I'm glad you recall your first match and have such good memories Noddy. I'm afraid I can't remember mine. Apparently I was six weeks old and it was also my introduction to beer. Damn those irresponsible rugby players.Noddy555 wrote:I was taken by my dad to watch my first Rugby match when I was 2 and a half years old. 65 years later I can still remember the thrill of it.

Re: Kids on the terrace?
I appreciate all the above replies but what happens when the youngster (in my case a short arsed almost 5 year old) wants to spend pre match time in the Junior Tigers club ? Then what happens if he is a mascot or one of Welfords little helpers. Their duties only end a few minutes beore kick off.
If they have (like I do since 2000 and the littlun for 2 years) season tickets for the Crumbie terrace and cannot get there because of the above, is he condemmed to stand at the back where they may be space? Because even standing on his litle stool he only comes to crotch height of the average UK male rugby fan. So he gets fed up and doesn't want to come to Tigers again.
I think the answer may be that Tigers should provide a 'family' area on the terrace where small children and 1 or 2 at most of the childs parents or guardians can stand without the fear of not being able to see or the child getting trampled on in the 1/2 time rush to the bar.

For H's dad. I hope you still keep up with your love of beer, we should fill the occasional baby's bottle with it.
Re: Kids on the terrace?
Would it be all right if this exclusive area was down one end in the corner? I'd support that.APJones wrote:I appreciate all the above replies but what happens when the youngster (in my case a short arsed almost 5 year old) wants to spend pre match time in the Junior Tigers club ?

I could never get H in JTC as he always wanted to be on the terrace - which was a pain because I like to sit down.

I do try Noddy, thank you. And so do H and his sister who are the players in the family.Noddy555 wrote:For H's dad. I hope you still keep up with your love of beer, we should fill the occasional baby's bottle with it.
