LcfcBaker Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 quite ludicrous replies these. it's his ticket, he can't use it, he's probably bored and he's made a thread giving his ticket away (he doesn't have to) designed to have a bit of fun for anyone involved, for himself and ultimately give someone the chance to use his ticket. what the hell is everyone's problem? he hasn't said "you can have the ticket in exchange for your wife and 8 years of slavery". just trying to have "a laugh" and help someone out. "making people grovel is not the leicester way" wtf does that even mean. spot on
Izzy Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 Firstly I'd like to blame my brother who's taking (my) the family season ticket for the Swansea game,hence the grovel. 10 months ago I played in a supporters match at the KP,for which we also paid for my dad to have 45mins at left back. My dad used to be a top player...40 years ago.During those 40 years he's enjoyed a few beers or two.Finally given his break playing at the home of Leicester City he run up and down the by-line,as quoted by the manager John Sinclair "like a lunatic". His mind was set to Jeff Schlupp but his body was more hungover Rab Douglas. After the final whistle my dad had run his heart out...quite literally.After complaining he didn't feel well we took him to the hospital to discover he'd had a minor heart attack.The terrific staff at Kettering hospital did wonders to fix his heart and I'm pleased to say he's alive and well but certainly one 90mins at the KP I'll never forget. Apologies for the X-Factor-esque emotional story but 10 months after potential losing my dad,I could be with him in the Kop watching our beloved Leicester City win the Premier League... Would be willing to donate £50 to both the Foxes Foundation & British Heart Foundation for the ticket. Blue Army ⚽️ Clear winner. Good luck mate..
bob sanders93 Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 He's my not so funny, more just stupid foxes (vs Swansea) story. I'm from Southampton and I drove up for the Swansea match last season, I wanted to watch us in the premier league for the first time, but for some reason left it late and was quite stressed to get in counting house to meet my brother for a pint before the match. When I got their I was excited to see us play for the first time in ages and brought us a few drinks... Then we necked a few more and made our way to the ground. We have a another beer before that match and at half time... It wasn't until I left the ground quite pissed that I RELALISED I DROVE THERE! Not wanting to break the law and drive home I had no choice but to stay the night in Leicester. After a few more beers to celebrate I booked us into the Hilton for £250+ Don't regret a thing... Even as a poor student at the time! I checked the actual story is under 150 words
johnny the fox Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 I was diagnosed with glaucoma a while back ..I may go blind at any time now , my only wish is to see my beloved city one last time, before my sight is cruelly taken.. Just think what this kind gesture would do for sad but hopeful soul such as myself.. I still have faith in human nature and the bountiful kindness of a fine good gentleman such as yourself.. PS. I get fitted for a guide dog in three months..
LestaFox92 Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 my lifes shit I'm on the doll my girlfriend just left me i've just had my first 2 texts in 48 hours ones from domino's and ones telling me I've got clap and not only that I also had a season ticket while craig levine was in charge none of this is true except for the doll.... and the clap craig levine also
Bettsj2 Posted 23 March 2016 Posted 23 March 2016 since the age of 6 when my father first took me to a match, we've enjoyed a strong relationship. He's always been there for me without hesitation. 4 years ago I moved away from Leicester to Cornwall. He helped me move, completed a countless amount of DIY returning to Leicester with a tear in his eye. I forgot his next birthday. 2 years later, he had a problem with his heart that resulted in him needing a triple heart bypass. I didn't go back. I have been an awful son to a wonderful father. He recently retired from a job that had changed over the years thanks to government cuts that it has made him ill bringing on the dreaded depression. he sent me a message saying, 'If you can get me a ticket for any game, I'd appreciate it'. I want to be able to tell him yes.
Larry_LCFC Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 What could have been a great gesture seems more like some weird twisted powertrip. Grovel to me and beg on your knees and i might give you a ticket. Well how about you give the ticket to me because I have a really small penis. Jokes. My name isn't brisfox.
Shinji-San Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 Well I have never been to a football game, and despite trying it looks as though I won't be able to get a ticket for this season. I only live about 12 miles from the KP and would love to experience my first game with the electricity of the City fans. Hope there isn't a lot of nastiness and racism around football stadiums these days like I heard there was in past years, or I wouldn't want to go anyway. But that aside, this seems like the right time to experience it. Chance I could be hooked and a season ticket holder next year, chance I wont like the experience, I don't know, only one way to find out. My pitch, not funny, but thats it. I'd buy a home ticket, any ticket if anyone was selling.
Gforce19 Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 I am going to show my age with this story and it is true, 31 years ago when I was 15 years old myself and a few mates went up to Liverpool away on the train , when we finally arrived we had about two hours until kickoff , bearing in mind no internet, no mobiles and no nothing !!in fact thinking about it how did we get anywhere ??? When we arrived my mate who was a clever guy said we would be better off walking to the stadium, also bearing in mind it was the mid eighties we knew the minute anyone heard us talk we would probably be beaten up , walking to the stadium seemed a good idea , My mate had his A-Z of Liverpool ( a street map in those days !!) We walked for an hour and a half towards "Liverpool stadium" as it was clearly printed on the map , we couldn't understand why there were no fans anywhere to be seen and then as we walked and walked we were more and more concerned , by now it was 2:30 and it seemed like we were in a Liverpool wasteland not about to watch a first division football match , we noticed a couple of Liverpool fans standing at a bus stop and asked where is Liverpool stadium, as it says it is close by on the map , they absolutely pissed themselves with laughter before finally saying you are going to a boxing hall and Liverpool play at Anfield , they told us to get on the bus with them as it would arrive soon and go straight to Anfield , we couldn't believe it , but did make it to kick off just. If that is stupid enough and funny enough please give me the ticket , I would really appreciate it , I would be sooooooooo happppppyyyyyyyy
Vlad the Fox Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 Word of warning, don't type big tarts into google images. The most thematic linked images on Google.
TJB-fox Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 Current success is blessing and a curse. My dad used to have a ST when he lived in Leicester nd went to atletico Madrid away etc and I Used to be able to go with my old man a bit in league one (7/8/9) games per season, similarly in the championship. Can't get to many as live in Bristol and obviously football isn't a cheap day out. But since we've been doing well, getting tickets has become virtually impossible and this season has been horribly brilliant because of that.
Renart Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 If you just hadn't put the bit about grovelling and pathetic I think most people would have seen it as the genuine offer it is. If you'd just put, "I have a spare ticket who wants it, tell me why. The best answer wins." You wouldn't have got any stick. Agreed. I don't think you meant to be insulting but I shuddered when I saw the words 'grovelling' and 'pathetic' - and I am usually pretty objective and try to give the benefit of the doubt. Probably just a bad choice of words and a post that was not thought through as you got caught-up in the excitement. Why don't you re-think the idea and do something a little more worthwhile with the ticket. Pick a charity and get everyone interested to pay £5 into a justgiving account. Advertise it on here and then after a couple of weeks draw the lucky winner - they will still have to pay you for the ticket of course. If people want to put more than £5 then £10 would give them two entries etc.. I have put £5 but £10 is also not unreasonable considering people have been paying £40 for a Silver Membership and a chance of a ticket. As for charity ideas you could go with something like http://www.textellis.com/. I think he actually reached his target, by cycling to every away match in the 2013/2014 season, but they are still raising money for other projects. Just a thought, good luck and enjoy the game.

HighPeakFox Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 Have some pride! Don't lower yourself F uck him! I really really hope this is sarcasm, but even if it is, it ain't funny. Either that or you just haven't read Betts' post properly.
davieG Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 I think the OP has made a rod for their own back trying to pick a worthy recipient but it makes me smile it wasn't that long ago when for several seasons I've not been able to give tickets away on here.

ElusiveEd Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 OK, here goes., I still get a lot of ridicule over this......... LCFC had their old style badge (the shield shaped one with the foxes head and two crossed riding crops behind it) for over forty years, since 1948/9. I had it tattooed on my arm on a Friday, sometime during the 80's and promptly went to show it off at my local pub, being praised for my commitment to the club I love. Three days later, on the Monday, LCFC changed the badge. I was GUTTED! FOURTY YEARS!!!! and THREE DAYS LATER......???? I ventured back to the pub the flooding night and got so much piss taking and mockery. It's still there and often when it's noticed I tell the story behind it, much to the mirth of those listening. Surely after over 30 years of piss taking I should be allowed this ticket?

A bit ironic for me as my spare used to be my son's who's now living in Norway and is over here for the Swansea game but can't get a ticket. If all else fails I'll let him have mine and watch it on the tele which will be the first home game I will have missed for many a year.
fox in the sox Posted 24 March 2016 Posted 24 March 2016 I was in the Walkabout Pub in the City centre one Wednesday evening around 8.22. I went to the toilet with a diarrhoea issue and couldn't believe who was coming out of one of the cubicles - my favourite player Andy King. I was star struck so just continued to relieve myself. At around 8.28 I returned to my mate Dave at our table. I looked around but couldn't see Kingy anywhere. I said 'I thought I saw Andy King in the bog but can't spot him now.' Dave said 'Oh yes, he's always going Walkabout before disappearing completely.'
