Registered interest for a season ticket. Anybody know how much these are for adult and child (6YO)?

“Competitively priced” was what we were told, Adult season tickets are generally in the £60-90 range, might be near the top end if we’re committing to x amount of games at the KP

That’s fair, happy to pay that to support.

Could do with knowing their home ground for this. 

 

What's interesting about that if it's a Leicestershire non-league ground, I'd expected we would have been hearing about ground improvements and rebranding.

King Power will host a couple at last word (big TV games), smaller ground for the rest

Which smaller ground? Hopefully Farley way still.

Holmes Park was mentioned a long while back which would cover the branding considering it’s already all LCFC there but I’d have thought work would’ve been noticed by now

Not sure if Holmes park would be suitable, what’s it’s capacity?

Only about 1000 so it would need work done and I’d imagine that would be public knowledge by now.

 

If anybody lives nearby go and have a look

Definitely looking at getting to a few games this season. I think we could see a decent size crowd at the first home game.

Sounds like a good signing. What do we reckon the ambitions are this season? Top half?

Win it 

 

Seriously though, if they all gel there’s no reason why we can’t be comfortably in the top half and more. It seems like there is real ambition to do well.

Based on current squads I’d have us 6th/7th so right around mid table, depending on how things shake out 5th is the upper limit in all likelihood. Getting sucked into that 10th/11th/12th relegation fight would be pretty disappointing considering how we’re building the team.

 

Going on the manager’s interview with Stringer last week it sounds like one more permanent signing and two loans to come in still.

Been sort of expected with her not really featuring last season & being away from the on pitch stuff for most of the season, class act as a person and glad to see she’s taking a coaching role

How odd that both the men's and women's teams should have a long-serving Captain Morgan retire in the same summer? Bizarre!

I know Holly. She is very hardworking and passionate about what she does. Good luck HM.

The family have done a wonderful job with the football club. Not only in getting them to where they are now but how they have generated such a friendly feel to the place, hopefully that can continue in this new era of professionalism. I’m glad she’s got herself a good position now she’s retired, reward for her hard work and she seems like a lovely person.

I love being a Leicester City supporter in 2021. I’m nearly 76, a fan since 1957, and it’s never been as good as it’s been the past 15 years or so.
 

From relegation to the Third Division and a bounce straight back to be Premier League winners (via a record-winning Second Division championship) and FA Cup winners. Everything I ever dreamed of - and knew we’d never achieve.

 

Now we’ve a women’s team that could, in what remains of my lifetime, go on to really great things. For fans like me who remember Harlow, Wycombe, Stoke and the rest, it’s a great time to be alive!
