It's a fair way longer than that. It's all dual carriageway so no matter how fast your car is you ain't doing it in decent time, too many pricks hogging the overtaking lane and lorries taking forever to pass other lorries. You could perhaps do it in half an hour on a bike, if you're a nutjob.
I believe it's £37 to get in at Leicester? And I'm going. My point is that I'm amazed we have people questioning how many fans we have at away games. I've only missed three away games this season and at every ground we have had a decent following when you take into consideration the cost. An away games costs me half of my entire week's take home pay. Of course Stoke will have taken more fans to Leicester and therefore requested more tickets as it's virtually a very local derby. If we were playing Grimsby or Lincoln in the Premier League I would guess we would have requested more then 2,000 tickets, and sold them with no trouble. That is also my point.
I'm pretty sure that neither Leicester, nor Stoke, see their games as local derbies. I doubt doubt Stoke see Man United as local rivals either and they're a fair bit closer.
Anyone know if we did get any more tickets? Thinking about going, purely because I'd bloody love to see all them miserable Leicester fans go home with tears in their eyes as they realise they are going to be relegated after we beat them 3-0, N'Doye grabbing a hat-trick.
Couldn't you as a last resort buy tickets in the home end and sit enjoying (hopefully) the home supporters suffering the humiliation of losing to us at close hand
I would call the ones who are going the real fans. Games like this are the ones where the team need support. The ones going are going to support the team not gawp at the other players and tut and moan if someone stands up because they are getting in the way of photoing the opposition stars.
I blame James Mooney. The man is a first grade twat. Not fit to empty rubbish bins. We can sell more yet the club wont take anymore.
Might be a bit late now but they got them at 1.30 I believe. I got two tickets at 1.30 no idea how many they had or if they have any left....
