Kitchandro Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Every year on my girlfriends bday she gets a txt from them offering her free tickets shes never watched or been to a Leicester match in her life, yet me who has been following Leicester for almost 20 years with no connections to the city never gets anything typical. They're trying to replace you with her, bizarre tactics!
Bausor Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 They said it would go ahead.. you need to get to the ground. . Your fault
Babylon Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Think people are being harsh on the club. Surely it's the police' responsibility to make the decision when it concerns traffic conditions away from the stadium? I would have thought the club's responsibility ends with conditions in and around the stadium, which appears fine Being a non policed game the club should bloody consult them on away from ground issues. To suggest there are no problems with traffic is a disgrace, I left syston 3.15 hours ago and I'm only on queens road!!!
Larry_LCFC Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Made it to abbey lane without any problem. Now I've hit a slow moving traffic wall.
Mark_w Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Have patience... If Waggy misses a sitter, Mark will blame the snow! Don't worry, if I remain online I'm going to be moaning about the club most of the time.
Trumpet Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Not sure if this has been said amongst the many, many pages but my mate just sent me a text saying David Nugent just dumped his car and started running to the stadium with his boot bag! Somewhere around King Richard Road apparently! Don't post much but decided to for this! He could have got the bus from New Parks.
Thracian Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 One of my son's just rung me from Birmingham to say they've got six inches of snow now in Hall Green. The underlying ice is making roads and pavements treacherous and it's supposedly heading this way. It might miss us of course and I'm notsure it'll get here in time to greatly affect the match anyway - but it might make the journey home afterwards a bit lively.

But to be fair you were speaking to a call centre rep who is probably some student who has no idea what is going on. It's not as if Top is answering the phones.

Well you shouldn't have been messing about on your PC making jokes about fish then should ya! If you'd left earlier you'd have been fine!
aussie-fox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Is it a possibility to delay the kick off? That would be a smart move
dynamark Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Babs-syston to queens road?funny old route. Maybe a limo with your recent financial sucess
broughtonblue Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Not bad. 1 hour from broughton astley to saffron lane
Babylon Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Well you shouldn't have been messing about on your PC making jokes about fish then should ya! If you'd left earlier you'd have been fine! I'm floundering.
kingfox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Plus management not wanting a fixture pile up later in the season. Update... Just made queens road. Good lad, still a bit to go. Have patience... If Waggy misses a sitter, Mark will blame the snow! Probably, doubt he will get on though, this game would suit Futacs. Don't worry, if I remain online I'm going to be moaning about the club most of the time. That will be fun...NOT

Bluetintedspecs Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 There are now, realistically, two possible scenarios. a) The match goes ahead with a much smaller crowd than possible, the club look amature and upset a good proportion fans, myself included who couldn't get to the game. b) The club call the game off right before kick-off, upseting a good proportion of fans who were already in the city and able to get to the match. Either way they'll be upsetting fans because they didn't take the decision to call it off hours ago when all these issues were clear. Why? Greed. Exactly Mark should have had the balls to call it off about 3.00pm in my opinion!

To suggest there are no problems with traffic is a disgrace, I left syston 3.15 hours ago and I'm only on queens road!!! My experience wasn't quite so bad but it seemed to me that some of the major roads hadn't been gritted despite all the warnings and there was long-term gridlock on the approach to Western Park presumably because so many vehicles were struggling to get up the hill and because of what i assume to have been a resulting incident. Yes, there were alternatives - I took the Fosse Road, but it was still damned slow progress and the road surface was treacherous. Close to two hours for the half-hour journey from Leicester to my house!
MrSpaM Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Gutted my dads stuck in markfield and can't make it to town, and he has my ticket! oh well tv it is, least i wont miss it completely
wattolcfc Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Bert just tweeted saying he's heard from 2 different people that the game is now off.... The saga continues Edit: I'm too late.
AmyLGK Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 ****ING GUTTED - on twitter confirmed CANCELLED!
GingerrrFox Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 My mates just text me and said the game is gonna be off. Source - His Mrs is police and she's told him that the police have been trying to force the club to cancel the game since 4pm due to it being dangerous to public safety. Lets see who wins out Sky's financial muscle or the law. DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER JUST RELAYING INFO.
Corky Posted 18 January 2013 Posted 18 January 2013 Is it a possibility to delay the kick off? That would be a smart move But when do you start it? It's going to get worse later in the evneing.
