A few blocks sold out, most about 50/50, away end not sold obviously. So I'd guess about 15k.

More than I hoped I'll be honest.

Ticket prices are a bit steep but nice of the club to issue a free forehead 'mug' stamp upon entry for those attending.

Or maybe it's a chance for some people to take their kids to a game for the first time without the place full of moaners like you?

Don’t know pal! A cousin visited last summer & it rained throughout his stay. I’m here two days & it’s due to rain all the time. 
 

Ho hum.

Looking again I might be over egging it tbf

[Winstonthedog]

Maybe should have turned back the clock and had a pay at the gate section ... for those who are undecided

Just over an hour ago....

 

"Not even ready for the game tomorrow, how lame are we?"

 

My comment was a tongue in cheek dig at the club for charging the fans around double the price of what most would probably deem appropriate for a Pre-Season friendly. Your out here moaning about a sponsor not being printed on the shirt in time.

 

Pot...Kettle N'all that...

Apart from the 3 behind the striker that is such a depressing Leicester team

[Dr The Singh]

Anyone in Lanzarote fancy watching this with the Singh?  I found a craft beer place showing this.

Nelson and Okoli are promising don't you think? 

[adejo92]

Didn't realise these play Forest 2 days after so not sure how strong a team they will field?

I like Nelson. Hard to say with Okoli. But as a team it's pretty depressing

I still think Vesty will play quite a bit… rightly or wrongly he isn’t that bad in this division. As long as Faes will be rid of.

Can't bear to think too much about  this.

It's going to be another long season ahead.

Bizarrely I’m quite looking forward to this today - interested to see how we line up and how we look tactically 

[supernuk]

Is this available to watch on YouTube?

Yes, link at the top of the thread 

[adejo92]

Yeah, this is the first friendly that I feel 'matters'.

 

Not the result so much, but more so I think those that play, and the style of play, will be a real indicator for how we go into this season.

 

Will be a real test though because whilst they are likely to be good, much like Koln,  they wont be any better than a lot of teams we face this season and Koln made us look a bit sh1t....

Ayew over Daka. Can’t be arsed to watch that retard again.

That comment tells us more about you than it does about Daka.

[Micky]

It should be the first choice XI for 60 mins and then some changes...

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Will be interesting to see the lineup today. It should in theory be the side that starts next week (injuries permitting) and might give us an insight into any players close to moving on. My guess is we will line up like so;

 

Stolarcyzk

 

Choudhury

Faes

Nelson

Thomas

 

Winks

Ndidi

 

Mcateer

BEK

Monga/Mavididi (depending on Stephy fitness)

 

Daka
