getting tickets in these sections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence getting tickets in these sections? maybe they should make the front 5 rows strictly for kids and then the parents can sit at the back, that way an atmosphere could still be created.

I used to go in pen 2 when i was 8, my dad always said, i could say what i liked for 90 minutes but if i repeated it outside the football he wouldn't bring me again, tbh i think it made the footy even more special the fact i could swear.

Craig Posted 10 April 2006 Share Posted 10 April 2006 When i was 8. My daddy had to pay for me, and i couldn't sit in the lower tier of the kop as it was no concession. Nowadays, little brats who are 8, can not only sit in the kop, but also get in for free! Send them to nursery or something useful, half of them don't know what's going on in a football match.

Craig Posted 10 April 2006 Share Posted 10 April 2006 Nurseries arent generally open on a Saturday M'duck Well send them shopping with their mums or sisters then. Anything but have them sat infront of me asking daddy if they can go for a wee wee or have a bag of crisps from the kiosk downstairs every ten minutes.
