I took my 6 and 8 year old to the Sheffield Utd. The youngest was bored and wanted to home after 30 minutes, he ended up playing games on my phone for the rest of the match, ironically the one that kept his attention the longest was a football game😀

I was 6 when my dad took me to Blackpool v Sheff Utd in division one (April 67, 1-0 to Utd). We stood in the West paddock (South end) and I was cold. I only cheered up when I was bought a Bovril and a KitKat. We left early. After that my dad left it until August of the new season: a 4-1 defeat to Millwall. However, by then I got it and never looked back.
 
My girl was 3 wasn’t bothered about the game wanted to draw and was bored
She got older went to her first away game at 5
Missed the boycott years
Now she’s 12 asks me who we playing Google’s the team where they are in the league and loves it
Hates us losing and loves it and tells all her mates she’s proud she supports Blackpool rather than other teams like Liverpool and Man U
 
my lad first game was at 2 but was a regular from being 4 as was I and my grand children started at 4 too good age but my lad used to sing the songs all week for the first few games lol

On Molyneux. That's nobber speak!

More importantly my first 50,000 crowd meanwhile must have been one of our finals, at which point I was an adult. 50,000 as a child, at night must have been a hell of an experience. 👍
 
My old man used to take me at three and I used to make him take me home at half time.
I’d say try one of the preseason friendlies. I took the nephew to the last Lancaster friendly and he loved it. We always create an atmosphere regardless of numbers.
 
My grandad took me to my first game in October 1966,when I was 6. Burnley V Blackpool at Turf Moor. My grandad actually took us to watch Burnley as we only lived 3 miles away in Padiham, but I remember preferring the colours of the away team that day! 😂
 
All the north is standing I'd take him to the north east with a big bag of sweets, download a couple of games on your phone as backup he'll be fine
 
I wasn't taken until I was 5 in 1964. I think being of school age helps because you are more used to mixing with other people

I GENUINELY THINK IT WAS THE MAGIC OF A NIGHT MATCH THE LIGHTS THE ATMOSPHERE THE RESULT ALL MADE IT SPECIAL.

I'm disturbed by all these suggestions to take a big bag of sweets. Surely that will pep him up too much. Maybe something a bit less likely to affect him, like a pint of Fosters. 👍
 
I took all my kids 4/5 years old but would start in the family stand whilst they get used to the atmosphere.
 
I’ve been taking my son since he was 4, don’t get me wrong he doesn’t always watch the full game but he loves the atmosphere and the match day experience. He’s 7 now and absolutely loves it! This is an unbelievable time to be a Blackpool fan and in my opinion you couldn’t get a better start at being a Seasider then now! The Season Ticket prices for kids are next to nothing too 😊
