We’re thrilled to introduce our new Fan Zone trial, opening for the first time on Sunday 22 December as we host Wolverhampton Wanderers at King Power Stadium (2pm kick-off).

Located opposite the Foxes Fanstore, this new pop-up space will give you even more reason to arrive early and stay late, as we pack it with live music, great food and special appearances.
Head down from 11am to be part of the experience, which will be in place for selected Men’s home First Team fixtures for the remainder of the 2024/25 season, with an exciting new line-up for each match.
What can you look forward to?

 

Pre-match buzz: The Fan Zone opens at 11am. Expect pre-match build-up on stage and live music plus star turns from players past and present, with Sunday’s show featuring Ricardo Pereira and 2016 Premier League winner Christian Fuchs!

 

Street food & drinks: A range of competitively priced food and drink options, with something for all ages. Drink options include Chang beer priced £5.50 a pint, while our food offering includes pies (£4.50) and sausage rolls (£2.50) from Pukka!

 

Music & live acts: Enjoy sets from local favourites, with Sunday’s Fan Zone being headlined by the stars of our Abdul Fatawu signing reveal in the summer – The Mercians!

 

Big screen & stage: Catch all the action and entertainment up close, with a giant screen and stage creating a focal point for fans of all ages.

 

Post-match insights: The Fan Zone will be open for one hour after the final whistle, with food and drink available and on-screen post-match analysis from the Foxes Hub team.

 

Leicester City Chief Executive Susan Whelan said: “The introduction of a regular matchday Fan Zone to enhance and diversify our matchday experience is a topic on which we have received consistent feedback from fans in recent seasons. Having explored that feedback in further depth in our Fan Engagement Framework this season, we’re pleased to be able to introduce a Fan Zone trial from which we hope to learn a great deal.
“It’s our intention to use the remainder of this season to build a greater understanding of the demand for such a facility, what our fans want to see from it and how best we can develop that into a permanent solution that becomes part of supporters’ matchday routine.”

 

Key details:
Location: Directly opposite the Foxes Fanstore (Car Park C)
Timings: Our Fan Zone opens three hours before kick-off and will also be open for one hour post-match..

Very little originality, outside of the ex player and existing player being present, you have exactly the same as previously and what’s on offer in the concourses

Even more reason to arrive early and stay late you say 🤔

But it's imperative that I leave at least 15 minutes before the end of the game so as to beat the traffic I reply

Yes, whilst I like the Mercians a lot, I hope people spend their hard earned cash in the city, supporting local employment and business. This is another step further to club’s adding another amenity consideration to supporting the detachment of football club’s from their historic urban support. New stadiums are being built to accommodate such fan zones, to ensure fans have a similar experience to fosse park.

Tigers do this stuff so well.

£5.50 for a pint of that......yeah definately going to go early and stay after

Was gonna say this. The fan zone behind the main stand is great, seems fairly natural and makes the day a lot more worthwhile. This just sounds contrived and half-arsed.

Even their concourse offering is much better and they actually use the same catering company!

 

Just wish there was a bit more joined up thinking. There's no reason why the outside offerings at Tigers can't be shared with the KP given they usually don't play on the same day

I wonder if anyone will leave early so they can spend more time in the fan zone?

And it will be Walshy, as always

The only Fan Zone we want is that bloke from the Leeds game back.

 

"You are crying into your Hovis, my son!"

[Mike Oxlong]

Maybe an OnlyFans zone is the way forward ? 

[RoboFox]

Look, I love a pile on the club as much as the next FT div.

 

But it’s small lurch in the right direction to creating a bit more atmosphere pre-match that hopefully translates to the stadium.

 

Let’s wait to see how shit it is before we batter ‘em.

 

Besides, it’s only a trial. By the time the permanent fan zone & stadium development is complete in 2050, they might’ve actually got it half-right.

Does anyone know his background?

 

Remember a picture of him that got posted on here, showing him younger in a suit - so imagine that his behaviour changed since he was known at the football.
