Derbados Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I’m taking my son (6) to his first ever game next weekend against Birmingham. I’ve not been to pp in a while because of work, and wanted to double check where the best seating options are for: A. Being able to see the game / others not stood up in front of him B. Best possible experience for a first ever game, I want that walk up the concourse into the stadium to be as magical as it was for me. Would the East stand toward the North east corner be in standing territory and at risk of view? Or do I play it safe in the North Stand / West stand?

bimmerman Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'd say where ever he can see and sat with his dad it'll be special regardless,don't put yourself under pressure for it to be too magic for him. Enjoy yourself and he'll enjoy it as well richinspain, Ellafella and Derbados 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyPride12 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Taking my son to his first game on Sunday against Birmingham - is there any where that people would suggest is the best spot for a kids first experience at PP? I'm thinking West Stand, near the South Stand so he can experience the atmosphere. Not sure whether Upper or Lower though.

1967RAMS Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 How old is he? West stand is fine if he doesn’t mind the smell of wee. Coneheadjohn, i-Ram and Ram-Alf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is the nervous type, you'd probably be better off in the North stand. If he's a lively boisterous kind of lad, the southwest upper will be fine.

Will probably have to be a quieter area regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's seven but pretty boisterous, loves screaming and shouting etc. Will absolutely love the atmosphere of PP when its good. Sounds like West Stand is the one.

CBRammette Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If you can get south west upper, my boys always loved it there when little - less full on and they can see but right near south stand for the atmosphere. Werent many left there couple of days ago though Waghorny and Carnero 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep out of the West Stand, Old people who moan and critisize, Tut a lot, Eat rusks, Will bring a blanket with them and not like a boistress kid within 100 yards of them. North Stand full of kids and parents, Maybe to quiet for him tho. South West Upper will be spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 North Stand. Took my nephew to his first game there early in the season and it was loud enough for him. Given the circumstances of this game, I expect the noise level to be even higher. Queues for food and toilets are probably shorter than anywhere else in the ground too.

Simmo’s left foot Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 North stand is the family stand. quite a wide spectrum of people there, and a dedicated family area down in one corner I think. Everybody sits, and language is generally not foul. Perfect for kids. Despite what some will say, we all get behind the team vocally too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 North stand and NE corner is fine. Decent enough atmosphere and language generally ok with some minor exceptions (usually me ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Either the 'Gordon Guthrie' stand in the corner. Close enough to the action, but not right in the thick of it; or... The family section in the North Stand if you want a quieter time of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Started taking my five year old daughter this year. We’re in the East Lower. It’s busy and loud without being too boisterous. She loves it. Language is a bit strong sometimes, but she knows what she hears in the real world and what she’s allowed to use are different things (and we could always go in the family stand if I was bothered about that). ossieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think screaming and shouting is allowed in the west stand, best clear it with Angie first. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well I think tough luck then I would shout and chant even louder just annoy them. But I am in the east stand he would be more than welcome or north stand. Two blocks by the away fans in the east stand are gone. I think be about 26k sold so far or around there.

In defence of west stand upper 1. It does not smell of urine, I assume that was a not too subtle dig at the average age of the season ticket holders there 2. You do not have to apologise for the bad language and obscene chants, as per the south stand 3. there is no chance of getting hit by a coked up loser 4. You can get a drink and a pie easily in the concourse 5. You can get to the toilets easily 6. You get plenty of cardiac exercise climbing about 70 steps to get to your seat 7. You can sit feeling smug in the fact that you are contributing more, given the price of your season ticket to the club 8. You get the best view in the ground.
