Im not criticising I’m genuinely intrigued as to why. I’ve given mine up, and my thoughts and feeling are clear as to why. 
 

But, it’s equally a sad indictment that fans who are renewing are mainly due to their kids, spending time with family, or because it’s something they’ve done forever. 
 

 

No one has yet said, because they at this moment in time love watching us and love going to support the club. 
 

Im merely gauging what the general mood is amongst renewing fans. 

That's a really good point as to who really goes because they still love the game.  I think very few if they were honest would admit they love the modern game.

 

My folks neighbours keep going but really don't enjoy it anymore.  It becomes a habit for vast majority and no wonder crowd atmosphere is dying.

 

If it wasn't for myself moving 55 minutes away and finding a new club to follow I'd have given up football completely.  But in fact watching my local non-league team rekindled my love for the game as opposed to the multi millionaire version we now have that has no genuine link to the community anymore.

 

I'm also bemused how anyone thinks a 2 year old wants to go to the football!  My word, it took me 7-10 years of life to want to go to football even though I supported Leicester as a kid and I looked forward to the day I'd go as I approached double figures.  I only started going in my teens mid week when I could get to the ground and I loved those mid-week games.  The attention needed is quite something else as it's hard slog for kids.  Plus the poor child is barely out of nappies in a facility that is not good for little kids but middle class World is getting more and more bizarre these days to say the least.

 

If I still lived within the county, would I still go... possibly I would but I'm not convinced I would.  Tbf the season ticket offers great value and perhaps that's why we have too many fans locked in which eventually gives us the decline in supporter base, not in terms of numbers but in terms of any output especially noise.  They just turn up now.

 

And one thing for sure, it's not our club, it never has been, and never will be - we simply rent a seat or a space - it's a perfect place to keep us in our place in society if we're really honest about why clubs were formed!

I’ve not enjoyed going to games for the last two years. Mainly due to the type of football but also the atmosphere (either none or toxic). It’s got nothing to do with the results. I can get behind a team that cares and puts the effort in regardless of whether we win, lose or draw and regardless of what division we are in. The poor planning, decision making and lack of accountability off the pitch is the other major factor. Who knows, maybe I’ll miss going to watch us in the future but not anytime soon. A lot has to change on and off the pitch before my enthusiasm is stirred again. That said I really hope that the new ST holders enjoy it and can help create a fresh start for the club. I’m still a fan and always will be but with what has gone on and what has been served up my patience and love of watching Leicester has worn thin. It takes a lot to make long term ST holders walk away but this set up has managed that by the thousands. I hope that the owner can start taking his obligations to the club and fans seriously now rather than sticking his head in the sand and expecting success without the commitment, application and at times difficult decision making that is necessary.  

Exactly how I feel. I'll be watching "from a distance" for the forseeable.

Been trying since yesterday morning to get my lad a ST with us…

seat was available, all ok via email..but I have to ring up to pay for it..

tried  all day yesterday to get through on the phone, can’t even get in the queue..

emailed the club…you have to ring to book the ST…. Sigh..

 

tried  all this morning again, no joy, can’t get in the queue..

emailed the club again to ask if they can reserve the seat until I get through on the phone…. Seat is now not available…

 

just so typical of this toxic club…

everything they do is a shit  show..

Genuinely, anyone who has purchased one of love to know exactly why? 

Just like going to the football, sing, shout, let off a bit of steam, its mine and my daughters "thing".  We dont do much else together just me and her.  Escape from everyday life for couple hours.  We enjoy it and city are our team. 

I go to games in Scandinavia and other games here now and again and there might be better atmosphere but the truth is the teams dont matter to us.  There isnt the same level of care or years of emotional investment that there is in city.  When these teams score or grab a winner it just dont matter to us, whereas when city do, it does matter.  You can't recreate that feeling even if you went to CL final.  Quite simply id miss it.

I’m in exactly the same position. 
 

You’re penalised as a parent because they’ve built a system which benefits only those who are old enough to be purchased online. Anyone with a child is forced to ring up to buy a ticket for them but they’ve done nothing to ensure you can actually get through. 
 

To then remove the option of buying tickets at the ground further benefits those who are buying for adults.

Getting a season ticket this season is tacit endorsement of the insane mismanagement of the club. There's a bitter irony that your inability to connect with another, smaller, local club for even a single year might put a brick in the wall of the club ceasing to exist in a few years. Time will tell.

Why did we get rid of the ticket office at the ground? Phone lines clearly are not working.

Tried to relocate earlier and couldn't get through, seats we wanted were then gone. Don't understand why its 2026 and you cant do it online

We relocated last season and went down to the ground to do it, but it makes it more awkward if you are not local, kicked a fuss up and eventually someone sorted it out there and then.

Has anyone got through on the phones yet. Still stuck in the purgatory of trying to purchase children’s seats over the phone. 
 

No replies to emails, no way to purchase at the ground, no one on the ticket phones, no one manning the lcfc help phone.

Genuinely you might be best to just turn up at reception and ask if someone can help you. They were doing what looked like drop in sessions a couple of weeks ago. As ridiculous as it is that you need to do that this

you would like to think the would be answering every single inbound call from people wanting to buy season tickets considering how much penny pinching they are going to have to do next season. Absolute laughing stock
