MikeyT Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 ‪#‎lcfc‬ have confirmed pre-season friendlies against Walsall and MK Dons to take place this summer. From the official LCFC Facebook page. Can't see it on the website as yet.
Marmite Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Nice and local and may attract a few. Good memorys from League One as well. Walsall - For the snow ball fight between Leicester fans behind the goal and on the side. Also the stewards got snowballed and the police just stood in the corner and laughed MK Dons - For Max Gradel scoring at the end and the everyone going mental. Plus they had nice posh leather seats, not that anyone sat on them mind you
davieG Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Why don't they wait until the info has been put up on the OS where the link takes you, so amateurish.
1964FOX Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Nice for us who work shifts to know well in advance just waiting for the date for Anderlecht away now.
Leicester Lass Posted 2 May 2014 Author Posted 2 May 2014 Premier League preparations are gathering pace for the Foxes after the confirmation of their first two pre-season friendlies to be played this summer. Nigel Pearson’s men will gear up for a return to the top-flight on Wednesday 30 July (7.30pm KO) when they travel to the Banks’s Stadium to take on Walsall, before a Monday 4 August (7.45pm KO) trip to Stadium MK to tackle MK Dons. City’s title winners will be put through their paces against League 1 side Walsall – their first trip to the Banks’s Stadium since a 4-1 victory during the title-winning League 1 season of 2008/09. Lloyd Dyer and Andy King are the only surviving members of the matchday squad from that day, with the latter getting on the score sheet along with Matty Fryatt, Tom Cleverley and Steve Howard. Ticket details for the Walsall fixture on 30 July are still TBC. Preparations will then step up a gear again on 4 August with a trip to face Karl Robinson’s MK Dons at Stadium MK, which comes just a couple of weeks before the Foxes’ opening Premier League fixture of the 2014/15 season. City have only faced the Dons twice, both fixtures coming in the 2008/09 season. Pearson’s side won the home game 2-0 with Fryatt scoring twice, before drawing the return fixture 2-2 – Fryatt and Max Gradel getting the goals. Tickets for the MK Dons fixture are priced as below: - Adults & Over-65s: £12 (£2 discount for Season Ticket Holders if purchased prior to matchday) - Under-18s: £5 (£2 discount for Season Ticket Holders if purchased prior to matchday) - Under-12s: FREE with an accompanying adult (maximum of two Under-12s per adult) Sale dates for the MK Dons fixture will be confirmed on LCFC.com in due course.
Leicester Lass Posted 2 May 2014 Author Posted 2 May 2014 Not sure about the bit saying preparations will be 'stepping up a gear', there's only 2 league places between these two!
lgfualol Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Good, we need these types of tough games to prepare us for away trips to arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, etc.
1964FOX Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Well, a return to Walsall might be fun. especially if their goalkeeper Incy returned.
AKCJ Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Was Walsall Tom Cleverley's debut? I remember something about him in that game, did he score or was it the game he broke his arm or something? Either way I just remember him being awesome.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 especially if their goalkeeper Incy returned. Walsall was quality in League One. Mark Bradley's gone to Rotherham, though. Maybe they could take him on trial for one night?
Tubes Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Anyone know if there is any plans of a tour? Want to get flights etc booked asap if there is. Hopefully Thailand.
Lettsy Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 As a Leicester fan who lives in Milton Keynes this is great news. Can't wait, although I went to Northampton last year and it was terrible, forcing me to believe we'd have a rubbish season! How naive of me.
Wrighty22 Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 I hope we have another 'big' home friendly just before the start of the season. PSG or Juve this year would be good.
LCFC FOX Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Do people go to away friendlies? What's the atmosphere like
StanSP Posted 2 May 2014 Posted 2 May 2014 Does anyone remember the match vs Dons at the National Hockey Stadium ages ago? Tommy Wright scored a worldie of a volley if I remember correctly. We won 4-2?
