Judging by the guys who were sat behind me, a proper match there will be better than watching Champions League final.

They did just beat the Derby 1st team 4-0 😂

I’ve highlighted the relevant bit for you bud. Remember, we were in the West stand.

Mate, not what you said though was it!

We were offered a good venue with a great pitch to play a training game in and, to be honest, I thought the food was much better than at the KP and a bit cheaper. It wasn't a regular fixture for Chesterfield, so the levels of entitlement from 'big team' fans in here comes across very poorly. 

Same queuing issues with late arrivals we get at the KP for cup games which suggests there's an issue there that isn't Chesterfield's.

The ‘talkers’ behind me were saying it’s about £25 per match too. Which is pretty much what I pay with a season ticket for City. That’s quite pricey considering they’ve just come up from the national league.

Not what the website said for last season when they were getting 8-10k at home.£24 most expensive.

it might be a novel thing to do but i tend to do this crazy thing called eating when i get hungry. going down for 2 minutes to grab a burger or hotdog never usually causes any issues in my life. it certainly never usually has strangers on an internet forum getting upset because i didn't have a full itinerary planned with full on survival kit and bug out bag to counter any unforeseen events 

Guest123 - says it all really.

was an absolute joke. anyone trying to defend that shit is deluded. Shrewsbury was fine the other night. I went down with about 20 minutes gone to find no food, asked the stewards if i could go elsewhere to be told there was no food in the entire ground, so natural thing let me out. then the 3 hitler stewards decided that if i left before half time when people could go for a fag i wasn't allowed back in, but if i left at half time i wouldn't have been back in time and couldn't get back in anyway. ended up having to go and get the old bill to let me out, and i kid you not, they had to discreetly ask the safety officer if they could slip me out a side gate. funny thing was when i got outside one of the hitlers were outside and started gobbing off that i wouldn't be allowed back in even after i said the old bill had let me. needless to say i got myself back in at half time easily enough and enjoyed the rest of the match watching in the comfy padded seats. thought that dickhead was going to cry when he saw me again. all this when we were doing them a favour by playing there as they're in the shit

Sounds like you didn't plan your time very well and then expected them to break regulations to fit in with you. Sounds like you're crying about it and very entitled.

Got there at 6. No queue, straight to the food bar, excellent steak and ale pie (£7 for the pie and a tea). Good view of the game, quick exit and quickly out of the parking.

Traffic lights are awful there, turning left out of Tesco turns onto the bypass which can back up.

 

You've got shoppers there, then also people going to Aldi and KFC. Believe me, I've tried to get out on a Town matchday before (granted there won't be as many fans tonight).

I attend pretty much all Town games when City aren't at home, you do have to wait a bit, but Friday night is not well known for shopping. If people are worried by what you're saying they can cancel and rebook in Sainsbury's and walk the extra 15 minutes.

Added my mate Craig to friends and family.Could not see a way to transfer online so phoned ticket office and got ticket transferred to him for Spurs game. No dramas. They say he will have it within the hour. NB he has no membership. 🤔

I did it all via email, very easy

Also you will get out of Sainsbury's far easier than Tesco.

Anyone parking in Tesco should park as near to the entrance as possible and you won't have any issue

Sainsbury's isn't that far 

It's not, but it's 15 minutes more walk than Tesco

Likewise…. Tesco doesn’t come up as an option for me!

Probably used up allocation.

I’ve just used Just Park and booked a parking space at Sainsbury’s for £4. 

Sainsbury's? I'd definitely cancel that and rebook in the Tesco

For some reason we have lots of car parks despite being a town (people want to see the church!!). There is a multi story at the end of Saltergate, and also a big open car park opposite (in the middle of a junction). I would go for one of them if I were you.

 

It's then about half an hour walk to the ground, but it's pretty much a straight run, and Stagecoach run plenty of bus options. You either need to start walking then jump on a bus or walk towards town first to catch one, but I'm sure the Gold 50 goes past the ground as do routes 43 and 44.

 

I wouldn't call around the ground limited but I would be more careful. Tesco is big but on match day it's something like two hours max, just like all away grounds. There is also a smaller set of shops but it's probably the same thing. If you drive past the ground (towards Sheffield) there might be free road parking as there are shops up there.  To be honest I'm sure there is a chargeable car park behind Dominoes, as I've parked in there to go to a nearby restaurant, but I've not tried it for a couple of years now.

That's crazy parking in town and walking to the stadium. Use the YourParkingSpace website/app to pay a few quid and park next to the stadium.

This has been bubbling for a while now and I think it needs to be said. 
 

Money won’t buy you success. 
 

It may however allow you to have more rolls of the dice until you get it right.
 

Manchester City have spent over £500m on defenders alone since the Saudi takeover, that’s insane.
 

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs etc have all thrown money at it and the league can only have one winner. Football is a crazy world. It’s entirely pointless but fans lap up the Sky Sports and social media hype for transfer like it’s some sort of circus spectacle. 
 

I’ve just been reading that Lookman is now valued at over £50m! One season of decent form in Italy, and he’s worth 5 times what he was when we had him on loan. Is he realistically that much better than Fatawu?!? 
 

One persons rubbish, is another persons gold. You can build a team, a squad even for next to nothing if done correctly and a good coach is given time. We did it on a budget. Any team is capable but everyone wants to get into the todger swinging contest of splashing cash like they want to burn through money whilst drunk in a casino. A player who’s purchased for £100m, doesn’t mean they’re any better than someone you picked up for £1. We all all human and form, ability, pressure etc all impact what happens on a day to day basis. 
 

Patience is required and we need to give Cooper that.
 

Rome wasn’t built on a day but he has the right infrastructure with Seagrave to build a legacy. 

I agree we need to give Cooper a chance. 

But, these...

Money won’t buy you success. 

It may however allow you to have more rolls of the dice until you get it right

... are just two contradictory sentences. 

Man City etc. are just buying success.

How has this thread not been closed?..

It's like some sort of self replicating negative echo chamber

Mate, this is the same support comprised of grown men attacking people who voiced their opinion of wanting the previous manager out when it was clear he was sabotaging the football club. 

 

This forum is not representative of the larger fanbase, vast swathes of whom are 1. thick and 2. brainwashed cucks.

Hypocritically hilariously unaware. Classic.

Do you know more about football than everyone on Foxes Talk?  What do you mean you've never heard of it?

This thread is hilarious reading back

This is what happens when a Trust recognises that it should be acting in the interest and coordinating the actions of the entire supporter body - rather than sitting on its collective self satisfied arse and achieving the square root of FA. 

They've achieved cheaper tickets for kids and a bar area. Which is decent, but in reality hardly anything relatively speaking. The tickets are frozen at a higher price and they've only committed to exploring further options.

You post that for an unnecessary attack on fellow Leicester fans.
