when_you're_smiling Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 Surely if they limit it to local fans it makes calling it ‘a trial event’ pointless. It’s not a trial if people who weren’t going to be there anyway are used. It’s just an exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 Yeah, agree with the others, don't expect many (if any) of our fans to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 No way will they allow 10,000 people to travel from Leicester on packed trains and coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 They really should make mundane games test events, semi-final allocations will always be sought after and in high demand. I think the players would rather have their own support for such a big game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 I'm sure the report said both semi finals earlier. Now the one on BBC say's "one of the semi-finals". If its neutral/local fans I wonder which one they'd rather go to Personally, I've got no real interest in going to the stadium until attendance is substantial and you can have a decent pre-match. Not that I would have any chance of getting a ticket anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 I understand trialling the event with non fans. After all, if we went, we might have other more pressing priorities. There are too many people who behave without any consideration for others' comfort and safety - they existed before the pandemic, and I'm concerned their behaviour will be exacerbated once let off the leash again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, better than nothing I guess and they are building up to 20,000 at the final. That will be a real test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 I'm NHS and will have had both jabs by the time the semis roll around. That said I am in the peak district...so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravel Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 (edited) Yeah, with it just being 4,000 for the semi I don't think anyone needs to book the train just yet. They'll probably end up selecting the glory tie of Man City Vs Chelsea anyway Edited 29 March 2021 by Gravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoyleFox Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 It'll just be locals. It's all about testing the procedures and protocols, checking peoples behaviours and access. Has nothing to do with fans of the respective teams being able to attend. Which is why it'll be our one or Chelsea would have local fans who can attend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worth_the_wait Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 I don't care how many (or few) fans are in the stadium. Just so long as it's gets rid of that hideously annoying fake crowd noise on the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 29 March 2021 Share Posted 29 March 2021 BBC article states the one game. I read it as Chelsea v Man City. I didn't hold any hopes anyway. As long as fans are back for next season I'll be happy. Have to write this season off in attendance terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
