jazzsaint Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 My wife and I had a baby just before Christmas so he is now just over 6 months old. I fancy taking him to his first Saints game next week but I am totally unsure as what would be the best way to do it? So my question to you is, have you ever taken a young baby to the fitba? Which stand would be best ?(obviously we have a family stand) Any experiences tips and advice would be greatly received. Oh BTW the wee lad is called Niven. it means little Saint! (the Mrs didn't realize why I was so keen on the name haha) cheers in advance Jazz south inch and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Didn't know that about Niven. Great name choice Jazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm thinking about taking the wee one this season. She was 1 in May. I wouldn't have taken her before that as naps and feeding were at the same time as the football. I'll only be taking her down the road to County v Saints so her dad can come get her if she hated it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) From my experience, it's a lot easier to take them to a game when they are still unable to walk/run around. We took my son about 4 or 5 times when he was around 5-8 months old and it was fine. Just make sure you've got plenty of food and a pair of the ear protectors for him - it'll stop him getting a fright every time the crowd jumps up and cheers or shouts! The only issue is the lack of changing facilities at McD - fortunately the closest I got to changing a shitty nappy in the ground was in the boot of the car in the car park about 10 minutes before kick off! I had to take my son to a game when he was about 1 1/2 - 2 years old once - never again. He's now 3 1/2 and can almost manage a game - assuming he has a few toys and loads of food with him.

byebyedundee Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well well What the fff are we talking about guess we gotta be grateful for some saints fans to start boosting the crowd.. I'd go where there is plenty of space so your not pissing off other supporters basically you've got a hell of a lot of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds just like my requirements for enjoying a game, you obviously have a fine sensible wee lad there. Nelly78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzsaint Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Well I managed to get the wee man to his first but hopefully not the last Saints playing in Europe game. Went ok actually. When the opposition scored he started greeting (better get used to that son you are a Saints fan now) just before saints equalised he fell asleep and even managed to stay asleep during the goal celebrations. Half time came and he was still sleeping even through the pipe band going past. He woke up and saw the scoreboard reading 1-2 and started greeting again. Managed to get to 70 odd mins and I decided he had seen enough for one evening. He was also needing a change. So back to the car put the radio on while I changed him and managed to get away before the full time traffic started. Hope his next visit proves more successful with a saints win.
