Bit of help

[georgec]

Hi all,

 

I'm writing a feature article for twentyfour7 football magazine on match days at Leicester City. 

 

With being away at uni for the past year I haven't been able to get to any home games over the last couple of seasons so just wondered if anyone could help me with the following;

 

-Where is best to drink for home and away fans?

 

-How much is a pie and a cup of tea?

 

-How much is a matchday programme?

 

Anything else worth mentioning about match days at the King Power would be helpful as well.

 

Cheers

The atmosphere is shit, the food is crap and the football isnt much better at times. Need to know anthing else?

[georgec]

Something a little more helpful would be appreciated...

[Larry_LCFC]

The programme is 3 quid if that helps. Dunno about the rest.

So you have not been to a match for two years yet are writing an article about going to a match.

Righty ho!

Unreal

I was a season ticket holder for 11 years previous actually. So, on that basis I think I'm fairly well qualified to talk about a match day there...

 

I was just wondering if anyone had any more input. Don't need unhelpful comments like yours.

Pie's are £3.20. Programmes £3. Not sure about tea as I don't have that.

Some right bellends on here.

 

He only wanted a bit of help.

The Half Time orange is now the Symphony Rooms, The Hotel has a 'new' bar called Kazkazini (sp)

 

There's still a bar just for ST holders.

 

Food hasn't really changed it's still expensive not bought any beer from inside the ground

[AKCJ]

I go to every home game.

 

I couldn't tell you how much a pie or pint is or where the best pub is. I go to the football and come home.

 

Give the lad a break, he's obviously not going to DMU, otherwise I think he might have gone himself. Just think about it.

[Strokes]

Give the guy a break ffs, its not like he has been rude, arrogant or obviously dishonest.

I can't help you much with current matchday experience as I don't get to many games these days but I'm sure someone will be helpful later. Good luck

Thanks for having my back and helping me regain faith in foxes fans intelligence!

Most Uni's don't start for another couple of weeks plus if he has already gone back he could have gone to any of our home games before now, it would put him in a much better position to accurately write an article that represents a home match experience and no doubt his article would be a lot better from having a first person account himself.

Generally the food prices have gone up, the atmosphere is non existent largely due to the football, opponents of little quality and lower numbers of away fans. Fans fixtures still exist but take up for these games is down on previous years.

There is little in the way of pre match entertainment.

Hope that helps.

Wow if ever there was a case for lazy journalism, whatever next....

[Vlad the Fox]

Town Centre is only 20 min walk. People should head there, pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, Richard III museum. Nearby is the counting house which accepts both sets of fans though bring a book or two to read while you wait to get served.

Oh and just so I am being helpful

1: why not call the club to find out prices for items

2: why not use google, as folk already have websites dedicated to away days etc, much easier to rip off work from there.

3: i hope your CV is honest

4: I trust you will use references on your article

5: Plagarism isn't big or clever

Some feature that will be, in fact if he went through this site he would find a whole host of threads from a wide choice of fans to use. How much is a cup of tea !!!! Maybe the best thing is not to print it

The editor wanted to include how much a cup of tea is, as they are covering all grounds across the country and comparing prices you complete moron

[abdulla the fox]

I for 1 can't wait to read your article. From the info your getting on here and from other the websites your going to use it should really make the match days here sound great.
