Sorry if this has been asked before, not meaning to be a pain, but my wee lad has reached the age where hes really started to gain an interest in trying to get some autographs of the players.
I have no experience of this so could do with some advice. If I take him to the training ground, will they stop after training to sign at the gate for example - does anyone do that?

Hes small so don't want him crushed in a crowd if everyone is trying on a matchday.

Appreciate any tips or advice thank you!

Andrew, my son wanted some autographs so we headed to the ground early for the Sheffield United game. We got there around 12:20 which was just about right.

They cordon a small section off by the exit to the fan zone (right next to Ticket Collection) for when the players park up and it’s not overly crowded.

I was a little disappointed as we didn’t meet as many of the players as I expected. My son managed to get autographs and a picture with Hennessey, Milivojevic, Cahill and Mark Bright. Kouyate gave an autograph, but we didn’t ask for a picture as he was trying to rush away. Van Aanholt just put his hands up and walked straight through. We were there about an hour and didn’t see anyone else.

I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.

Taken my little ones to the main gate on Copers Cope Rd a couple of times in the last few years and they were dead happy. Most players waved hello or had a quick chat and a selfie. Jimmy Mac, Luka and Jules (at the time) were the most friendly to the kids. Around 9.00 am you catch them arriving.
