My son is 9 months and He has attended five or six times now. He doesn't moan or whinge much - just sits there in the baby bjorn and snuggles in. It means I can't jump up and down to celebrate but as I sit in the West stand we are all far too reserved to celebrate properly anyway. It gives my wife an opportunity to spend a bit of time with our daughter and I get to bond with my little boy. what's not to like?
You'd think by now at the Valley the club would have turned one of the hospitality suites into a maternity suite , so the blokes can't miss the matches.
think it's a bit bizarre myself and surely too many circumstances in which the child could get injured
Er, how? If the kid is in a 'chest carrier' then what is the difference between taking it to a football match or to a crowded shopping centre or an airport?
The bloke would have been sitting down in a seat, or standing still, so I don't see what the big fuss is about.
I agree that four games in two weeks might be a bit OTT though.
It was a wind up, but if he was being serious then id be a bit weirded out by it.
My little girl is 3 months old, still only weighs 10lbs and i wouldnt dream of taking her to football.
The difference between a shopping centre or airport and a football stadium is different. Much more of a chance of being bumped into by a pissed up dickhead for a start. Then theres the noise...and the cold.

It's something that the kid will be able to speak about in the future. How many threads has CL had on the 'I was there' basis e.g the last game at The Valley, the return to The Valley, the play-off finals etc etc. This is probably their biggest thing since 1927 (not counting all those Welsh Cup wins) and he'll be on their forum in 50 years time saying 'I was there in 2013, but can't tell you much about it'. If my mum hadn't put her foot down I'd have been at Wembley in '47 if my dad had had his way, but then I suppose 8 months would be considered too old compered to this taffy and some of the next CL generation.
Id be peed off if someone with a very young baby was sat in front of me and I wanted to scream and shout about getting promotion. Imagine if he turned round and said "shhhh the baby is sleeping".

We get a good away point and Valley Gary is having a pop at our fans again as "Pissed up dickheads".

I would rather see a baby at the football than in an airport. Can't stand babies on planes and the pressure on their ears is much worse than the noise of a match.

OK, so its certainly not the norm but some are going off as if it was a disgrace against humanity.
Weird, very weird.

Anyway it's a wind up so don't matter.
Typical
