If you do go for the North Stand Lower get seats as near to the corner flag as you can, people sit there for the majority of the game. If you do however, and it is a wet day, expect to get wet as there is no roof above you as it is not quite covered by the Trinity Roof or North Stand roof.

Have been in North Stand Upper with eldest aged four and it was fine, but was impressed with our first time in the Family Section in lower trinity (near tunnel) for the Everton game (with a 7 and a 3 year old) - good view, good legroom, no-one standing for long and no swearing (a monumental effort on my part during that first half). Cheap too.

And I believe the JV Life thing is free to sign up to on the website.

Been in the upper north stand a few times with the kids and its an excellent view as others have said. The family section is a far more comfortable experience as you would expect in a more modern stand. The stewards there are also really helpful with younger kids.

However, if you want a bit more atmosphere and want to shout the lads on without being looked at like some sort of nutcase I would go for the lower Holte. Me and the kids have season tickets there this season and the two old giffers in the seats behind us have taken to telling the kids stories of being relegated to division three and have promised not swear too much!

No! JV Life £19.95 per year. Good value though if you can get to all 4 of the matches they are offering at £1 a ticket for members!

The North Stand upper offers minimal leg-room. Very uncomfortable indeed.

Ah, forgot about that.

Should be alright for your kids but you might struggle a bit.
