FindernRam Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I said in another thread I thought the average age at matches was going up, i.e. Fewer youngsters at games. I sit in West upper which I know some view as oldie central, but looking around me within ten rows up and down and 5 seats either side that is 230 seats I can only think of maybe 6 or seven teenies or younger. Outside, prematch, there seems to be relatively few kids except for the freebies in North for some games. Whats it like where you sit/stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Middle middle of the East Stand & there's a girl who must be about 5 that sits directly behind me. She's the only under 16 ish I can think of that I've ever noticed close by, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I sit with my 8 year old lad in the North East corner , TBH am lucky because he sits and watches the game and takes in all in, I took his brother on Saturday who is 6 and spent 90 mins eating sweets. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Loads near me in North Stand. As you say, quite a few taking little or no notice of the game and glued to ipads/phones. They are up and down the aisle to the loos all the time too. Think they've all the makings of the next generation of supporters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
