Dragonslayer1981 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm taking my son to watch his first villa game against swansea and i am wondering if it would be best to take him straight to stadium or if there was any kid friendly places, my first instinct would be to take him straight to the game considering most the places ive been in before the game are quite packed. he's only 3 so no chance of me drinking the missus would kill me.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 There's plenty of places around where kids would be welcome (although yes they are obviously very busy) - but 3 is perhaps a touch too young and for a first experience I'd say go straight to the game. You can always grab a pie and a beer inside the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Could always pay to get into the Holte Suite. They have tables etc in there so it should be about as suitable as it's going to get around a football stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If the weathers nice just chill out across the road in the park! Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claretman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'd go straight to the stadium. Do a complete lap of the outside to soak it all up, go around the club shop, buy him some tat, then an ice cream. Sorted. That's what I did when I first took my lad who was 5 at the time. He loved it and it hooked him. (It did help we won that day mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer1981 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 sounds good claretman he'd love that always said i'd take him when he was 5 but the little monster kept asking to go, hopefully he loves it and doesn't end up supporting the missuses football team lets just say it'll be fun when we play sunderland in our household.

I would have suggested that but it's season ticket holders only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 i can use holte suite as i have a season ticket, they moved me especially for this game so i could take my son Holte Suite would be great. Especially upstairs although that section wasn't open for the Tranmere or Everton game but it was open every game last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I can personally vouch for the play area outside on Trinity Road. The climbable space rocket is probably my favourite, but the slide is a bit of a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for you he falls asleep by half time, then he won't be asking to go home cus he's bored, even though its 7-7 and we have come back for 0-7 down.... Your a brave man!

CI Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Took my lad when he was 2. He sat still for the first 5 mins of the game but then the remaining 85 mins were running about the stands chasing him as he'd lost interest in the game. Good luck.

choffer Posted September 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm taking an 8 yr old autistic kid with me. Still trying to persuade him that he needs to keep his allegiances on the qt as he is prone to jumping up and down like a maniac whenever Swansea score on motd. Bit worried that sort of thing won't go down too well in the lower Witton lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah but with autism, he might visualise a goal and start celebrating anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
