Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in indefensible double standards when it comes to kids at football. I'll swear and gesticulate when my own aren't in tow but find such behaviour from others intolerable when they are (and of course regulate what I myself do in front of my own progeny).

Since I want the irksome little cash sponges* to keep supporting us, I plan to take them to Wembley for the SF.

I took my daughter to the PO final and was high up with a faraway view. It was okay and generally folks in front were decent about letting her see.

Anybody got recommendations for where to sit with kids at Wembley? The lad is 5. I don't mean blocks just generally where do they get an ok view where fans might generally be ok about not standing too much.

*I love them really**
**on balance

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

I'd go for seats higher up if they're small. I know you're further from the pitch, but the stairs at Wembley up there are quite steep, and they should still see ok when sitting down.

It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
