People said all this crap before Qatar and they’ll say the same before 2030 and 2034. They won’t practice what they preach, ofc there’ll be huge ratings

Agreed. Scunthorpe is a cracking day out.

Excellent, thanks! I will call them

Anyone use any of the buses (apart from Ausden clark who have said I can't) and know if I can contact someone to leave my bag on the bus during the match?

Maybe I’m too corporate/cynical but we only ever got treated kinda like fans because we were sh1t. The second we got good ofc they were gonna monetise us, much like many successful clubs have historically done. Anyway the next general sale starts today at 4pm, I will see what crops up. Still awaiting the right time in the market to flog my USA v Paraguay tickets

You seriously cannot blame this on 'modern football' lol. It's life. Everyone is impatient. People's attention spans are near zero

World is massively different nowadays. All it takes is one Facebook post from Farage about a bad broadcaster and the happy clapping mob will duly assemble against the bbc

They defo will care, can you imagine the happy clapper onslaught if they hired second rate broadcasters. I PAY ALL MY LICENCE FEE MONEY AND THE BLOKE PRESENTING NEWSNIGHT CAN'T EVEN ACT. People clearly care about the bbc because they're always moaning about it.

Yes as said on another thread I want the second chance of condescendingly saying 'I was there in league 1 you know.' as a rebuttal to those claiming I shouldn't be complaining. The comments saying 'just do something else with your mates then' are shockingly out of touch and unrealistic. I, along with many others I know, would not come back to Leicester and socialise as much without the anchor point of a football match, and I am not about to get into rugby.

I go to the Jersey bulls (step 4) about 3 times a season. Going on Saturday actually. It's very boring, all the players are in poor shape and the game is always slow. The social is however very fun, got a really good crowd going each time. I suppose that's exactly the reason I still go to watch Leicester!! Really crappy boring football but nice to see family and friends.

TR1 or straightforward to do on your own if you fancied it. The guidance docs on gov website are useful.

Great thread. I vote foot

Power to the people!!! Well done all who took a stand (pun intended)

Yeh, but like decisions our club makes, the excuse of sticking to standard practice doesn't wash. Sheff wed can accept some cash for the a percentage of the tickets being sold, or leave the entire block empty and collect no cash. If our club were being as incompetent as Sheff Wed in this case, they would rightly get stick

Obviously they don't think they can sell them all and don't want to pay for it. But it's gonna be left empty otherwise, why wouldn't Sheff Wed just say 'sell what you can' - they're down anyway, they don't need to restrict ticket sales to away fans. Both clubs are incompetent and it shows via many metrics (league position being one)

I do not read it as 'with fault' evictions at all. Removal of s21 'no fault' does not automatically equate to with fault. There are many valid grounds why you would ask a tenant to vacate under the RRA.

Yeh that's why I said long-term and put a 60-year timescale on it. You'll always have dips in the graph like now, need a wing and a prayer to get through it

Decent tenant default, legal assist and landlord policy solves all of these problems tbf but yeh I do get your point

I don't think it's zero risk, landlords will not be washing their face on financing alone never mind running costs. We were spoiled by a low rate environment for so long, it was never gonna last. Many happy clappers got used to this gluttony and frittered profit on consumerist sh1t rather than use the excess to pay down and reduce LTV

Yield wise yeh anyone can make a loss and not wash your face on a monthly basis, but growth in UK housing over the last 60 years makes a very nice looking graph. Generally I wouldn't be in it for yield rather long term growth. Also what specifically in the RRA is making everyone sell up? I've heard lots of moaning but no specifics, to me it all seems fair. Granted you will see lots of accidental landlords who've inherited a property for free and don't know what they are doing sell up. Anyway let's see if it's happy clappers making a fuss or if we see a material effect in the market > 1 May

My colleague (who is originally from near Leicester) is a Man U fan and is considering getting an ST next year to see some live football. We're back at that stage again, like the mid-late 2000s, a 22k attendance of which loads of people are there just coz.

I no longer work in London around their fans and our battle with Spurs was 10 years ago, so I don't care about them anymore.

I agree in that it is a shaken up table this year so the stories are prevalent. However personally I've not followed as much as previous years. I think we were spoiled by the Klopp/Guardiola years of insane and relentless attacking football. Now it seems clubs are going back to the 90s of playing boring, long ball, set piece based football. That does not interest me. Anthony Gordon said it when asked about why PL teams are (or, were!) dominating in the CL. European teams were opening up more against the PL teams, and then getting hammered. You don't see that in the PL these days, Arteta and his version of Allardyce/Pulis football is dominating. Boring. The happy clappers have won and modern football is dead, for now.

Someone at yesterday’s match scanned his ticket, turned the turnstile without getting into the turnstile. Then scanned his ticket again and was obvs denied entry. Looked really confused as to what was happening. Was seriously bizarre

Revolut is the best only if you use my referral. I use barclaycard for all overseas spending, find it much better than the fintechs
