No baby-changing facilities.

Really? Not even in the disabled toilets?

Not when I had Fred with me a few years ago when we popped in to one of the open training sessions.

In fairness, it would have needed a big table

I find that most surprising given the push for inclusivity in modern football.

He'd certainly be better at dribbling *boom-tish emoticon*

I wouldn't recommend ever taking a child of that age to a game. Aside from the obvious inconvenience of having the child there, it's no fun for them, for those around you  and most importantly it's not good for their ears to experience that level of noise.

A few years ago I went with my cousin who took his lad to his first game. His lad had just turned 5 at the time and seemed to me to be just about the right time

It can't be much fun for the parent but if they're happy enough to put up with it then fine.

Taking babies on flights is something that should be avoided at all costs particularly if I'm on that flight.

I took my boy, Ellis (6 at the time) to Villa Park on a non-match day. I tied him to the railings at the top of the Holte Stairs and took photos of him.
He also had a pee on various parts of the ground - luckily nothing more significant.

He wasn't allowed in the club shop.

I wouldn't have taken him when he was little either, he was a right little bastard.

He wouldn't be the first Ellis to piss on various parts of the ground.

My boy first went at 4, against Hull but in the spring.

I was worried but needn't have been - he loved it.
