In the DG upper, yeah. Make it cheaper in the other stands so people who get matchday tickets there can get them in another stand. That would mean no Town fans would be paying £35, therefore wouldn't be allowed. I thought the rule was away fans couldn't be charged more than home fans in a similar part of the ground? Not our fault if none of our fans decide to sit in that part of the ground. Plus you could probably make the argument that their facilities are better (although I've never actually been up there) |

Yes but its outside the the number we have to give them, its them asking for more we have no obligation to give them any... supply and demand if you ask me. .. |

might be in the 5 year plan to allow the ground to be taken over each end of season by the champions(elect) and the runners up, plus anyone in the play offs or having a chance of the play offs..
if we keep ending up 16/17 or below that leaves a lot of scope for us to make money off the more successful teams???
When we go to Derby should they lower our allocation to allow more home fans to attend??? or just cancel it altogether to fill the ground with home fans..
Leicester will have a number of home games to celebrate promotion..we may well be safe but its not guaranteed as yet.

At least Leeds charge their home support in the John Charles stand the same as the away support. If it was up to me then away support would get charged the same as they charge us regardless of facilities, but it isn't. |

Those saying if they have to move then they wouldn't renew/go again - Jesus Christ, it's a seat. It's not like they'd be saying you can't watch the match (which sometimes would be a blessing!) Is it the principle? Sorry if I'm being blinkered but I don't see what the big issue should be. Either way, as a one off it wouldn't be a catastrophe.  |

Is it the principle? Sorry if I'm being blinkered but I don't see what the big issue should be. Either way, as a one off it wouldn't be a catastrophe. Agreed- totally lost on me. Can't ever imagine that being moved from a seat would genuinely make me want to stop supporting my club, absolutely unbelievable if people would do this. Obviously if people really wouldn't want to watch the game from another stand because of whatever reason then fair enough not renewing, I suppose. But doing it through principle is just crazy. So many other clubs have moved home fans to accommodate away fans but ive not noticed a correlation with reduced attendances because of it. My personal thoughts are that if we're intending on doing this in the long run then there has to be proper thought put into getting home fans in the south stand. We can't lose the BR south end too regularly without replacing it with an equivalently crowded/noisy area. For a one off though, or to set a precedent to safety groups re: location of away fans, it should absolutely be trialed. |

Hi guys and lasses,looks like we have asked for the extra allocation...i know some fans are against this, but Leicester have done this in the past With Sheff Utd and Chelsea amongst others,to be fair we are not a rival and we are going to bring in some extra income for your club so really its a no brainer for me.

Place is gonna be full of media, tv cameras, paps from the Sunday papers etc, let's show the club and fans off by welcoming the Leicester promotion party and being part if it. Fk me, it's got to be better than having a Yorkshire love in with a bunch if oafs from Barnsleh.

No one will be swindled though.if they want more than the allocation they get then they can pay for the inconvenience of town fans who will have to move, extra policing and stewarding. ..otherwise stick to 4k...why bend over for them? Pay up or dont come. |

The extra income to the club is all that matters in this game providing we are safe and would be nice to see many bums on seats and a good atmosphere instead of sitting in the same old graveyard . I remember the Newcastle party when they had in the region of 18,000 fans in the old Leeds road ground which sadly included 6,000 fans that didn't pay also the old Wimbledon team celebrations which included bollock squeezer Vinnie Jones and of course the Wigan party. |

play it at their ground, town promise not to sell any away tickets and they can have the whole ground to celebrate in..
ffs, its a competitive league game which we should be looking to win and doing everything "legal" to do so..lower the price for home fans and get bums on seats in the home areas.. spoil their day as best we possibly can..
they can celebrate at home..not interested in how much atmosphere they bring to our ground..
I believe sky are looking at covering the game anyway..cash from that might allow us to cut prices significantly.

The only way it could be shown is if it took place on the Thursday (and with both teams playing on the BH Monday before that, I'd say there's little chance of that), as they already have a live FL game on the Friday night, the Saturday lunchtime, as well as PL games in all available slots on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday. They only have 2 games left to pick this season, both of which will be held back for the final day (as normal). |

On Ted's clip can you see the "white hot" atmosphere of the cowshed in comparison to the mac?
On the wider subject, I'm not sure £75, 000 is the pot of gold some are making it out to be compared to p*****g off an as yet unspecified number of season ticket holders.
Not certain it's that smart a decision for a "business" to make, never mind a "club".
There are a few players to whom I'd sooner pay £75, 000 less to and risk pissing them off, before supporters who've bought season tickets in good faith.

No, it didnt work nicely against Sunderland. Town fans were moved out of "their" seats for away fans...some of them called it a day and stopped going. Really? Wow. I never thought 'fans' would stop watching their club ever again just because they had to change seats for one match. |

Haven't read all pages on this. But, surely this is the same as the FML trial that took place against Barnsley? People were moved out of the stand to accommodate the 'lads'?...
Don't recall this being a problem - don't remember hearing people saying the weren't going back? Don't think anyone is kicking up a stink again about the Bolton match either? Could be wrong...
Just to clarify (before anyone picks me up!). I voiced my concern on here about not being able to reserve my seat in the FML next year...wasn't happy. However, I have chosen to move to another stand. Never said I wouldn't renew!

The differences between the FML trial and the Sunderland game all those years ago, are that this is a trial for home fans, and that they're not being moved to accomodate away fans. For a lot of people I'd imagine that's the difference between whether they consider it acceptable to be moved or whether they're angry at the club for moving them.

If i was one to be forced out of my seat i wouldn't go so far as not renewing my season ticket but i'd seriously consider not bothering going to the game. Not for the inconvenience of being shifted but because, like some have already said, i'm sick and tired of our ground being everybody else's end of season party. It's happened so many times in the last 20 years it's beyond belief. We'll most likely get turned over very easily with 4,000 of them there but with 7,000 of them it'd be unbearable.

Of the £75000 you can knock £15000 off to hand over to the VAT man. I'm off to Lanzarote for a jolly so my ticket is going begging for £100 + VAT !  |

Pretty pathetic that fans have in the past not renewed for being inconvenienced for one game and that they wouldnt go if they were to be inconvenienced for one more game.
This whole "my seat" thing pisses me off, if you were on the terraces would you have your reserved standing spot - like balls you would. I'm a member at YCCC and don't get a reserved seat, it's nice to move around meet new people and take in the game from a different perspective.
It probably won't happen but some need to get a grip.

I haven't looked into this so I might be missing something obvious, but can someone explain to me why this is such a significant game in terms of Leicester's promotion? Didn't think we played them in the last 2 games or anything; or am I wrong there?

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread so my point might well have been made already... but what if we still need points to stay up and they have 7,000 fans cheering 'em on? Will look like a right cock up from us. Be like a home game for them. Can't see Leicester being charitable at their celebration party and gifting us a result.
If it could be arranged at the last minute, if we know in advance that we are safe, then fair do's.
