This bloke must be absolutely honking in training not to be getting any minutes in this team. 3 year deal as well - fantastic business

Can't tell whether he's taking a first touch or playing a 4 yard pass

KDH is an incredibly ambitious player. It's clear that he believes he is better than the Championship and has shown visible frustration at the abilities of his teammates this year - most recently at Winks at the end of the Ipswich game when it's clear he blamed certain players for their equaliser. Even if we get promoted, KDH will know that we'll be in a battle to stay up next year. So as much as he may love the club, I can absolutely see that an established and upwards PL team like Brighton would appeal to him. A team like that is where he thinks he should be, and leaving his boyhood club is less important than his personal ambition.

Do we think that there will be that much of an increase in mobile ticketing tomorrow? I'd imagine given the negativity around NFC last year that very few people who had ST cards will have changed to mobile ticket. And probably quite a few will have changed from mobile ticket to card. I could be wrong but I think it'll be a similar situation at the turnstiles tomorrow to any other game last year.

As long as I get to hear Charlemagne by Blossoms pre-match, at half time, post-match and possibly in the split second before we score a goal, I'm happy.

Details about ticket forwarding have now been emailed out @001merp

I emailed the club about this, and they said that the information about how to ticket forward will be available in the next 48 hours.

Is Vardy injured?

I think that's correct about Preston - they will show mid week games on Foxes Hub with the exception of games chosen for Sky, for example Norwich (A) in September. It may be more than 9 matches a season though because they can show Bank Holiday games (unless they are picked by Sky). So potentially Ipswich (A), Huddersfield (H), Bristol (A) and Norwich (H).

LCFC website says it's Friday 29th March 12.30pm Bristol City website says it's Friday 29th March at 3pm

Last year, I received my NFC season ticket at the start of August. They email you and then you download it and it uploads to your wallet on your phone. Assuming they do the same this season, I wouldnt expect the email to come through until later in July.

Yes, you get the point for this game.

Surely away ticket availability is going to be heavily dependent on whether they continue with ID checks. If they do, then the vast majority of games will likely make members.

Odd that there's no mention of the award being voted for by the fans, as previous years... 2016: Algerian maestro Riyad Mahrez took the top prize at Leicester City’s 2015/16 Season Awards after being crowned Player of the Season by the Club’s supporters. 2017: Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was named Player of the Season by the Club’s supporters at Leicester City’s 2016/17 Season Awards. 2018: While Harry Maguire’s peers in the City changing room voted for the Players’ Player of the Season prize, the Player of the Season award was decided by a healthy margin of votes from the Blue Army. 2019: Ricardo was named Player of the Season – voted for by the Blue Army – and Players’ Player of the Season. 2020: Jamie Vardy is voted as the Football Club’s 2019/20 Player of the Season by Leicester City supporters. 2021: Youri Tielemans voted 2020/21 Player of the Season by the Club’s supporters. 2022: Maddison said: "I’m very happy, very humbled. I want to say thank you to every fan who voted for me.

Unexpected? Absolutely. When the gaffer called me up to say I'd won player of the season, I thought it was a prank call! But no, I'm honoured to have achieved such a prestigious award and I'd like to thank all the fans that voted for me. I think they've acknowledged the work I've done on the training ground this year and of course, it's great to see that my seven appearances on the bench haven't gone unnoticed. Favourite moment? Probably when the ball came over to the substitutes bench during the second half of the Liverpool game. I managed to quickly pick it up and throw it over to Timothy [Castagne] who was able to take a quick throw and create an attack from which we nearly scored a consolation goal. I also made a great save from a shot from Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall] in the pre-match warm up against Walsall. I definitely heard a fan behind me say what a great save that was, and that I should probably be considered for a starting position ahead of Danny Ward. Message to the fans? I know everyone will be disappointed at the results this season. But really, we are where we are, and everyone now needs to come together and focus on the job for next season.

When I relocated two seasons ago, you could only do it by phone. I told them the block that we wanted to move to, and they told me where they had availability. I didn't have a stadium map open whilst I was on the call so basically took a bit of a punt that the seats they offered sounded OK. They also wouldn't let me relocate my uncle and dad's seats along with mine - I had to get them to ring up separately to provide their consent that they also wanted to relocate with me. To be honest, although it worked out OK, it was a bit of a faff. It would be much easier and more helpful if you could do it via the website and just choose the seats in the stadium that you want to move to.

NEW FOR 2023/24: TICKET FORWARDING As a new feature of Season Tickets for the 2023/24 campaign, eligible Season Ticket Holders will be permitted to ‘forward’ their Season Ticket to friends and family members linked to their account who hold 2023/24 Fox Memberships up to four times per season. This feature gives added flexibility for Season Ticket Holders who may not be able to attend a particular game, while allowing their friends and family to benefit from attending a game in a seat which would otherwise have been empty. I noticed this on the ST renewal email last night. I think it's a step forward but still unfortunate that it's limited to members only.

Barnes missing this game in particular is a huge, huge blow - make no bones about it. Regardless of any lift in spirit / new manager bounce that Dean Smith may have brought, we know how this game sets up: Man City absolutely dominant in possession and control of the ball and us defending deep. Any chance we get of scoring will come from the counter - and Barnes is our most key player in that respect. Our chances of getting anything out the game are significantly reduced with his absence. As a result, I think that Tete and Daka have to start, as we need the pace.

Given I think we need 12 points from the last 8 games (37 points total), I looked at the PL form table for the last 8 games. Out of each team's last 8 games, 9 teams have got 12+ points (Arsenal, Man City, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Spurs, Man U, Liverpool, Brighton and Bournemouth). West Ham are 10th with 11 points. So, realistically, we need Dean Smith to make us into a top half PL team in these last 8 and we'll probably just be OK. We're up against it, but it's certainly not impossible.

Thank you - I hadn't thought of that.

I didn't know this until reading the resale platform FAQs today. I can't work out the rationale behind this - surely it's in everyone's interests that if a ticket is put on the resale platform, it is made available for purchase as soon as possible, rather than 7 days before the game. For example, I put my ticket for the Wolves game on the resale platform a few weeks ago. It is in J2, a block which is currently sold out on the website, yet my (available) ticket will not be listed for sale until Saturday. Makes no sense to me, particularly when the club wants people to use their resale platform rather than giving the ticket to family/friends!

Nothing in particular will happen, but I'm sure that the ticket office will note internally the non-attendance against your name. Although they say that it's random who they choose to collect, it wouldn't surprise me that over time those who have non-attendance records against their name are chosen to collect more often as they would be suspected of selling their tickets on to other people. So a one-off would be OK, but repeated non-attendance could result in sanctions. I think at the last fans consultative meeting they mentioned possible sanction could be the removal of all away priority points, but I don't think that's been confirmed yet.

Ah interesting - thanks. If he does come in for a 3 year contract, will be interesting to see who he brings with him over the summer. Presuming he follows the RB philosophy, it's going to be quite a departure from our way of playing over the last few years.

Does anyone know whether Marsch retains links with Red Bull? I know obviously he went through their coach development programme and managed some of their clubs, but is he just on his own now, or is he advised / managed by them?
