Going to the stadium tour on sunday but i'm not sure what entrance you have to use once your at the ground.

the one outside the West Stand, where the players usually go :).

 

If you're driving you can park at the back of the ground (behind the Kop).

My son and I had a real result on this tour…. They accidentally cancelled a group booking, so, him and I had our own personal tour from the Scottish chap (the one caught celebrating on the touch line in 2016)…. It was really good

 

have a great day!

Never done the tour, but does anyone remember an open day type thing they did back in about 2004? They basically just let everyone wander around wherever they wanted- I remember the changing rooms, baths, warm up room, tunnel, pitch side and dugouts without any real supervision. Could have been after an open training session?

Do you have any idea how many people are in a group?

Really enjoyed the tour 2 years ago just hope you don't get the the manu supporting tour guide. there are guides that are passionate about city and that shows in their tours according to friends but this guy was ok but not great.

I've done the tour a couple of times, really good. I remember one time on match day a mate had got a German friend who was visiting with him, we headed off to the reception and asked if we could have a tour and show the German around which to our supprise they were more than willing to do, a lady showed us around though explained that because it was match day we couldn't go in the changing rooms. Top effort by the club.

Just finished the tour, we weren't shown any trophies (just the tinpot ICC one in reception). Didn't realise until it had finished. Surely the PL/Championship/L1 replica trophies should have been about somewhere? :mellow:

They are in a glass cabinet in the owners room.

We weren't taken to the owners box, just the one next to Vardy's.

Yeah sorry, you're not taken to the owners room (not a box per se, it's riverside, not pitch side, and massive). Was just saying that's where they keep them. Even majority staff aren't allowed in there. I looked through the window on the door about a month ago, as close as I could get (I'm not staff).

 

To that end, if anyone wants to buy a single match used stud from the boot room or a piece of paper with the pre match script on it give me a shout. Or want to see Puel's room (it's full of expensive wine (might explain the recent performances)).

That really is piss poor. What did it cost because unless it was free I would complain.

 

This is like paying for a kasabian concert and they don't turn up. Ring TalkSport and tell them.

£15. Doesn't really bother me too much tbh mainly wanted to see the dressing rooms etc. But yeah I'd imagine some others wouldn't be too pleased.

I'd be interested if fans of other teams could tell us if you see your trophies on a stadium tour.

 

Obviously spuds fans can't help us. Yes you have won plenty but sadly so long ago they have all rotted away.
