So it's your fault then for the years of decline that followed

9 years old 1972
I was 9.
21st of August 1993, a 1-1 draw with Hartlepool at the Goldstone.

By contrast, my first 10 games or so were spread across the mid-90s, not exactly our best period of overall form, but we never lost when I was there.
Perhaps if I'd lived in Sussex rather than Oxfordshire and so could have been taken every week, our history might be very different.

I was 7. The season before we signed Alex Dawson.

First game, in the South Stand, Spring of 1969, aged eleven. Went with an eleven year old mate, and our two 8 year old brothers. Unaccompanied. Wouldn't be allowed today.
We beat Barrow, and each time we scored we threw our bobble hats, knitted by our mums, high into the air. Plenty of room to catch them, nay bother. All standing in the South in those days, and our spot was right behind the goal.

Same for me. As I said earlier I first went when I was 8 in 1966. I'd just moved into the area (Lancing) and I went with some new friends from my new school. The first time we went with some older boys - they were nine. No adults involved at all. And do you know what? We didn't get lost, murdered, abused by paedophiles or abducted by aliens. As you say, if a group of unaccompanied 8/9 year olds turned up at the Amex now there would be a witch hunt and the parents would probably be prosecuted.
This.
