My first ever visit to a football ground was Southend when I was 12. Never had an interest but got taken by older cousin. My eldest (who supports Chelsea) went with his brother to a Southend game. Even sitting with the Southend fans he felt very uncomfortable and could not wait to get out. Actually said he would never take his kids there due to the toxic atmosphere.
