I'd much rather buy players while in the Championship than in the Premier League. There is definitely a Championship 'discount' vs a PL 'premium' added to prices. E.g Winks and Skipp, similar quality players bought from the same club - £10m vs £25m. Even disregarding the cheaper prices, we still made better signings overall in our last Championship season than in our last PL one. From the point of view of a potential signing, I don't think there's much difference in attractiveness between a PL team likely to get relegated, and a Championship team likely to get promoted.

I fully support the planned protests, but really hope that the Wednesday fans that are planning to interrupt the game with ref whistles/fireworks, do it while the ball is out of play and not while LCFC are attacking. Or a lot of goodwill could be lost.

I don't think they like each other. They may or may not have business or political connections with each other, but simply from the football side I could see why. Chansiri criticised KP for the way they ran LCFC, just before we won the league. Must have been hugely embarrassing. Article from March 2015 https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/latest-owls-news/chansiri-will-not-be-outfoxed-in-owls-premier-league-bid-1823341 “With regards to Leicester, we know of him (Srivaddhanaprabha),” said Chansiri in response to an enquiry from The Yorkshire Post. “But I am not close to him. “And we believe that our philosophy of how to run the football club will be a bit different from how they have been doing it. “We want to do it in a smart and sustainable manner. There needs to be some investment but just throwing money at a club is not a guarantee of success.

It only takes one deranged lone wolf attacker to put fans, staff and players at genuine risk. If a pro-Russian individual in the UK wanted to attack someone displaying pro-Ukraine messaging, they would have tens of thousands of targets to choose from and we would be near the bottom of the list. If a pro-Cambodian individual in the UK wanted to do the same to bring attention to their cause, they now have just one obvious and easy target. @Foxes_Trust Will you be raising this with the club?

This would be the best angle to go for if anyone is sending in a complaint to the club. Moral objections against political displays can be brushed off as easily as those against gambling sponsors. But putting fans' health and safety at risk can't be brushed off as easily.

Says it's been organised in discussion with the club. I don't think they'd be able to sneak in a massive banner otherwise

LCFC have apparently approved a planned protest banner by the Sheff Wed fans, so maybe supporting that nutter is a bridge too far even for us

We're going to be so reliant on the two Ghanaian lads this season, thank fvck Ghana failed to qualify for AFCON for the first time in 20 years

Guess he's thinking BEK might leave which is why he's in the unfavoured side?

Please no. Genuinely would take any of RVN, Cooper, Dyche, Rodgers, Puel over bloody Russell Martin. We also haven't got the money to pay off yet another manager. RVN should be good enough to get this squad back up - if he isn't, we can make that decision a few months into next season.

There's 4 of us and we'd probably have to get a further taxi from St Margaret's if we took the bus, making the overall cost not far off 30 quid. Will have a look tonight on the app, thanks.

Will be on a flight due to arrive into EMA at 1 am in a couple weeks. To get back to Leicester, is it easy to get an Uber from there at that time of night, or is it best to prebook with a taxi company (although not sure the exact time we'd get out)?

Most of M1 has been blocked out to be offered to UHL staff for £20 each, proceeds going to the Leicester Hospitals Charity. They've done this previously for 3-4 games this season which haven't sold out.

Someone said on the other thread that Jim said 20k renewed. There were 22.5k STHs last season, so that's 2500 new STs made available this summer, and 90% renewal rate. For context last season (post promotion), there were 500 new STs available, and 98% renewal rate. The 10k member figure is from how many members applied for a ST in the ballot a few years ago, so the true number of members is probably 15-20k, if you include those who didn't apply.

Frankly, the gap between season ticket pricing and per match pricing has grown so large, that a member who can only attend half the games would still pay less on a season ticket than buying individual tickets. Add in the increase to 10 resales, and it would probably make financial sense for most members to get a ST. I suspect some STHs who didn't renew might regret it once we stop losing every game and they see how much more expensive it is to see the odd game without a ST.

Bought flights to Turkey for a week in late May, right before the protests there kicked off. Now looking at booking hotels and activities etc. Reckon it's fine to proceed as planned and hope things settle down by then?

"We want Rudkin out" sounds similar to "We are going down" from a distance, I thought that was what was being sung at first. I don't think the players know about the anti Rudkin sentiment, so they may similarly mishear it and find it disconcerting. A slower tune with clearer words like "Jon Rudkin, get out of our club" would probably work better.

I suspect he's in denial of the fact that there are genuinely hundreds of new members wanting reform (and wanting him out). He probably thinks the identical wording means that it is one person paying for hundreds of fake accounts to proxy vote against him en masse.

This is ChatGPT isn't it.

If it works the same as their other ticket ballot events, they won't be checking ID. Security at the door will ask for names, cross check it against a printed paper list, and possibly ask to see the ballot success email on your phone. I would suggest you wait in the car and forward the email to the older son's phone in case it's asked for. Tell the older son to pretend your name is actually his (and therefore he becomes the guardian), and bring the younger son in with him (and if they ask the younger son's name, to say it is the older son's). I don't think security will care as long as you give two names which match the two names on their paper, as you are not bringing extra numbers.

As long as they pay for an international membership or standard membership, that should do it to get immediate access to tickets without needing to collect any priority points, as most/all games haven't sold out to priority. Also could be bought via "STH guest" without a membership.

Or maybe he wants to go back home to his newborn twins, now that the managerial situation is sorted.

I couldn't make out the words to that song. Hey Wes Fofana, I wanna know ????
