If you go on there now it asks you which stand
It has done for a few years.  My uderstanding is that it doesn't make any difference what order you are offered a ticket, it's more a market research thing.  Certainly when your turn comes you can pick any available seat in the ground.

Serious question - is there any point taking a two year old to a football match?

Do they have any idea what is actually going on?

I genuinely have no idea - no kids, see.

I can't speak for anybody else, but it wouldn't be my idea of fun.

I took my kids (different games)  son & daughter when they were three. Son was asking me about Hercules all game and when he was coming back out. My daughter fell asleep ( a night game). So in a word , no . I think 4 maybe 5 years is a better age to take the kids down for their first game.

I'd say older. Especially as toilets are a disgrace. Queues for refreshments are a waste of time.

Absolutely no point but I still took my eldest lad when he was 3 against Norwich some 31 years ago
My youngest was five all he did was eat crisps and sweets the whole time it was against Chelsea he had no clue which team was even Villa,
But I’m still glad I did it, My two girls were a lot older when they went to their first game

I don’t buy programs anymore but I have all the programs of All my kids first games, it’s a bit of a rite of passage you don’t always understand what’s going on but it might mean something later on

Like I’ve always said especially if you don’t live in Birmingham
‘ you’ve got to get them while they’re young or they’ll end up supporting someone good‘

My eldest is 6 in December and I took him to the Everton game last season as his first and I think it was overwhelming and we left at half time so missed all of the action. Saying that, he’s been to 6 games since then and is now football mad. Seeing him celebrate when we score is better than us actually scoring!! Take loads of sweets, go to the fun zone and the park before the game and don’t park your car too far away would be my advice.

Get that but 5 or 6 is a different thing altogether to a 2 year old.

I assume, anyway

My daughter was 6 when she went to her first game this season, and she loved it.

After a big row with my ex-wife who didn’t want me to go to a game even though the arrangements had been in place for weeks I ended up taking my son aged 3 rather than back down. We were stood on the Holte and I had to carry him for the whole 90 minutes but the Villa won and I like to think so did I.

The age of a child is irrelevant to the bond you build in suffering together. The sooner you harden them to it the better.

TBF the less you understand what is unfolding in front of you, the more fun it is.
