Maybe the right thing to do but the timing is just so off. How can the timing be off? The last home game of the season is the last home game of the season. This wasn't dreamt up following the Sawansea defeat, it has taken months to plan. And to tbh, if we had beaten Bristol and Swansea everyone would be drooling. |

Kids having fun what's the problem. Maybe one day they'll become ultras More likely be scarred for life. It’s not going to be a pleasant afternoon if things go askew… Football must be oh so different in the States. Like going to the pictures or something. I think that there’s a cultural difference definitely. Over there, it’s entertainment, an enjoyable day out whatever the result, go with the family, have some food and drink, see people sing and dance, paint your face, clap along. Whereas the result is everything to us and nothing can sugarcoat it or make that better. |

Let's do a lap of honour as per last home game of the season as well then? They aren't reading the room, and now they're encouraging kids to come down and whack bloody bam bam sticks whilst seeing us relegated to a team who did the same 20 years ago, whilst potential trouble brews? Total misjudgement from the club. Have a word Justasmithers |

If we don't encourage kids to come to games and enjoy themselves then we really are fooked. They certainly aren't going to be hooked on the football at the moment are they ? |

Jesus Christ. How to get relegated and lose any remaining dignity. I'm actually baffled. At the very least they could have provided us with wooden ones to clout the Birmingham lot with if they send us down. |

This wasn't dreamt up following the Sawansea defeat, it has taken months to plan. And to tbh, if we had beaten Bristol and Swansea everyone would be drooling. But we didn’t beat BC or Swansea and we are downstream without a bloody paddle. I understand the planning but the optics are just terrible. Imagine if we are 3 nil down at half time and the lads haven’t had a shot on target again? It could be bedlam. They should take the draw offline and do it in the Summer alongside the sale of season cards imo. |

This is not the game to be bringing kids to their first match. |

They could be handing 20 pound notes out and some would say it’s a disgrace.
As for kids at the game. We are hardly Millwall. As long they are ok with some shouty sweary silly men (and women where i sit) and parents are sensible trouble is very easy to stay away from.

At least it’s cheaper than the golden gamble tickets and the prizes are mostly better… Who’s going to be bold enough to post back on here if they win something and we’re relegated by 5PM? 🤔🤔 I can also understand why they’ve not put a Town season ticket in the prizes as well… 😉 Or is it because the prizes are from E Buyer, so I suppose a Barnsley ST would be more apt? I’ll get me coat… I was a regular E Buyer in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Weren’t we all? Would certainly help us all feel happier 😀 |

Will it go to the actual face in the seat or the ticket holder for that seat. We tend to spread out as our row has got more and more sparse over the season! 1. Will go to the HOLDER of the ticket. Whomever bought it 2. Early halftime announcement 3. Wait till we introduce halftime baby races next season Point 2, why not do the draw at say 3-15, obviously not over the tannoy, then get the stewards to inform winning seat holders , so they don’t go to the concourse at half time , so bar revenue is not affected ?? |

Are you seriously moaning that bar takings will be down cos 15 ticket holder winners, who may not have been going to the bar anyway, can't get to the bar at half time? |

It’s not a moan at all, just a suggestion. If you have to actually be in your seat and say 5000 go to the bar/concourse , that’s a big chance some of the winning seats won’t be occupied. |

Surely you don't have to be in your seat? If it's mine, it's not a "big chance" it'll be unoccupied more like a 100% f*****g certainty. More chance of us staying up than there is of me making it to full time without a p*** after two (possibly two and a half) pints. |

A great idea to bring in kids to become the next generation of fat depressed borderline alcoholics to replace us lot in enduring HTAFC in the future |

Now it’s been deemed Saturday is not the place for boom boom sticks, children or prizes i’m concerned what’s next. I’m hoping it’s still a place for a pint and maybe a pie.

As long they are ok with some shouty sweary silly men (and women where i sit) and parents are sensible trouble is very easy to stay away from. Exactly, young kids won't even notice anything with the atmosphere, they'll just be messing about with their mates, kicking the chair in front, asking their parents for sweets and going to the big twice each half. And hopefully having a great time with their stick things no matter what the result. Feels like some people can't separate the on pitch performance with the club in general. The marketing team aren't going to cancel everything because the team are shit. Worst case they'll hear some naughty words which will just make the day even more exciting for them! |

Not a fan of the Bam Bam stick. Assume they are plastic vs the paper recyclable clappers.
Think the draw is a good idea and maybe something more regularly occurring but not for Saturday after such a difficult season.
Maybe something to do next season

Just make sure the hundreds of kids attending their first game are in the family stand.
This game is going to get very nasty if these jokers put in a 'performance' like last week and many other games this season.

This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of. Fancy having that little nouse to think this is a good idea in such an important game.
It needs to be a fucking bear pit of an atmosphere for this game not like an episode of Gladiators.
Kids don't need plastic sticks to get into football. All I wanted when I was 7 was to see a good game and some atmosphere when I first started at Leeds Road. I was enthralled of the chants and humour.
Reels of cluelessness. I don't like false things like this and vuvuzelas
Get in the sea for me.
