| Quote Mild Rover="Mild Rover"Maybe I haven't taken into account how many children you'd expect to see - people are only children for a small part of their lives.
And it's not something I've paid that much attention to, so I'm happy to concede the point.
It does seem a bit odd then that Hull's (commendable, I agree) bogof offer hasn't had more uptake. Any ideas on total number of junior passes?'"
I didn't want to sit in the west stand so just paid normal price for the kids in the east |

I know a few people in this camp. Kids passes are excellent value regardless. |

Quote Mild Rover="Mild Rover"Tbh, you don't see that many children at games.
I know this from a Magic weekend, so not necessarily reflective of passholders, but the picture accompanying this article has almost no children in the crowd.
ltjournalism.com/sport-rugby-lea ... c-weekend/
Apart from ball boys and kids' teams playing at half time, I've not seen many children at Rovers. Some that are there are scampering around the play area rather than watching the game.
Maybe it is less of a family sport than we like to think. By the time they're old enough to first really enjoy and appreciate the game, a lot will be want to be with their mates rather than their mum or dad, I guess. And I suspect a lot of young families are time- as well as cash-poor nowadays.'"
I think using Magic Weekend as an example is where you've gone wrong. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm reading the occasion wrong, but my impression is that Magic Weekend is a chance for the adults to have a weekend away, enjoy 6 games of rugby at a bargain price, and have a night out on the Toon...or wherever it may be held.
Kids do get bored easily, mine certainly did, so expecting them to sit through 3, possibly 6 games of rugby is wishful thinking so I certainly wouldn't have taken my kids to the event.
Thankfully my son is old enough to get a round in himself so is allowed to come with us now! |

Aye, that makes sense. I think a lot of the kids in the East Stand at Rovers go down the front to get a better view. Basically, I just posted posted a big pile of wrong.  |

Yeah, it's harder to do that in an all seater stadium so kids do tend to stay with their parents at the KC. I remember the kids at Boulevard doing the same, especially in 3D stand...if they hadn't, they've have been crushed alive at times!! |

They never give the final figure, but over 8k. We might get another couple of hundred last minute but thats probably about it now. |
