Thank you. You're post is absolutely spot on.

Membership was something I was prepared to do for myself and Albie even if it meant just being able to get tickets for this one game!.. However, the points system wouldn't have guaranteed tickets and I also explained that there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to tolerate sitting through 90 minutes (I'll be surprised if it's 45!)... It's a tricky one and all I was asking the club to do was to help me navigate it.

Thank you... haven't had the heart to tell him yet that his hero Jamie Vardy won't be featuring!! Typical he gets injured now!!😁😪!

Not attacking them, just pointing out another example of how they could be a little more helpful that's all. I'll find another option for parking without their help. I'm sure they do help others in need with car parking as they should for elderly or disabled supporters.

I contacted Anna in the disability department..just to enquire about parking, as I know Albie will be anxious walking a long way from car parking to the ground. All they could offer is a space on the old Filbert street part...£18!!! But, if we had that 'hard evidence ' of diagnosis it's £10.50!! Another example of how completely out of touch they are!!

Absolutely spot on!!!

Easier to get the latter I think.🤬😂!!!

This is true..my first stop on Saturday with Albie (post Macdonalds) will be the club shop, I'll be lucky to get away with £100 in there no doubt. After this dreadful experience of dealing with the club that is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth!!

You reap what you sow!

I agree 5 is too young and with his condition it would be risky, the last thing you want to do is to make his first experience a bad one because that will probably put him off for life!... this is why I was trying so hard to ensure Albie's first match would be a good experience! That's why the club should be working 'with me ' NOT making it almost impossible for him to go!! (God, just writing that makes me so angry!!) It took the generosity of a FT season ticket holder to make it happen for him. Thank you for the offer of sharing your newsletter.

Thank you. But I've already contacted Anna. Nice enough, but at this moment in time we cannot produce the 'hard evidence ' she requires to get Albie much help, (apart from getting him a sensory pack on match day.) I also contacted Jim (Supporter liaison officer?)regarding buying some tickets but had no joy.

Hi, yes your point is so valid of course. Albie's older sister was showing obvious signs of being on the spectrum at his age and it took 2 years for full diagnosis, getting her EHCP etc etc. I made the mistake of expecting the club to have some understanding of his situation, not just to access it as 'the computer says no '!! I took him on the stadium tour a couple of years ago and ever since he's been asking to go and see a game. I made the mistake of thinking it would be easier to get him to a championship match (ticket availability etc) so I made the promise to make it happen this season. But my experience of dealing with the club to try and get this organised has been a real eye opener. Good grief, this is a game against QPR not Manchester City! It won't be anywhere near full so it's nothing to do with unavailability of seats. The sad truth is the club are only interested in their corporative clients and making money, the days of looking after their future fan base are long gone.

Thank you. We both know there will be hundreds of unsold seats for this game!

The last few weeks has made me see LCFC in a completely different light. I've been a supporter for 60 years and I've nurtured my Grandson to follow in my footsteps. I've taken him on the Stadium Tour and visits to the club store etc etc... He's asked for a while to go to see a game, but as he's autistic I've been extra cautious about this as I fear he might struggle to handle the environment and the fact he's only 8 years old. But, bless him he's been going on and on about seeing a live game... So, a few weeks ago I started the process of attempting to get tickets for a game. I chose the QPR game as I thought he maybe the less busy match left? I contacted the club and explained the situation. Firstly they needed documented evidence of his condition. I explained the diagnosis was an ongoing process and that it could be a year or two before I could give them written 'evidence' of his condition. Then to actually getting tickets for the game!!...I was advised it would be highly unlikely that they would go on general sale. Even buying membership wouldn't guarantee me being able to get tickets. I also tried to explain that it was a strong possibility that he wouldn't be able to handle the noise/environment and we might have to leave well before the end of the 90 minutes, therefore becoming members would be a waste of time and money. So, no help from the club in sourcing a ticket for him, no understanding of his difficulties, no empathy, nothing positive whatsoever!! A very kind member of FT contacted me and because him and his brother were ST holders he arranged to get me 2 tickets!..it was a very kind gesture and my Grandson was incredibly excited when I told him the news. So we're going to the QPR game, but with zero help from the club. I will try my best to make this day special for Albie and it will be a lovely memory for me. ..But, right now I'm feeling disgusted with the club and I'm actually questioning why I should support such an uncaring organisation and I'm certainly questioning whether I should encourage Albie to follow them in his future years.

Right up there with that Wetherspoons c**t!!!.. Absolute cretins!

Hi everyone.. Through a very kind season ticket holder I've managed to get tickets to take my 8 year old autistic grandson to see his first match against QPR!.... although he's now registered with the club on their disabled list I can't seem to get any car parking arrangements sorted out for the day, unless I'm willing/can afford to pay £18!!!!!!! Can anyone suggest where I could park on the day that isn't quite so extortionate please?

If you can prove it's a total loss (showing on hpi etc) and you bought it from a dealership/garage then yes you have a very good case for taking it back for a full refund.

IF we go back up to join the circus it won't be fun!! But you're right it's all about money nowadays! I'm just extremely grateful that most of my Leicester City supporting days were pre PL era. Give me the days of Worthington, Weller, Birchenall, Earle, Glover etc etc anyday!!!

Poxy Ref.. what a......

.. jumpers for goal posts?

Nice seeing Newcastle get spanked just as long as The Arse don't end up winning the title.

That one second left.. I can't believe it's not Budda?

... or Rodgers.

The difference between finishing 4th and 5th in both those seasons cannot be understated!.. 4th is Champions League qualification (or have you forgot?), not only would that have cost the club hundreds of millions but it also had a massive detrimental effect on attracting better players to the club.

Play like they did tonight against Manchester City and it really doesn't matter what team we put out... we'll get thumped!!
