Hi all, Need some advice on the new season ticket system. I previously shared my season ticket with my brother, much easier in the past life of the hard copy tickets. Now moving into electronic ticket era, is this still possible to both use the ticket without going through the forwarding/reselling system. Can we both have it on our phones through the same account? As we have the logins. Also how does the system work in terms of how many games you don't attend a season, and not use one of the systems to move the ticket to someone else, without getting the club on your back? From what I can workout, you can forward the tickets 5 times to friends, resell 10 times. Thanks for any help!

For a long time (often while running) I have gone through what has happened over the last few years. I feel like the mainstream media/wider football world haven't just realised what has happened. I have finally written it all down from my head onto paper. Wonder what thoughts are, if it's all correct, anything to add: I am a long-time season ticket holder at Leicester City and still don't believe the wider football world and media have really understood or reviewed what has happened to Leicester City over the last 4-5 years. This year we seemed to have been grouped together with the other promoted sides as part of a group that claims it's hard to come up from the Championship and compete in the Premier League. We are unrelated to this narrative; our downfall is due to mismanagement by the club's hierarchy over the last few years. Firstly, let's start with the Brendan Rodgers era, which brought some of the best times as a fan. Winning the FA Cup, traveling around Europe, and success in the Premier League. Finishing 5th in both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons, we were genuinely starting to be considered one of the top 6-7 sides. In the summer of 2022, Rodgers had said quite openly that we needed a squad refresh to keep going. We made no signings, and it became apparent that we were struggling with FFP (Financial Fair Play) regulations. This was the first major sign of people at the top not running things correctly. We gambled on Champions League/European football with our player wages and finished 8th, missing out on European qualification by four points. We went into the 2022/23 season with the 7th highest wage bill in the Premier League, no new players, and a manager who increasingly started to look unhappy. We lost Schmeichel in the summer to get him off the wage bill, and Fofana messed us around, not playing until deadline day. This meant we didn't sign a new center-back. We also didn't sign a new keeper, and Danny Ward was thrust in. We started the season horribly, though we picked up form before the World Cup. We made some dreadful signings in January to try and get us out of difficulties. However, we ended up going down by 1 point on the last day. Maddison's penalty miss against Everton a few weeks earlier really was the turning point. Here we are, having broken FFP rules, being relegated, paying Rodgers' leaving fee, and with the 7th highest wage bill. Players on ridiculous wages were happy to sit and not play. That summer, we had to get rid of our assets: Maddison and Barnes left for fees below their real value. Tielemans left on a free because he didn't sign a new contract. The club said there would be an internal review that summer, and apparently, it happened, but fans heard nothing about it. We were very close to appointing Scott Parker, but at the last minute, Maresca was interviewed and impressed so much that he got the job. Again, the board didn't plan for this; they got lucky. Last season in the Championship was fun from a fan's perspective, as Enzo seemed to bring back some optimism. I do feel a bit sorry for the club that Enzo did so well and looked like he was building something, then Chelsea came along and pinched him. He seemed more for the fans than the board and didn't like how things were run. We had local lads doing well for us, like KDH. Looking back, we should have walked the league, but it did get tight, though we got the job done. We finished with 92 points but not without drama. However, now we have found out we broke the rules again! Last summer, with an impending points deduction, we went for Steve Cooper, as he was the only capable manager who wanted the job. Nothing against Cooper as a person, but it was never the right fit. Going from Enzo ball to his style wasn't suitable. We had tons of Premier League experience, but Cooper kept saying all summer that we needed more, so he brought in the likes of Jordan Ayew, Oliver Skipp (£22 million!!), and one of the worst signings ever, Bobby De Cordova Reid. All three of these signings have been awful, and don't get me started on Odsonne Edouard; he played four times, wasn't in the squad, and cost £8 million! Sacking Cooper was right; we were going nowhere with him—no game plan, just a hope that Vardy might score. Then came Ruud, and there was optimism with him. Fans thought we would be scoring and would use the youth we have in the squad. But no, it's been a disaster. He wasn't backed in January, and we didn't score at home for four months, going over 12 home matches without a goal. We played the same team week in and week out. Absolutely dire. The season is over now; we knew our fate in January. The club hasn't issued any statement on the relegation, we have another looming points deduction, Vardy has left, and we have no idea who the manager is going to be or what will happen with the squad. This club was seen as the best-run club in the country only a few years ago; we made it to a European semi-final! (2019-20 UEFA Europa League). Now we are in dire circumstances. We have a large, loud voice among fans asking for change or anything from the club. But nothing, and people are starting to just lose interest. You have a lot of fans I sit with, often older ones, who won't hear a bad word about the hierarchy and seem to happily overlook the problems. John Rudkin, in any other industry, would have lost his job years ago. He has overseen the demise of something great. We have broken the rules multiple times, lost so much money, and don't see any change. They treat the fans poorly. Top, the owner who took over from his late father, seems not to know what he is doing because he is advised by the person he needs to fire, Rudkin, the same man who runs his horse racing empire and other ventures at King Power. The fans want some kind of change, but we hear nothing. They don't do interviews or even release club statements anymore. It is so sad what has happened to my club. Modern football and the Premier League are dreadful for a match-going fan now, and with this also happening, people are losing interest in the sport.

Club should sue him for defamation. Just making things up. Problem is other teams fans will take it as truth.

Looking for 1 ticket. Can meet in London/Brentford. Please just give me a shout!

Got 2 spare tickets tomorrow, both people dropping out this morning because of illness. One adult ticket, and one over 65. Can meet outside the stadium.

Does anyone have a copy of this they can send over? Want to give it another watch. I did have it on a hard drive, but plugged it in recently and doesn't seem to be working. Need to get it fixed somewhere.

Saying it now, we had Bocelli in 2016. But on Saturday, post horn gallop, players come out and Jersey Budd in the centre circle, just a guitar, live performance of When You're Smiling!

Would like Summerville, but if Leeds don't go up I think some big Prem clubs will come after him. I think we would be priced out of the deal.

Getting this banner made up for Watford. Does anyone know how I can make sure some jobsworth steward doesn't take it down?

I know for a fact that it was Jesse Marsch's fault for this falling through. Last minute rang Leicester and called it off, he had changed his mind. Jack and Brendan weren't happy at all, he wanted to move in the end.

Well, you should know more than anyone else, what does Pep say in his book about plans? "If Plan A doesn't work, you keep trying till you make Plan A work. There isn't a plan B or C" (this is not a direct quote) Enzo is straight out of the school of Pep, he's done pretty well in management, hasn't he?!

Been a season ticket holder in the KOP for 15 years, wasn't able to go last night tho because away with work. However, when I saw the comments I knew exactly what it was about, and all around where I sit we have these moaners. I don't understand when Enzo has said multiple times this is how we are going to play, enjoy it or leave. This is modern football, this is how you control games, this is how you break an opponent down. We all know our two CBs don't have much pace, so would never make sense to lump it long, and then they have the chance to do us on the counter. You don't hear it that much at away matches tho. There seriously needs something to be done about the atmosphere in general at the KP. But when I turned it on last night (don't ask me how I can watch it), I was not surprised about the empty seats, crap atmosphere. There were a lot of other factors that affected last night: Third home game in a row Shit opposition Late kickoff, and cold/crap weather at the moment. It's late Jan, and everyone is fed up and skint. I can guarantee it gets to springtime, we are nearly promoted or even about to win the league. The stadium will be full, the atmosphere will be good, and you won't hear of these moaners. There were a lot of other circumstances around last night, not just the style of play. We all know we shouldn't be in this league, and the quicker we bounce back the better. If we were playing even Palace last night, the stadium would have been a lot better. We are entitled, and I can understand when people say they just can't get up for these types of games, yes it's Swansea at home, Tuesday night in the cold. 2 years ago I was in Eindhoven town centre in the baking sun, loving life. We take our medicine this season, we support Enzo and the team because it's all about building again for next season.
