davieG Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 Apologies to Boosmanana. What I would say is if you heard this yesterday afternoon how come it's only just being announced, especially as I made a special trip to the ground late yesterday afternoon to get my tickets. But what a bloody fiasco this close season is turning out to be. Games on / off Players signed / not signed Players promised by certain dates then not delivered. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons but piss up and brewery come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 Well you were right - Inter have pulled out due to security concerns.

davieG Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 why did no-one believe me? 142740[/snapback] Well I think the fact that I bought my tickets at 4ish yesterday and the statement on the Inter site at 8ish last night might have had something to do with it.

Steven Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 why did no-one believe me? 142740[/snapback] The reasons are fairly simple. First your previous piece of information was incorrect, thus far. You are new to the forum and there have been any number of people who join and then post crap rumours like defenders not signing due to arguments with Rob Kelly. Once bitten, twice shy.

Matt Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 why did no-one believe me? 142740[/snapback] I didn't believe you but didn't question you, I thought it'd be best to say nothing because as I have said for years and as DavieG has said the Club couldn't arange a piss up in a brewery, therefore on these kind of subjects I have no opinion on them until they are set in stone...then the club still manage to fuk them up sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 Very dissapointed with Inter Milan, they were going nowhere near the centre of London on this trip and I have to believe they are using it as an exuse to escape contractual obligations.

Tommy Posted 23 July 2005 Share Posted 23 July 2005 Source os Leicester City will be seeking substantial damages from Inter Milan after the Italian club cancelled their four game tour of England earlier today.Milan had been due to open their tour with a prestige fixture against Craig Levein's Foxes at the Walkers Stadium on Monday. But just two days before the game - which had been expected to attract a crowd of between 25-30,000 - Inter officials informed City by fax on Saturday morning they would not be coming to England for security reasons. A City spokesman said: "We are extremely disappointed in the actions of Inter Milan. "We will be contacting the Football Association and UEFA and we shall also be seeking substantial damages from Inter. "The club has already incurred substantial costs in preparing for the fixture and we had expected a crowd of up to 30,000 supporters - all of whom will be very upset by Inter's late withdrawal. "Regarding Inter's concerns over security, we have worked closely with the local police and safety advisory group and they informed us they had no security concerns for this fixture and were perfectly happy for it to take place." On their official website, Inter have made the following statement: "Football takes a step back because of increasing serious events which touch the sensitivity of everyone. For this reason, and given the situation, the club has decided to cancel the team's tour of England." City will be liasing with Inter's three other scheduled tour opponents - Norwich, Portsmouth and Crystal Palace - in the coming days to formulate a united response to Inter.
