Maybe I'm old fashioned but I just go for the football. Not interested in all this "smooth match day experience" stuff.

I know what you mean but it would be great if there was a proper fan zone next to the ground, with decent beer and good food stalls,  together with massive screens showing live games. Sadly, that's still on the drawing board as part of the stalled stadium expansion.

As you make your way into the stadium, be sure to collect a special Leicester vs Tottenham Hotspur clapper to cheer on the team

Nah you're alright.

There generally aren’t any problems with the actual system it’s usually the people trying to use it

I mean yes, the weakest link in any computerised system is the end user but you can't really idiot proof the system more than it already is (open ticket on phone, touch phone to reader), so questions should be really asked about whether forcing uptake is sensible

[Sampson]

Still can’t get my head around that Craig Shakespeare has died. Just reading that brought back listening to his pre match interviews on RL in the Pearson era before they fell out with Stringer

[Tommy G]

Some locally brewed beer should tickle a few people’s tastebuds on here. The small positive is there is plenty to do for kids by the sounds of it.

Would someone be so kind as to put a picture up of the referenced ‘Honesty Flags’ to inform the rest of us plastics that don’t attend matches.

[SK3Blue]

‘The Bowl’.  Oh dear.

So glad I didn’t get a ticket.

Don’t get me wrong I hate the fact that it’s being forced and I will hang onto a physical card for as long as I absolutely can, but like you say it is an idiot proof system 👀

Usually a blue or white flag with the slogan FEARLESS FOXES or similar on. 
They are placed sporadicly around the ground, take up on them died down. You get about 4 messages a game asking fans not to take them home.

 

Awful name.

[Fox92]

They continue to use "bowl" 

[fox_favourite]

So from this I have taken the following info. 

 

> I'll be miffed with the traffic and the stupid amount of road closures.

> If I make it to the ground early I will be encouraged to put on weight from the food choices and get miffed with my indigestion pre match 

> Then I'll be miffed by all the numpties that haven't come prepared with their mobile tickets, or have lost the ability to scan their ticket on the machine and cause me to be late in and miss the tribute. 

> Once in, be miffed at the price of the coffees as they have increased

> Then I'll pick up a clapper, and be miffed early in the game when it breaks as I've used it to take my frustration

> Be miffed at the result

> Then be miffed at the amount of traffic due to all the roadworks around the city

 

But a new ticket office....now that is good news

There is a lot there that shows the club are trying. They are addressing a lot of concerns people had around lack of pre-match entertainment, difficulty of picking up tickets, have stopped the clappers being on every seat and have at least acknowledged in a roundabout way people are unhappy with mobile tickets.

 

And yet not one positive comment here.

 

Yes, I hate the way everything has to be phrased to try and put a positive spin which is so badly done and seen through it comes off as treating us like morons, and it doesn't address some of the real issues like availability of tickets and standing areas, but it does feel like they are doing things to improve the fan experience (I puked in my mouth a little using that phrase), so I feel they should get some credit.

 

OK, done. Carry on piling in people! 

[OadbyBlue]

I never eat at the stadium, but those food options sound pretty good tbh. This “bowl” obsession is absolute cringe though.

And without fail see about 4 people trying to take one home after the game

[whoareyaaa]

After leaving the stadium you will be flashed by a bright light and will not be able to remember what you have just watched on the pitch, thanks for coming and we will see you at the next home game. John

I get why they provide it for the kids (although several generations coped without over a hundred years) but grown adults wanting folded card to make noise is bewildering.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Some good developments here - such as locally brewed beer - but not sure if I’m being over critical here, but I would have liked more than 60 seconds of clapping to honour Shakey. For what he did, and the relatively young age he departed, that feels a bit ‘meh’.

definitely does.

I remember when 'pre match entertainment' was getting into pen 3 a bit early and starting a few chants when the players were warming up.

 

You paid on the gate with no worries about tickets and didn't need any flags or clappers to generate an atmosphere.

 

A cup of Bovril and a fag was enough at HT then back to the pub afterwards for a de-brief.

 

It was all about the football on the pitch and the singing in the stands, that's' all that mattered.

 

Now the game itself feels like a side show. Football has lost it's soul.

You missed out the 'Foxy Ladies' doing there thing although they may be a bit over the hill now.
