If anyone at the club reads this. You let those fans down tonight, your fans.

Not a good tactic this.

Not just tonight. 

 

How about restricting access to photos of the FA Cup? Withholding general sale tickets to the charity shield until the last minute?  Preferring to have half an empty end at Warsaw rather than sell tickets to ITS OWN MEMBERS?   

 

Somebody down there is seriously mentally unwell

Oh yeah big time. Been like it for a good few years, finally a few more are seeing it. Makes you feel disillusioned.

In all seriousness, what's the viable avenue we have to raise this and it be answered by those in charge? It's an absolute disgrace some of the decision making. We're all going to have to dress up as 75 year old women at this rate.

Well, personally I'm going to let the dust settle. Emotional complaining does no good imo. 

 

I will identify senior administration staff and send each of them a polite letter. 

 

And I'll escalate it from there if the answers are unsatisfactory. I'll escalate all the way if necessary, to Susan Whelan and, if that doesn't work, to Top.

It’s become glaringly obvious from these two European fixtures so far the club are actively against the type of fan that would normally make European away trips. Not so much Moscow due to the circumstances surrounding it but in general the type of fan that would do trips to Europe. White, younger males, lad type, stag do mentality, call it what you will. England away type crowd if you like. 
If the away end isn’t full of women, children and families, the club seem far from happy. This is why I imagine the Union fs lads are coming up against more and more resistance. The brutal truth is they don’t want that type if they can help it. 
Fair play to the 25, deserve far more thanks from the club. Much respect to you all and safe journey home.

Did I miss something here apart from lack of recognition from the club for travelling fans?  I have a 5 months old baby so has been rather disconnected from Leicester City a bit this season.  


I’ll summarise how I understand it, and others can point out where I get it wrong :D


 

Basically to get into Russia you have to get a visa and apply in person at either London or Manchester. I think it takes all day and costs about £200. To get one, you need to have your flights and accommodation booked and paid for through a travel agent recognised by the embassy.


You also have to do all the covid passenger locator forms, lateral flow tests (which you have to pay for) before and after crossing borders, etc.

 

Flights themselves aren’t cheap, and there aren’t as many as you’d think between UK and Moscow (even less with covid affecting travel)

So to get to this one game, you’re looking at at least 4 days booked off work or more. 


To make it worse, there was loads of fannying about with whether we’d even be allowed fans after Spartak DM’d someone on Twitter to say it was probably behind closed doors, and LCFC giving out absolutely nothing until last Wednesday, when they announced that tickets were going on sale on the Thursday, and coming off sale Friday.

 

So to get to the game, you’d have had to take at least a day or two off work and lay out somewhere around the £500 mark, all weeks in advance of knowing whether you’d get a ticket. It’s not a lot to ask of LCFC that someone in the ticket office or whatever get a memo over to the social media team to say “Hey, the fans that went to Moscow really went through the hoops to do it. Can you go stick a thanks or something on the socials tonight that’s a bit more than usual?”

 

 

The Moscow 25 may just have more money than sense for all I know, but huge respect to them for getting to the game lol

What is your role within the club because that is the exact attitude they have.

I'll ignore the question, because it's absurd. Do you not realise how badly young, English stag do lad types tend to travel? It's shocking, and if this is club policy, I can see why.

The problem is that the types listed above are, en masse, a bloody nuisance. Sorry an' all. 

I'd suggest that weatherspoons consider most of their clientele a 'nuisance'. And the Tory Party probably think their voters are. Rupert Murdoch probably isn't that keen on the average Sun reader and sky viewer.

 

The difference is, wetherspoons, the tories and Sky and the Sun don't tell their punters to - in effect - p1ss off.

I'm not getting drawn into this, simply because I don't want another ban just yet.

I think the 25 that went should be eligible for a bravery award. I know I'd been bricking myself having to get out of the stadium at the end of the game, having just beaten them 4 3, I'd probably have taken a 4 4 draw if I was there to feel semi safe to leave 😂 

Honestly would have thought their mob would have had too much respect for our lot even being there to bother.

It’s like the club feel embarrassed that only 25 fans could make it over.

 

Believe me, more people would make it over if they could feasibly do it with time, money or both.

 

Fair f****** play to the fans that made it out over their, especially with how much COVID still effects everything, did the club proud.
