Jamie0202 12,564 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Never took them and not sure when/if I will. They're 7 and 10 but not really in to football (both girls) Took them to Accies vs Dundee United last season (don't fucking judge me) as they got free tickets from their school. They complained until half time when I decided enough was enough and walked home. Can't see me taking them to Ibrox unless one of them starts taking an interest and starts watching the games on the telly with me. Although not really interested in football my 7 year old does a great rendition of Warburton is Magic Might be hope yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintybear 8,660 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My son was about 8. He was spoiled because we had fantastic players then. He doesn't go as much now because he works away. Started taking my grandson when he was 5 but it was the McCoist era and I think he thought he was getting punished for some reason. He was bored shitless. We bought his first ST last season because he took a bit more interest when McCall was managing us so he actually wanted to go. Last season he thoroughly enjoyed it because we were playing great and more importantly we were winning. TBH he doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much this year because we're not winning as much I hope that changes soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went to hampden years and years ago to see Scotland because she didn't want her brother getting something without her getting it too! Shes 17 now and what I will say is she is a bluenose even though she has no interest in going to games. She hates the tims and recently she was at a house party and the boys started singing the tunes and she said they were astounded when she knew all the words and joined in No matter how much they say they hate it if you've raised them with good values, and more importantly the right CD in your car, then they will come good in the end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 1 and a half, November 2014, 4-0 vs Falkirk. He was actually ok for it but me and his maw where there. i took him to his second one this season, 2-0 vs Annan, Friday night. He was an absolute pain in the hole. He sat really well for the first half an hour then turned into the devil child. Wouldn't sit at peace, started greeting, annoying everyone about us and it was just me that had him this time. Ended up leaving 20 minutes to go. He won't be back for another season maybe more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooseman 889 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My older two were 9 and 8 when I took them to the home play off against Queen of South my daughter was not fussed, she was happy getting a hello kitty rangers scarf. My son loved wants to go more regularly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperpete 3,186 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Took my daughter when she was 4, she is now 34 and hardly missed a home game since, had my granddaughter at the last home game and she was 3, she did really well sitting watching until 70 min when it got cold and she couldnt see as good as the subway loyal were on the move earlier than normal.

BlueboyG 5,319 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My son was about 5 I think, he's now a season ticket holder at 30, he played a lot of football but now feels it the right time to have a ST. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 and a half, he knows when a goal goes in when watching it on the tele and he shouts 'Rangers' all the time but obviously he won't understand what's really happening at the game, he might get a bit overwhelmed by the people and noise, that's my only worry but I think he'll cope.. He won't run about daft I don't think he's quite content. Obviously it comes down to knowing your own child best but I was just wondering when any Dads/Mums on here first took their kids and how they got on? I think I'd take him in the BR as IIRC that's the family section so there will be other kids there which might help? Even if he can get through an hour I'd be happy with that (not with him making me miss 30 mins though) It's been a long 2 and a half years of not getting to Ibrox on Saturday's due to that being one of the days he's with me, I need to get back! Cheers Daughter was 5 before I took her along. Thank fuck for iPads and Nintendo DS is all I can see. She's 10 now and enjoys watching the footie but at the start it was sweets, footie and iPad.

Thewhitesettler 2,712 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I took my son to his first game when he was 8. It was against Hearts, and he absolutely loved it. I think that was about the right age for him, as he understood what was going on. He lost his voice a bit, and due to where we live, it was a while before his next game. I never earned enough money to to take him to games... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluebearDory 3,694 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I would say give it a try and see how it goes but take an iPad and plenty of snacks then you will get some peace to watch the game and won't miss out and hopefully he won't get too bored. You wont know til you try Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first game i was 6 many moons ago against clydebank!! all depends if the weans will sit tbh.... but if its stopping you from getting to the game just take him along maybe take an i pad or something because I'll guarantee he'll be bored after half an hour. me and my bro are taking my niece on Saturday to her 1st game she's 7. Yes my daughters first game was east stirling 5-1 game. She was 4 then, now in her second season as an ST holder. She's also seen us at Hampden, The Piggery and Rugby Park so far this season, hopefully get to a few more away games luck dependent on the CCCS. An expensive hobby following Rangers with kids at times but it is her God given right and who am I to stand in the way of that. She is mad for the Rangers even more so than I was at her age I think.

Guest Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Same as OP, took her for her first game at 2 1/2 got herST the season after, she misses a lot of games but the kids STs are such a good sea that it doesnt matter if she only gets to a handful of games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Took mine to his first game when he was 5. I'm sure it was the playoff game against QotS at Ibrox. I don't really see the point in taking them to a friendly or a "wee game" first to see if they like it. If anything it will make it more of a shock to them when they go to an important match as they'll still be expecting the same laid back atmosphere.

Louden_Greg 827 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Been going regularly since I was 5 and ST from 6 and I was always good for watching the game so it depends on the kid.

Had two kids with me and we were sitting in the back row of the Broomloan Road stand. Up and down every two minutes taking one of them to the loo. On the plus side, we beat the Pars 7-0!
