On that note I'm stopping commenting tonight. I've been very angry tonight, not least because I never expected today to be the day that finished me as a regular supporter. But I've ranted enough about the prices. I can't change anything.

I think the days of a local boy done good and got rich, buying his local club are gone. That's was the ideal really. Most clubs our size these days will sadly be bought by large companies or corporations and they won't do it for charity. They will want something back out of it

I wasn't doing that if you re-read. I'm a non ST holder myself. I'm a member By tourists I mean all sorts of non local non Leicester fans, people visiting the UK who want to see a prem game, maybe people who want to see arsenal or man city but don't care much for Leicester, days out etc

I agree. But everyone means EVERYONE. If (when) I stop, someone takes my place. Season ticket holders are unlikely to stop as despite moans, the cost per game as a ST holder is the stuff of dreams for members. (Not that I blame them). I read on here somewhere that only around 3800 tickets are available on a game by game basis, after away fans, comp tickets for sponsors etc are deducted, so realistically the club only have to shift 3800 tickets to tourists (not hard in the prem I wouldn't imagine through these tickets sites that do football tours) even if every member boycotts. Prices are highly unlikely to go down if we are relegated too. Imagine that. £72 to watch us play the likes of Preston and swansea in 25/26. We are fxxked mate. Simple as that.

Couldn't give a fvck now. Millions per year partially funded by £72 match ticket prices!

I'm not sure if this is a bit simplistic but I have been looking at inflation calculators. It's incredible how the game has changed. My first adult ticket cost £5.50 in pen 2 in 1992. The equivalent today is £55 in sk1. Let's assume that wages have roughly doubled since 1992, 5.50 out of let's say an average wage of 250/300 quid a week is very affordable. £55 is much more of a chunk out of a wage of lets say 500/600 per week. Going by the calculator below if tickets went up with inflation a kop ticket should cost around £13.50. How can the club expect a parent to shell out roughly a fifth of their weekly wage on a couple of tickets for themself and a child. Fvcking appalling.

I second that. Well said

Ive toyed with the idea of lower league ground hopping to get my football fix. It will be good to see some old style grounds but the emotional attachment and passion won't be there. Just won't be the same as the joy when your lifelong team score a goal. But if you have kids and they want to support their local team, go for it I say.

Yep and the club won't give a single solitary f**k to lose you or that you have to tell your kids "sorry we aren't rich, we can't go". Cxnts of the highest order. I am a mix of sad and raging. I want to vandalise the club shop !!!

Don't matter now. Doubt I'll be able to afford getting to any of them!!!

Bang on. This is it for me I think. I can't justify it. City will be a one off treat for me and my daughter now, rather than a regular thing. And I'll begrudge that at those prices. They have actively got rid of a lifelong supporter here. Very saddening

FFS are they taking the p1ss. I estimated I would be priced out in a couple of seasons a short while ago. I think it may be this year I'm priced out. Absolute joke.

Running down to Dixon's on gallowtree gate after the game to catch the goals on central sports at about 515 in the TVs in the window as it was likely the only chance you'd get to see them replayed.

Who cares....as long as you have a good time 🤣

I called few weeks ago. They will email existing members when they go on sale

Trust me, you won't feel like we are in the championship when you feel the price rises, we are last on match of the day every week and have to put up with the absolute total c*nt (i wish i could find a stronger word but can't) that is VAR and your goal celebrations are muted after a 5 minute check 🤣

It you are affected by any of the issues in this post an eating disorder webpage to help can be found at: www.252pagesandnobodyknowstheend.com

Even so, I'd fancy our chances of getting something from both, over any established prem teams, especially Southampton who we do tend to score a few past in recent history.

Southampton and Ipswich first two games would be ideal. Wipe out the majority of any deduction then start mission survival proper.

Shout to the Top to give him the job.

What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre? (Source - partridge)

Don't let it get to you mate, loads of tw@ts who are brave behind a screen on here, and actually on the internet in general. Take comfort in the fact that if they behaved and spoke like they do on here in the real world, they would be getting punched in the pub every Saturday night. In fact part of me hopes they do.

There's lots lcfc and king power need to improve on but , and many will disagree with me here, I think the family experience is one of, if not the most, important. Local kids need to see their local team, attending games is how you get the bug, otherwise they end up supporting whoever wins the premier league or gets the most publicity. My first game was with family and it only took that one game to get me for life. I still remember it.....November 1990. Beat wolves 1-0. David Kelly at the kop end. I'm digressing but these things stay with you. My point is you HAVE to get kids in to have a fan base in 20 years time. Parents who aren't really football fans might take them as a one off if they could just pick up the phone and buy a ticket. But for say a dad/mam and two kids you have to shell out for 3 memberships before you can even think about trying to get a ticket. Most parents who are not football fans simply will not do this and i can't say i blame them. There needs to be some sort of trial scheme where first timers can get a taste ....or hundreds of potential young fans will be lost to teams they will never likely see in person

I've watched this a number of times. Was fantastic to be part of what felt like an old fashioned terrace goal celebration. Safe standing makes a hell of a difference. And you young uns.......look there are old geezers going mental too giving it big "limbs". Come on top and rudkin......give us this one thing if nothing else
