She is probably 26 stones by now!
I'm sure he is Ok and he's with his mates but as a 'cool' dad myself, I understand. I used to go regularly with my mates and brother from the age of 10. My first mstch was aged 7, my brothers 10 and 17 respectively. Wonderful memories of Wolves in the 70s. I took my eldest son to his first match when he was 3 but have not let him go on his own yet but we are based in London. He's Wolves mad thank God. The kids are the life blood of any club. Sort of wish we could do more kids for a quid and get more of the local kids down to Molineux so they can experience what a lot if us did when we were young. Those were the days! These are the days.My lad is 13 soon and wants to go to some games on his own (with his mates).
And I thought I was a cool dad ! Oh well
I was just wondering what age kids are allowed to go in the ground unattended?
I went to my first game unattended when I was 12 (played Southampton - Shilton was in goal). But those were different times and I'm unsure if there are rules around this now?
Pretty certain it was Boxing Day too , maybe 1994 ?
93/94 season I think mate. You could be right, it was definitely around Christmas time.
It’s a strange thing mate, I remember some things from years ago clearly, loads of goals, Paul Cook getting the ball straight in his *******s at Birmingham, Mark Atkins being pushed into the fence at Southend, a brilliant Mike Stowell save against Bolton etc but other things don’t stick at all. I know Bright scored against Barnsley at Molineux at few months ago, I was there, I would have definitely seen it but Iv got absolutely no memory of what the goal looked like??
Yeah it was 93/94 so it was Boxing Day 93 ... went to about 12 home games that season as an 11 year old then had first season ticket in the south bank the season after ...
Christ how tall were you then?!
I wouldn't trust some kids I've taught at the age of 13 to travel to and from school without getting up to mischief. Others I would almost trust my life with them. It entirely depends on your lad, matey.My lad is 13 soon and wants to go to some games on his own (with his mates).

Iv got an idea why that may be mate...I honestly couldn't recall with any detail the games earlier in the season, never mind 15 years ago.

I’m exactly the same. I can remember that goal clearly. I also remember the south bank chanting “gypo” at Ricky Otto all night which is a bit strange looking back!
30 years ago!!!!!!!!!
As Edge would say, "I love it!"
But it doesn't work like that for most people. Old memories don't fade as fast as new ones. My old man is 93 and he can still give you a blow by blow account of the 1949 FA Cup SF, but not what he had for breakfast this morning. Different parts of the brain are affected differently. Short term memory is one of the first things to go.I honestly couldn't recall with any detail the games earlier in the season, never mind 15 years ago.
I’m shocked that the Oxford game we were on about was in 1994. That means that my V flicking daughter was only 4.
I’ll pull her bloody pigtails when I get home.

She still has pigtails in her late twenties? Maths ain’t your strong point, is it?

Some call it a "senior moment" but there could be other reasons. two foot two...I have shrunk a bit since then
I wish mate....50 years ago
I know the feeling. My eldest is 25; she was dreadful as a teenager and although she's calmed down a lot she has her moments which are a lot worse.
think i was 9 in 1967
