dannychapman1827@gmail.com Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hello all. Advice needed. My sons (ages 5 and 3) have decided that they're Queen's Park fans despite my attempts to get them to my follow the mighty Brighton and Hove Albion. There's no explanation, they've just fallen in love with them somehow. Anyway, they're desperate to travel up to see a game so what I'm here to ask is what it's like for children of that age? Is it a friendly atmosphere? Something tells me they're in this for the long haul! Many thanks, Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmoor exile Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Obviously two young men of discernment. I'm sure they will enjoy the National Stadium. I have been there many times as an away supporter and never felt threatened in any way. They are bound to be made very welcome provided they don't throw any flares. A nice atmosphere. It can be a bit eerie with a small crowd but at least there is plenty of space in the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hello all. Advice needed.

It'll cost you a quid for each of them...which might make up for the high costs of pies etc. You're in the South Stand at Hampden, which is the biggest & best one. Atmosphere is fine (although 600 people in a ground for 54,000 is a trifle surreal), but there is no mascot as someone stole the head! We have a social club nearby and the kids are more than welcome; snacks available from 1.00pm. They'll love it. I'll PM you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they do like an away game these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannychapman1827@gmail.com Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks for the replies. A quid each for the boys will be welcome after 900 miles worth of petrol. That's a crap way to lose your job, someone nicking your head! Any plans to replace it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hopefully you've got a few pairs of binoculars for the boys so that they can see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're coming that far you might as well take in the SFA Museum and possibly a stadium tour if time permits on a match day. http://www.scottishfootballmuseum.org.uk/ All the history you can cope with here... http://www.queensparkfc.co.uk/?page_id=122 Enjoy yourselves...

dannychapman1827@gmail.com Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thank you, we'll definitely visit the museum. Whilst I've spent many miserable years supporting a truly depressing team south of the border I've always admired Scottish football and it's rich history. You can't be a fan of football and not appreciate what the Scots have brought to the footballing world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It'll cost you a quid for each of them...which might make up for the high costs of pies etc. A quid for a three year old? Ridiculous! Under 12s are free at Forthbank and our pies are a lot cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Under 12s are free at Forthbank and our pies are a lot cheaper! Everybody's pies are cheaper. Do you get the free weans when you buy the pie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannychapman1827@gmail.com Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've heard Danny Chapman's two lads are QP bound. Ha! Not sure if it'd work, I'm sure the eldest is narcoleptic and the youngest genuinely believes he's Darth Vader. Could be entertaining I guess.
