A real kick in the teeth for the "stop moaning and pay your money" brigade :)

They'll be devastated.  Hopefully the club can screw over the fans in other ways to make up for it.

Great work, can’t imagine there will be much in the way of general sale next year bar a couple of carabao cup games, but nonetheless a great

result if you want to try before you buy :appl:

Think, at least, the club should offer an apology over this.

 

Supporters, not customers.

Worth highlighting that the club have said they would set up a follow-up meeting in a few weeks. So if anyone has any further comments, please send them to UFS or the Foxes Trust for inclusion.

 

One other point that is linked to this which was raised in the meeting yesterday was about why we give away teams over 3,000 tickets. Essentially this is a reciprocal thing where in return we get a larger allocation at the away leg. Cov being a good example. We wouldn't have gotten 4,500 otherwise.

 

We will be mentioning about Norwich and WBA though because they both only gave us 2,000 so I hope we return this with a small allocation so we can offer more to our home fans.

 

@Ashley I believe you asked this in a thread somewhere? Apologies if I got the wrong person.

All I can say is well done to those who have persevered with this. I will always have a season ticket and have had for 18 years but that started with my Dad buying general sale tickets back then!

Great work

 

 

Ridiculous that it was even necessary mind

Exactly is embarrassing that fans and new fans couldn’t even previously go to games due to no general sale. The more you think about it the more mental it is

Well done to both groups. The fact it's still only a "we'll trial it for the Swansea game and then review" (cup homes are always gen sale) is a laugh, you'd think you were trying to get them to give tickets to criminals not sell them to their own current & future fans lol, ah well step in the right direction at least!

And Ipswich.   

 

They gave us 2000 tickets (out of nearly 30000), and we gave them the full 3300!   Not even a reduced 2600, which would've still been a higher % than they gave us.

 

This is just rank incompetence.

We just wanted to highlight the above, any issues re General Sale (or as within the article below , difficulty of registering younger fans via the website to attend their first game or difficulties arising for Season Ticket or Membership guests who are unable to use/cannot access digital tickets.) We want to know about them

It's a small win for now but let's be honest, the last time we were in the Championship games like Rotherham were kids for a quid and were huge successes in building the family fanbase we have now. It shouldn't need fans groups to do this, there should be a football-minded person within the club hierarchy that organises things like this as an absolute basic. It's beyond embarrassing that the club needs it's arm twisting to even consider - shock horror - people can call a football ticket office in the morning for no strings attached tickets.

 

Well done to all involved in getting some changes but LCFC need to start acting like a football club again, not a supermarket with loyalty cards.

Can just see it now that after the Swansea game, they'll claim there wasn't many people that bought general sale tickets so they won't be doing it again.

It's really quite depressing to think they allow Coventry and Millwall fans in and have closed the door on their own supporters for so long. 

 

It should never take fans groups to turn things around, grateful to the groups of course but there is something drastically wrong with our club and having the door closed for so long means I've got no desire to rush back to buy a ticket, I've got used to not being able to attend.

I have mentioned it before. 

 

Our away end in the grand scheme of things is one of the biggest in the country. 

 

We need to take it back down to 3,000 in the Premier League and Championship we only have to offer 2,000. 

 

The club need to look at what Arsenal do. 

 

Removable poles where the police and stewards stand, this way the away end can be made smaller or bigger if it was a cup allocation and we had to offer more. 

 

You'd get more seats that way and no need for the netting we use.

Great effort for those involved to get the club to climb down, i’ve always resisted getting membership but little one really pushed to start going to game this season so I caved but glad that other people might now have the opportunity to come see a game without bribing the club first.
