DarrenRatcliffe Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Okay, so I'm showing my age - I believe it's the Pentagon stand now Used to have a season ticket in the Chaddy and coming to my first game in years and years - in fact, I'm coming back as a full time supporter again My son is 5 and has been to a couple of matches and doesn't like the cheering when people score - scares him a bit - so was thinking half way line in the George Hill stand as opposed to the Chaddy. Good idea or disagree? Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjonesyyoafc Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Main Stands definitely your best bet for people keeping quiet, but there's a lot of moaning and swearing in there, maybe the corners in the Chaddy or the far corner of the RRE are your best bet for quietened cheering?

ghostofcecere Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Miles more singing in the Main Stand than the Chaddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) There's a "family section" in the chaddy at the side closest to where the lookers was. Never say there myself but is imagine the people there are decent enough to watch their language etc Edited February 20, 2013 by RoytonLatics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcforever Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Good crack in Main Stand paddock & plenty of singing & banter with the opposition bench, if you don't want too much noise definately go in the Chaddy End as only time any noise in there is the big cup games.

Remember taking my lad when he was 5 and he used to start crying when we scored but it was during the pinch me years and we were scoring for fun!! Get him in the perimeters of the RRE and move him closer to the centre as the weeks go by and he'll gradually get used to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Eee in my day we used to get left clinging to the metal pitch side perimeter fence for 90 mins. Chaddy was standing and 5k full of noisy chanting neanderthals and not a clue where your parent/guardian was standing. Unless I went with my black mate whose dad was easy to spot.

That's reet and we kids used to get lifted over people's heads in the crowd - mind you, I think that's an arrestable offence nowadays.

Fruitygoo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Haha - brings back memories... At 10 years old, I had no idea where my dad was - he was stood somewhere at the back of the paddock and i was leaning on the advertising boards against the opposition dugouts....Im sure he had an eye on me :-) Brilliant!

GuyGermanLatic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) At 9 I was watching Latics getting thrased 7-1 - glory supporters! I'd go for the Chaddy close to the Lockers as mentioned. Think the RRE can get a bit noisy regardless of how far away you sit from the super-ultra ultras.

Heath Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) My nephew didnt like the Chaddy against Liverpool partly because there was a scuffle bewteen Latics nad LFC fans and an old fella behind us kept shouting *SIT DOWN* which he thought was directed at him and was scared to stand up when Latics attacked. Good job he didnt go in the 70's when I used to go in Chaddy!! Bloody hell it was murder, scraps every week, hot pies and bovril used has missiles, when Latics scored it was bedlam I used to get pushed right down the front of the chaddy, in the end I gave up and went back in the Paddocks!!! haha Oh and he mastered the *:censored:* sign in the Chaddy aswell at the Liverpool match becuase he saw someone in front of us doing it to Brad Jones he thought he could do it, still doesnt quite understand why it is classed has rude, how do you tell a 9 year old that???? Try the family section of the haddy it might be a bit better int here. Janet Edited February 21, 2013 by Heath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in the Main Stand on the halway line and here is very little moaning or swearing around me - just the occasional snore and steady hum of pacemakers...

DarrenRatcliffe Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ha ha thanks everyone - it's just left me even more undecided - I will decide at the moment the woman at the ticket office asks me where I want to sit. £10 for a junior season ticket - bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the rules are for a 5 year old, surely they don't have to pay £10 a week, somebody might be able to clarify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisA Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Fine to carry young ones over for league games but was told to pay 20 quid for a 4 year old for Liverpool and Everton games. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sat in the Main Stand Upper for a number of games, yes there is the odd person moaning but it's nothing worse than what you get in other parts of the ground there are a lot of neutral people who sit in the Main Stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 You should have brought him during the wasteland that was late October to Mid January .......apart from cup ties very little chance of any loud cheering as we didn't exactly score veryo ften.

broady 29 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I take my 8 year old grandson in the far end of the RRE about half way up. It's ok there and he'll have a good view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
