I suppose any initiative like this will have pros and cons and won't work for everyone. Getting young kids in is a good idea (before they give their alliegence to a "bigger" team at the other end of the country) but they take a lot of supervision in big groups and can get easily bored and distracted from the match. Perhaps it's worth using a couple of remaining home games to discount the U16 price from £8 to a nominal £1 ("kids for a quid") with a paying adult to boost the youngster numbers. Getting teens is good in that they can get to games with their mates and not need such supervision. But by that age have they already decided to support another team and are just going for a freebie with their pals? Again maybe offer a couple matches of £5 per 16-20 year olds tickets. I do think there is a need to attract younger fans as we all drop off the top end of the scale for various reasons along the way. Attracting them while in a successful period is much easier then when struggling so now really is the best time to get them hooked and wanting to come back.
