AIBU to say our 14yo can't go to the football on his own?.

Our 14yo thinks I'm the worlds worst mum for saying he can't go to the premiership football game this weekend on his own.
DH & DS1 have season tickets but DH is working this weekend so they can't go.
We tried to find someone else to take him but unfortunately there is no one else who can and I have to look after DS2.
He's a sensible lad but it's an hour away (he can get the train) and although the crowd are usually good natured it's 50,000 people and the drunk prays are usually on the train.
He can go to the next one.
AIBU?

My 14 year old goes to championship matches with his friends, half an hour away. I prefer to drop off and pick up but he has been on the bus before.

You usually have to be 16+ to travel on a club coach unaccompanied.

We had the exact same thing happen. I think I did relent for a daytime match around 14 but it was on condition the guy with the seat next to his dads season ticket took him to the tube station and got him on the tube. I knew he could make the journey across london home ok it was coming out of the ground I was worried about. His dad has been sitting next to the same guy for 20yrs so trusted him to get him to the tube. He’s 18 now and making the journey from Uni in Warwick!

Can a friend go with him? My 13 year old has gone with friends who had a spare ticket a few times now on their own.

I should imagine the game has long gone now - not sure why people have started commenting on it again today.

Did he go? It was my club they were playing and most of our fans are Middle Aged men who couldn’t organise a riot if they tried to. Eddie Howe was our manager and at least 2 of our players play for Newcastle so no animosity at all

if you could pick one game he could go to alone this would have been the one in my opinion.

I think the match is over considering this thread is from September.

Yeah was just interested to know if he went …

ANOTHER ZOMBIE THREAD.
