I know there are youngsters who seem to take to the occasion immediately and cause no bother.

There are others, unfortunately, who don't, and those kids shouldn't be brought back until they ARE of an age to enjoy it.

And equally unfortunately, there are a lot of parents who can sit totally oblivious for 2 hours while the evil sprog they've inflicted on the world makes everyone around them miserable.

These parents and their children I have encountered at ER, at the cinema, at the supermarket, and at my place of work. Also in the library and once at the National Gallery at an art exhibition. Haemorrhoids, the lot of 'em.

Totally agree with you, Stevie - provided the parents do what you do and control the situation.

As I've said, my guy has never stepped out of line at the football - in fact, he's the one who keeps ME in order these days.
i've encountered a lot more miserable old people at the football than i have kids so the same could be said for the top end of the scale i however think ANYONE who wishes to go to the football should be ABLE to go to the football and if someone is happy with their child asking for mummy etc.. then thats their business EACH TO THEIR OWN
