I took my 3 year old to the match for the first time. I didn’t know if he would take to it or not, but thought I’d give it a try and hoped he did.

Now 11 years on, he has racked up over 300 games, done 40 odd different away grounds, and Sheffield United are his only topic of conversation.

Still only seen one game that has ended 5-3 though

I think quite a few of us have benefited from United’s pricing policy in recent years. Good for the club, great for family relationships…

Massively. His first 4 or 5 seasons, it was £50 a season for his season ticket and it’s still under £100.

I hope you’ve tagged him at the Lane every time you’ve been since otherwise it didn’t happen.

Quid a kid game. I took my then little 'un too.

I’m not allowed to tag him in at the Lane any more as according to him. I’m embarrassing……

Think you might be right, I remember it being a fiver a game; and the 5th game that season being a freebie.

Free membership of the Junior Blades and an invite to a Christmas party with Captain Blade was also a huge winner too.

As much as I could slag McCabe off, the one thing he did get right was making the Lane as accessible for the kids and pulling all the stops out for them

Hope your little un caught the bug just as much as mine did

Yep, if memory serves they used to do four quid a kid games a season. And my now 18 year old is hooked. Just like I was hooked by free kids tickets back in the Division 4 days.
