I've been successful in the ballot, but they want to charge me £35 when I've paid £70 at the start of the season? 

 

Really? 

To be fair to the club it makes sense. Your £70 will be taken off of next seasons season ticket. 
 

It would be a logistical nightmare for the club to work out varying amounts due off of next seasons season ticket. By charging a match ticket price for the lucky ballot winners it means it’s a straightforward process to roll over the £70 to next year. In my opinion anyway.

I have been successful in the ballot for Spurs. Click on the link and nothing there. Is anyone having the same issues?? 

Make sure you’re signed in mate. If you sign in and still not able to you’ll need to contact the club.

Great stuff. Assume emailed to us to fill in and send back. Hopefully they send my lads to me. 

 

Booked in to be jabbed on the 25th and 2nd one in August hopefully that means some return to normal come next season.

Yes not sure on the logistics of it to be honest but I read that they’d email the health questionnaires next week. Definitely no testing required though (unless the government change the requirements between now and then of course!).

Has anyone worked out the requirements for this. Do we all have to have tests including minors? 

No tests. Health questionnaire will be sent next week. That’s all 

Head hurts but I don’t care. I can’t stop smiling. This FA Cup win means so so so much. We’ve won all 3 major English trophies and it feels incredible 🏆

That’s fkin awesome. 
 

Does he take commissions??! 

Cheers. We keep telling him he should but he’s not having any of it. He enjoys doing them in his spare time as and when he can which is fair enough I guess. 

A mixture of nerves and excitement. Annoyingly though the nerves are probably overpowering the excitement if I’m honest. I think the fact we’re Leicester fans means we all know that even if we win the FA Cup we won’t make it easy for ourselves!

Looking for some season ticket advice, my son and I have held one for 9 years, however my son has gone to live in Australia. I’m aware you can’t transfer to another family member. 
 

My wife would like an ST so wondered what the process is, is their a waiting list? ....does becoming a Foxes member 

help? .....Home/Away points? .... or is it just a case of queuing/ phoning each year.

Since our title winning year the only way to obtain a season ticket has been to be a member and obtain enough points. Points are gained by attending home games. 
 

In short, until the stadium is expanded the only chance of a season ticket is to become a member and attend as many home games as you can for a few years. 

Those that have been unsuccessful - I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. Out of 8,000 people I can imagine a decent number won’t take up the opportunity to buy a ticket (for a variety of reasons) so they’ll be another (albeit limited) opportunity next week I’m sure. 

Successful emails have dropped 😀

Yes I ordered 2 purely so I could put 1 away, so disappointed when both turned up with glue residue and paper stuck to the back. Not sure whose clever idea that was!
 

I’ve dropped an email to the club shop to see if they can send at least 1 replacement in better packaging but we’ll see.

Suppose mine will be waiting for me at home.

 

Is the little white box thing face paint or something?

Yes seems to be face paint 

Ballot unsuccessful. Never mind, the hassle involved does make it slightly easier to get over I’m not going to lie. Best of luck to everyone in getting tickets! 
 

My dream scenario for the rest of the season now goes like this:

1) We win the FA Cup

2) I somehow get a ticket for Spurs at home

3) We beat Spurs to clinch a top 4 spot and watch the trophy being paraded. 
4) Ticket for the Community Shield - thanks @Ricey 🤣
 

We can dream...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens if you’re lucky enough to to get a ticket but then unlucky enough to test positive for Covid the day before the game? Will the club refund the ticket and transport cost or is that a risk you have to take? A lot of money to lose for no football (sterile or not)

£40 membership getting preference over people who’ve paid out year after year is bonkers and makes a bit of a mockery of making it being fair. Not that I want to go, but others will and that seems off when people have forked out £70 to retain a season ticket. 

I'm not sure that's a fair sentiment to be honest. Members being afforded the opportunity to enter a ballot for 2% of the allocation is hardly preferential treatment over season ticket holders in my opinion. I know which camp I'd rather be in. 

Many members have also been forking out for years and often spend more on match tickets to be fair over the course of a season than a STH...oh and that £40 they've paid will be retained by the club at the end of the season, the £70 paid by STH's will be rolled over to next years season ticket. 

I have just emailed the club to check if there are any plans to roll over memberships to next season free of charge. As has been pointed out, paying £40 to essentially remain in a que would be frankly offensive given there has been no opportunity to purchase tickets and while season ticket holders at least have a guarantee that their £70 will be rolled over to the next campaign (quite rightly). 
 

I’d encourage any members that feel the same to get in touch and lobby for a rollover of memberships - it’s the right thing to do.

Making any competition an exclusive club devalues that competition, if the CL starts gifting clubs places it becomes a joke 

Completely agree. Sport is all about competing. Take the competition away like that and for me it’s not sport. 

It’s the genuine fans of these clubs I feel sorry for.

I doubt these clubs even really want to breakaway, they’re probably using it as a bargaining chip to get the changes they want (eg a guaranteed champions league space regardless of performance). But I’m at a point now where I actually want them to go. The remaining 87 clubs (and beyond) will be poorer financially but healthier in other ways and we’d simply cut our new cloth accordingly. I really feel most genuine football fans would probably end up preferring it without the ‘favoured 6’ and the accompanying plastic.

Genuine apology needed. 

Completely agree. I only want to see them apologise if it’s genuinely sincere and they understand why it was wrong and has upset so many people. 
 

If they don’t get it I’d respect them for saying so and rather than demanding an apology perhaps the club can arrange for the lads to spend a shift at the LRI to see if that helps them understand.  

Decided to have a small wager on British airline shares (EasyJet, Jet2, IAG). My educated gamble is that they’ll start to pick up over the course of 2021. Particularly easyJet and Jet2 as the holiday / short haul market is likely to have a lot of pent-up demand unlike long haul business travel. 

Oh bad memories.
 

Closest I’ve ever come to crying over football - which is coming from someone that is very much of the persuasion no one should be crying over what is ultimately a game. But it was definitely the most hurt I’ve suffered supporting the club I love. 
 

If only we knew at the time that this was the medicine needed for the magic that was to come!

Absolutely buzzin! 
 

That point is massive - means we should not only qualify but also win the group with relative ease. 
 

Only negative for that half of football is that we haven’t scored more. Hope it doesn’t come back to haunt us.
