If adults were to persistently run up and down the gangways of the stand they would be thrown out.  Children should be treated no different.  I can fully appreciate the health and safety issues, too.

But we cannot afford to not make kids (and effectively their parents) welcome as they are essential if we are to progress as a club.  How many regular kids (ie those who come to watch the game) are there usually in the main stand?  It might be an idea for people with kids to be directed to the family stand as opposed to the main stand.  Otherwise, give them a free ticket for the terraces instead if need be.

He could be a very good source of publicity for the club as he was in the late 80s, and we still do get attention through him in some ways. 

I don't think all celebrities who go to clubs are parasites, particularly if they do generate good publicity for the club - which Frank has done in the past. 

I just think he needs to come along to a few more routine league games than just turn up for an FA Cup match.

To answer one question I believe he still lives in Hale, but not certain where.  I thought he lived near Alty Grammar but I could be wrong.  And to answer another question no I don't think he'll ever rejoin the board! 

The Beautiful Game incidentally is a brilliant book.  The chapter about Crewe is essential reading for any small club like oursleves.
