I've tried that but his mates are going nuts over it! [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 16:14]

I really don't envy you here, where do you sit? I sit in the lower north so if my kids want my ticket I have an excuse to say no haha |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yes, an obvious solution. That will be a big match and almost certainly sold out too. |  |

He'd be with someone, so that's not the issue. I'll try and get a seat on my own if I can, I think....win win then. |  |

I think he is going to go whether I go or not....really want him to 'feel' PR rocking but also to get the 'emotion' of it all...even if the worst happens. |  |

That's the best post I've read in years. The fact a 13 yr old and his mates are going mad for it and are engaged, excited and wanting to go to games is a world away from what the kids of the last 20 years have had to endure. I've got a 17 and 13 year old, and my biggest disappointment of their time growing up is there's been nothing at all to get them interested in going to games, and they simply take the p1ss out of me as to how bad we are. "Ipswich Town Fail Club" is their usual nickname for us. |  |

Good post. My missus' kids (12 and 9) are fully engaged with Towun now. The youngest has seen 18 goals in her last 3 home games - 6 vs Northampton in the Pizza Cup, 9 vs Aveley in the Youth Cup, and 3 vs Oxford. She thinks we're the greatest football team ever, which of course we are. |  | |  |

OOH. That is a tough decision. He's at an age where he'll be football daft no doubt. And you will have seen bigger and better games. |  |
