I just don't think it's the right environment I couldn't think of a worse place to take them if I tried. Maybe the pub or leaving them with a known paedophile on a sex offenders register for babysitting duties.

Re: Policy on taking babies on Turf Moor
My Daughter was told a couple of years ago when she wanted to take her Son.
That Children under 2 were not allowed in the ground.
Over 2 you could buy a child's ticket for them.
He has watched Burnley play, but not at the Turf.

I don't think they'll allow babies onto the Turf because they could be used as missiles. The stewards will ask you to unscrew their heads before entering the stadium or something.

Yes, it’s a hard call, which must explain why it only maybe might be worse to leave a baby with a known paedophile than take them to a football matchJakubclaret wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 6:58 pmI just don't think it's the right environment I couldn't think of a worse place to take them if I tried.

I'm not sure about babies but supporters have been taking their ankle biters to matches for as long as I can remember, it's hardly something new.
I started taking my screaming lad on when he was 3 years old.
30 years on and he's still screaming.

Would I take a baby to a match myself? No.
I don’t think it’s a suitable environment - the noise, the volume of people, the potential for issue before, during or after.
We’ve read a few times on here, only this season, about issues in the home stands. I simply wouldn’t want to risk it.
Four, perhaps five or so is about the right age to start going, I think, but even then, attention span, noise and potential for trouble / issues can be a problem.
You can control what you do, you can’t necessarily control the idiots that might be around you.

Re: Policy on taking babies on Turf Moor
I was sat next to a young couple with a baby in a papoose a couple of games ago. The baby only looked about 3 weeks old, I asked if it was their first game, and they said it was their second.
I don't know any official policy, but if this baby was allowed in then any baby will.
Good luck to them.

Re: Policy on taking babies on Turf Moor
Ive seen lots of little babies on the Turf and away over the years. Parents can usually be trusted to look after their children's health and safety.
Waited until my son was 3 years old but that was mainly due to covid and wanting to start on games in warmer weather - friendlies/early season or late.
Also taken him back-packing across the world, music festivals and a numbe of other places 'babies shouldnt go' from a young age.

Took my son at 3 ISH to a pre-season game, thinking a quiet introduction.
Ended up sleeping most of the 1st half. And was the notorious German game called off at half time, so he saw pretty much nothing.

2. Like I said before, it means that going to the match will become a habit before it reaches the 4-5-6 age group where doing anything different might be anathema to the child.
3. It gets to spend quality time with Mum or Dad doing things that Mum or Dad like.
Let's try and assume two things. One - children don't come to a set pattern; they are all different. What is right for one may not be right for another. Two - parents are the best judges of what is right for their child.
If a babe in arms is not upset by a football crowd, should the baby and its parents be prohibited from entry just because people who don't know them have deemed that it ought to be upset?

He's had a reply to his email in case anybody else ever dares suggest taking a baby on. He needs to buy a ticket in the same block even though she'll be sat on his knee. I've suggested that he feeds her and let's her sleep or entertained if awake whilst on the game then she won't annoy everyone else around us. He's suggested trying this next time they take her to a restaurant in an afternoon...

If people want to take babies on it should be at their own risk,maybe a seperate area possibly utilising some of the disabled area,I never took mine on until they started infants,ditto the grandchildren I'd be worried about anti social behaviour in the area or an accidental spillage of a hot drink for example. If someone sat next to me with a baby I wouldn't be bothered but I'd be cautious about jumping up etc if there's a goal or an incident and catching the baby or parent.

I know the h of s personally so I'll speak to him.
The decision on taking their daughter will probably be made 100% at around 30/60mins before kick off by both my granddaughters parents with the weather playing a major part. Most of the points in the pdf have already been taken into account and my son is fully aware that he may be going home 5 minutes into the game, but that's the same for anywhere that they choose to take their daughter.

Comparing the severity of somthing with leaving your child with a paedophile is a pretty sick and stupid thing to say.
