Leicester (A) 10th Jan

Perhaps Burnley would have accepted returns from the club? I'm only speculating but evidence suggests that the ticket office isn't the clubs best asset. People are still waiting to get their Albion tickets a month after paying for them for example. Fans have had to collect 'missing' tickets from away ticket offices all season with the host clubs knowing nothing about it. This happened at west ham and Liverpool I know as fact.

I may be wrong about Leicester but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not.

Depends if the club have received them. The Palace tickets we late for example as the club didn't get them from Palace until something like 5 days before the game.

"I have received a number of reports of away fans being treated somewhat heavily handed by the local constabulary around the stadium and of some even being 'frog marched' from the railway station to the ground. Although these measures may be deemed necessary, in order to prevent violent disorder, is doesn't do much for the overall away day experience at Leicester. Stuart Bible informs me; 'Just to confirm that the Police presence at Leicester Station is completely over the top. As a visiting QPR fan recently we were 'guided' to the Hind Pub & promptly asked to drink up at 2pm. All 25 of us were then escorted by 38 Police (I counted them) a Dog & 3 Police vans. Of the 25 were 3 children under 10! They should save their heavy handedness for the day that there might be a real threat of trouble".

A friend of mine of dubious football persuasion was sent home from Leicester with around 50 other fans a couple of years ago, the police rounded everyone in the pub up and sent them home on the basis that they'd had intelligence that there may have been known trouble makers in the group. The group consisted almost entirely of your everyday fans.

If anybody isn't going to leicester and is happy for me to use their reference if you could drop me a PM that would really be appreciated.

Leicester in the League Cup 2006 - a police presence at the station reminiscent of the eighties. They rounded a load up and stuck them on a train to a pub a couple of stations away.

I remember being in a police escort back to the train station when we played them in 1987.

You wouldn't think the police would be allowed to do that. That just sounds ridiculous.

Did it a few times "back in the day".
Filbert St was always something of a mission.

My ticket has already arrived for this one. That was quick

[bruisedshins]

Surprisingly it's gone down to 1 away and there are a few tickets available.

[silhillvilla]

Got mine today. Still a few left.

[DBTW]

Now sold out. Another great support

[silhillvilla]

Mine came today .

[PeterWithesShin]

On the slim chance anyone has a spare i've got the begging bowl out.

[Kingthing]

Still sold about but noticed they ended up giving us the full allocation of 3335in the end.
