Kids in Loyalist Section

Just a friendly reminder that people who want to bring the young ones to the Loyalist section should do so. As per our mission statement we should allow them to the front so kids can see...

We want to be family friendly, as such we shouldn't banish people with kids to the back or other sections...

Thanks for being awesome everyone...

And also a reminder that that means we have to keep it clean for the kids! Of course, I'm probably reminding the wrong people. I bet the ones that are shouting the profanity and waving their finger (you know which one) are not on this board.

But just in case...Keep It Clean!

Agreed, this was great at England/Chicago, and the kids we invited up front and their dads were very appreciative. Thanks for bringing it up again.

Yeah... and let us short 5'4" ppl up front, too! 🙂

You may want to provide them with earplugs. 😉

Yes! I had one ear plug in for the match against chicago, (so i could follow along with the chants but to keep the cowbell from killing my ear drums). Needless to say, my ear was ringing the entire night.

bring ear plugs if you intend to bring your kids.

My daughter is older, 13, but she had a ball in the Loyalist section.

I've made a point in the past to say "when my kids get older, we'll be in the loyalists section". I guess I should clarify.......My 6 yr old had a tumor removed from his neck, just behind his ear, in March. Even with an ear plug, his hearing is extremely sensitive. When the noise level does become unbearable to him, I usually wrap his head with his scarf and hold his ear to me. It usually happens a couple times a game, but he still has an absolute RIOT!! He gets excited for every match. If anyone I've talked to thought I didn't think the section was ok for kids, I apologize. EVERYONE I have met from the Loyalists have been NOTHING but kid friendly. You guys are wonderful,but...... (bless everyone of you) LOUD!!!!! I would recommend the Loyalist section for all families! I look forward to the day........... 🙂

..also I hope there are lots of kids around the stadium who think "someday I want to cheer with the Loyalists" but their family seats are in another area of the stadium. That will augment our numbers as years go by, and also make people more and more appreciative of our group. A "rights of passage" so to speak.

Yeah, I thought the little boys who were "streaking" at the front of the north section on Saturday should've been over by y'all. *In case you missed them, they all had their brand-new Jr. Loyalist shirts on their heads. Too bad by that time, hardly anyone in N25 cared enough to cheer.
