No idea. I don't know if it's been done in previous pre-seasons. Either way, it seems to have been done without any information and notification. A bit like when they just stopped putting away tickets on general sale without any explanation or justification.

I'm glad I read this because, for the Burton pre-season game, I was just going to go in the home end on the side terrace, as it's a great place to watch football. However, having read on here that away points are given I got a ticket in the away end instead. I can confirm that I did get an away priority point for it. I don't agree with giving them out for pre-season games though. Should be competitive games only.

I also got the link to update my details. Decided to try to update them (which I been trying to do for several years) assuming the page maybe now works properly seeing as they've sent out a request for people to check them. But no, the optional Address Line 2 (into which somehow they've duplicated the town part of my address), still can't be cleared because 'Address Line 2 is required', even though the screen clearly says it isn't. And no, my obsolete old home phone number can't be cleared. With this field it allows me to clear the number and save it, but despite confirming 'details successfully updated', it's still there!

If that's correct, and the club can sell as many season tickets as they want in L1, (instead of it being capped at, I believe approx. 22,000), the problem would be if/when we get promoted, if the season tickets are e.g. 2,000 above the cap then 2,000 season ticket holders would presumably have to give them up. Not sure the club would want the hassle that would come with that. That's assuming it was a cap imposed by the league. If the cap was a club decision then I guess then could choose not to reapply it. Anyway, I'd expect they'd still want the cap anyway. If there's 26,000 seats available after away and corporate allocations, I'm sure they'd want to keep a few thousand free for single match tickets sales (which make more money).

I don't count players that initially joined on loan but then signed permanently, so I'm going for Kevin Campbell, with an honorary mention to Mike Galloway who I remember being great for the short time he was with us (maybe just a 1 month loan?).

I was at the game. I looked around every block and all of them appeared to be just under half full. interestingly, there weren't some blocks more or less full than others, all were about the same, meaning the reason(s) for not coming were spread evenly through the various demographics, and surprisingly the family end was just as 'full' as the other end. Stadium was definitely under half full though. 14,000 was my guess, although 12,500 isn't unrealistic. Some people say it wasn't the boycott that was the primary factor, but almost 30,000 people were there for game game against Derby the previous Monday and all the reasons for not going, apart from the boycott, were there for that game too. Absolutely the boycott was the primary factor.

I've got friends and family who are ex-season ticket holders with home and away points and they are now unable to go to any away games as the club now refuses to sell tickets to them, even when it looks like they won't sell out. It's ridiculous.

Yes that's exactly the same as mine. It doesn't have my name, just the supporter number and block/row/seat, and the 'Show Code' option below. I've got Android 16 on a Google Pixel.

Not had a digital season ticket before, and I've downloaded it to Google wallet. Unlike for some cup games in recent seasons, where the Google wallet item said e.g. Leicester City vs Opponent with the date of the game, this just has a dash with FortressGB under it. Is this how it's supposed to look? When i select it from the wallet I can access the ticket for the Sheff Weds game which looks ok, but I expected the main item that's in my wallet to at least say LCFC Season Ticket or something. Is everyone's the same?

Among the many issues with the way the club is run, this in my opinion is one of the worst. I've got friends and family who used to have season tickets, in some cases for more than a decade, who are now unable to buy a ticket for any away game, and the majority of home games, in recent seasons. It's an absolute disgrace. Preston is a a game where we could continue to get additional blocks up to 6000 tickets, and the one game of any where it should be be going to general sale, and yet I'm waiting to know one way or another as I'm planning to potentially go with non sth/members, but have no idea if/when they are going to able able to get their tickets. Until then, I can't get mine. Just another example of the club treating supporters with complete contempt. Every ticket will still be sold to a registered supporter, they could even insist of having a booking history or a minimum amount of 'home' points. To refuse to sell them at all, to prefer to have empty seats, is just madness. Members buy their membership to get priority (and in some cases extra perks or discounts). A membership should not be for exclusively, especially when without general sale, supply outweighs demand. Foxes Trust, if you're reading this, you've been doing some good work recently. Please could you now put some focus on this issue?

I agree, and the horrific gold shirt in the Cambiasso great escape season completes the trio of the 3 worst away shirts ever.

That should be interesting because due to sight lines (assuming the people in the standing areas are actually standing) then, unless they stand, people in the seated sections in large part of G1 won't be able to see the goal at the Kop end, about a quarter of J3 (who will be paying quite a lot for their seats) won't be able to see the goal at the other end, and the back portion of P1 not be able to see about a third of the pitch. Has nobody at the club even considered that?! Why not just do it properly and convert a whole end?

SemperEadem where did you get this from? Yesterday at some point I saw one of the stadium maps that showed the configuration like that (can't remember if it was here or the LCFC website), but either way the official website is now only showing a narrow slither of G1 as being included.

What an absolute mess that it. Why not just do it properly and convert one large area, surely that's common sense. Anyone at the back of J3 won't be able to see the goal to their right, similarly people seated in G1 will have their view blocked of the goal at their end, and those seated in P1 next to the standing area won't see much to the left of the 6 yard box. I understand not converting the whole Kop end, as the people in there are mainly the same people that have been there for 20 years with an average age that must be 50+ and are not the type of people that want it. As I've said before though, the other end is ideal. A1 round to M3, start with the back half with the intention of eventually all rows. It's a younger demographic there as those in P/P1 are generally those that reached the age limit for the family stand, and those in the family stand know that they have to move when they reach the limit (16?) and so they already know they won't be in those seats long term, so would be less resistance to moving, and as a whole the stand would be more receptive. The family stand can move elsewhere, and it would mean the singers could congregate in one place and be heard by the away fans (unlike now) which would get a bit of atmosphere back again.

Since they first introduced cards (which must be 25 years or so ago as I had one at Filbert Street) it never failed to work. I've used NFC half a dozen or so times for cup games, and one time it failed. Same phone, same process, just didn't work (NFC or QR code) for me (NFC didn't work for my wife's ticket either, but QR code did!). I had both tickets together on my phone, so she went in and I was stuck outside!. That's the problem, sometimes it just doesn't work and I can see by the amount of people turning round at the turnstile every game that it's a common issue. I use NFC for card payments etc. and have no issues with it, and have a up to date Google pixel phone, but I don't want to be forced to use it for my season ticket as I don't want to get there 10 mins before kick and risk having to join hundreds of people in queue to get it sorted. I have no issues with NFC, just 1) the lack of choice for people who'd prefer not to use it for whatever reason, and 2) the way the club are implementing to make passing the season ticket to a friend for the occasional game inconvenient, and sharing a season ticket (as people have done since the beginning of time) very difficult. They say that it's only being forced on us being the Premier League are making it mandatory, so let's see if the club back down if/when we're in the Championship next season.
