The protest tomorrow is primarily about the removal of concessions at West Ham, also happening at Spurs (in a different way) and stopping that becoming wide spread within the PL Last week saw Man U remove concessions on any new ticket sales for the rest of the season

Not many clubs are permitting protest banners in the ground. On Tuesday night the Foxes Trust and the LCFC Official Supporters Club will be standing alongside West Ham fans in a further protest

Well one of them was Ruby Mace who has just been called up to the England squad, so assuming she gets her debut next week our only current England international at the club ! https://www.lcfc.com/news/4172174/foxes-stars-join-fans-for-highcross-store-opening?lang=en

The Chief Financial Officer at Newcastle joined them in the summer of 2023 having spent the previous 12 years as Finance Director at LCFC

The consultation process was first revealed by the club in the first FAB meeting, our separate article extracting information from the minutes detailed at timetable including: February 2025 Decision on the installation of independent barriers and the timing. Fans Advisory Board updated. Therefore a final decision will be taken in February as to whether it’s feasible to install for next season However prior to that will be a fan consultation process, one of the FCC Working Groups will be discussing safe standing next Wednesday, then the second FAB meeting a week later will discuss the consultation process before launching in December. Union FS & the Foxes Trust are keen to play a major part in the consultation process given proposals already submitted to the club as yet without a response

Within our article it details some timelines... December 2024 Fan consultation and implications to current seating locations Confirm costs and implications to other stadium users and how to mitigate those implications

The latest ‘Your 90 minutes’ session about Memberships was held online to give more opportunity for people from outside of Leicester to be involved. Interesting information on Membership Numbers and General Sale tickets as part of this session Fans have their say on Memberships at ‘Your 90 Minutes’ – Foxes Trust

It’s coming! With the publication by LCFC of the minutes of the Fans Advisory Board meeting on 16 October 2024 we can now let you have more information about the plans that aim to have safe standing at the King Power Stadium for the start of the 2025/26 season.

It is being held at the stadium

Lisa came in as director in Aug 22. https://www.lcfc.com/news/2692023/lcfc-women-appoint-lisa-pearce-as-director?lang=en We had a positive meeting with her some time back.

Anyone travelling to the West Ham LCWFC game tomorrow, if you had an email this morning it said Fox Travel coaches leave at 9.45am and had a link for more info. Under more info however it said they leave at 8.30. The club have been made aware of the mistake. The women's coaches definitely leave at 9.45am (It's the mens coaches that leave at 8.30am). All women's games available to watch for free this season live on YouTube (and you can watch afterwards if it clashes with men for a while): https://www.youtube.com/@BarclaysWSL

A further two games are on General Sale for fans who may usually struggle to get tickets to see LCFC at the King Power. Foxes Trust and Union FS raised the issue about the non-availability of tickets for General Sale back in January. We're pleased to see that the club is making more tickets available but will continue to push for more. The next two home fixtures against West Ham and Brighton have now gone on general sale. This includes the following numbers of seats being made available: 200 in East; 200 in Kop; 200 in West; 900 in Family; 100 in P&P1. Tell anyone you know who may not have noticed and fancies a game.

Hello all, Lynn here, new Co-Chair of the Trust, a quick personal post from me: Thanks to those that have welcomed us. We may not always get everything right or please everyone all of the time, but we'll do our best to represent Trust members and all LCFC supporters and to have a voice at the club. I'm looking forward to working with all the different supporters groups and hearing as many views as possible from all of you as we push for the new fan engagement framework to truly result in the club listening to fans, to get safe standing implemented before next season and also progress improvements at the Trust. I'd personally like to put my thanks on record to Ian who has given up countless hours to the Trust over the years, all voluntarily, and has often received vitriolic personal abuse and unwarranted accusations. People have not seen how hard he has worked in the background and how he has been instrumental in wanting to move the Trust forward in the last couple of years. As people say above, the more members we have, the stronger our voice is with the club. Be a part of it. For those that do decide to join, or are already members, please put Monday January 13th in your diary. It's our AGM and we want as many members there as possible to hear about the Board's future plans and for you to get involved if you want to. Whilst I'm here, we've popped a letter off today to Ipswich about what seemed like some pretty poor stewarding at Portman Rd, as we'd had lots of complaints from supporters about it. https://foxestrust.co.uk/11262/trust-raises-concerns-about-stewarding I can be contacted on [email protected] if you have any ideas, comments or complaints, and you can find me at men's games in G2, W-118 or at women's games in B1, F-136.

There will always be a place for the Trust on the FAB (it has primacy) however all the individuals serving as the fan reps serve for a 3 year term, so the person serving as the Trust Rep will change accordingly

Trust Elects New Co-Chairs – Foxes Trust

What a strange interpretation of the post above The FSA campaigns are about fans of many clubs working together for a common objective, no single fans organisation would claim the credit, it’s the strength of all fans groups working together that has the most effect

Activity took place at many grounds last weekend GALLERY: #StopExploitingLoyalty imagery - Football Supporters' Association We will be alongside Ipswich fans this Saturday Previous FSA campaigns delivered results, such as the Away Ticket Price Cap that remains in place in the Premier League While Fan Groups working closely together quickly saw a reversal of the European Super League proposal, with politicians quick to back the objections having been reminded how many football fans would be voting in elections, hence cross party support, while the FSA continued lobbying is seeing the government adding more into the football governance bill Football Governance Bill launched "to protect clubs and support fans" - Football Supporters' Association

Leicester City Supporter Groups will put rivalry with Nottingham Forest aside this week to draw attention to the Football Supporters Association (FSA) ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ campaign. Rivalries Put Aside for ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ Campaign – Foxes Trust

Yes, the interview phase has now been completed. Our understanding is that the FAB representatives will be announced very soon. The fans reps are currently being consulted about the contents of the announcement by the club.

Let’s be clear. The Foxes Trust wholeheartedly supports having safe standing at the King Power Stadium…… https://foxestrust.co.uk/11175/foxes-trust-and-safe-standing

Your assumptions seem to be based on any delay being solely down to the club which is factually incorrect In terms of the schedule for interviews, the timings were based on the availability of both the candidates and the other interview panel members (all of which had to juggle timings around their full time paid jobs), the club worked around the availability of both. "Would expect" - an exact date has not been finalised and also what is released will be discussed with the 6 FAB fans reps before being published "Swiftly" - the date will be set following checking availability of all that will be part of the FAB, for the first meeting its important that everyone can attend (so its just a normal process for agreeing a meeting date) The Football Supporters Association were part of the interview panel (as previously published) and are happy with the overall recruitment process that was agreed between the Club and the Trust, therefore the FSA don't believe the recruitment process is flawed (as you claim), as the FSA are looking closely at what takes place at all PL clubs regarding Fan Advisory Boards, their views should be taken notice of by all fans. You also seem happy to insult the 104 fellow City fan applicants for an FAB role with "job for the boys" comments and particularly the six who will take on the responsibility before you know who they are.

FAB - the interview phase for the 3 positions available (from general applications from ST holders/members) is close to completion. So we would expect that the club will announce who the 6 FAB fan representatives are soon, with the date of the first meeting to follow swiftly afterwards (so meeting in October) We always felt the timescales to complete the application/interview process was optimistic

The reason the club is doing the survey after every game is that they are looking for trends. Then if changes are made in response to the feedback, they can monitor if the survey indicates a positive impact of the change The results of the surveys will be fed into the Fan Engagement Framework, for instance a 90 Minutes session could be called to discuss a particular topic highlighted in the survey results. The results will also be fed into the FCC Working Groups that focus on certain areas and more strategically into the Fans Advisory Board

Around 30 fans attended the ‘Your 90 Minutes’ session, an integral part of the club’s Fan Engagement Framework, held at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday 17 September 2024..... LCFC Fan Engagement – The latest ‘Your Ninety Minutes’ – Foxes Trust
