Happy Fox Posted 10 August 2012 Posted 10 August 2012 http://www.safc.com/news/20120810/oneill-relishing-leicester-return_2256213_2874092? "I loved it at Leicester City," O'Neill said. "The start wasn't all that brilliant - in fact it was pretty poor - but we turned things round and it worked out well. "I will always have fond memories of Leicester. I had a great time and made a lot of friends at the club. Some of them are still there and hopefully I will be able to meet up with them before the game. "They are another great club with possibly even bigger potential than I thought because I was involved at the old Filbert Street. "It was dilapidated but really it was a great, great ground." City finished nine points outside the play-offs in the Npower Championship last season, eventually ending the season in ninth position. They are shaping up for a run at promotion this term under manager Nigel Pearson and O'Neill believes the Foxes could well be successful. "Leicester will do well," he said. "They have a good squad, a good manager and ambition. The owners really want to press on and achieve promotion this year."

Bayfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Still waiting for an answer. If you want any clues, then this might help. think you have answered your own question if they dropped the games from 3 to 1 that would have avoided having to allow season ticket holders in to a decent game such as happened in europe for no extra admission charge. isnt that dropping/changing the system after realising tje ****ed up big time and cost themselves a small fortune.

You've changed the answer. For the record, we had the first three cup tickets included in the season ticket until the 2000-2001 season, where the only Cup ticket included was for the first UEFA cup tie. It's in clause 11 of the terms and conditions for that season's STs, and is very specific. So, you're wrong again.

Ha ha, how can you stand by a fact you've blatantly made up? Btw, you need a Caps Lock button more than I need a life, "mate".
shade Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 Ha ha, how can you stand by a fact you've blatantly made up? Btw, you need a Caps Lock button more than I need a life, "mate". what about a shift button?
Bayfox Posted 12 August 2012 Posted 12 August 2012 grammer police as well. how very big of you.xxx what a quality retort. as i've said i'll look into the agm minutes as i'm pretty sure the mercury reported the directors being unhappy at missing out on a nice payday for the club. hence why in latter years it got reduced and eventually scrapped. oh and on your original point although you don't see them as being free. a lot of people did as it was a benefit of a season ticket holder. there was no option to hold a season ticket but pay a reduced price for not including those vouchers afterall. so you may choose to accept they are part of the total package but peoples perception maybe different.
accessory Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 They are shaping up for a run at promotion this term under manager Nigel Pearson and O'Neill believes the Foxes could well be successful. "Leicester will do well," he said. "They have a good squad, a good manager and ambition. The owners really want to press on and achieve promotion this year." Didn't Mourinho say pretty much the same thing when Real Madrid came here at the start of last season?
Babylon Posted 13 August 2012 Posted 13 August 2012 Didn't Mourinho say pretty much the same thing when Real Madrid came here at the start of last season? I think he said "who the feck are Leicester City".
