Pre Match Leicester v Derby

After watching that video I found the one below, ignore the obvious cheese at the end and it's a cracking video for anyone of my age or above and a glimpse into why those years were so special.

What a team

Nice one Lako, some good memories there.

 

[Polar Bear]

Great stuff Lako, that's really put a smile on my face.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Wow. I've not seen that clip before. It was quite emotional watching that.

 

[Lako42]

No problem

it was an emotional watch, great spirit back then.

Is the Edworthy who fouled Izzet the same one who played for us a few seasons back?

 

[Miles Away]

Yes.

 

[TommyK]

Those were the days that I really loved my football

Although saying that, I think the buzz is coming back - talk of a season ticket for next season :icon_razz

 

[martin peters]

Well that brought back some memories, prefer the direct route this time, but if we have to a day out with a win would be nice.

Reminds me of one of my favourite players at that time, Steve Guppy. Worked his socks off and by God he could put in a lovely cross. He never had to go past the full back, he curled the ball around them. Happy days.

It was also a somewhat unknown fact that he put in more crosses and assists in the same season that Beckham was receiving plaudits.

That was pretty well known. It was the reason he was called up by England that year. He was second behind Beckham that season on crosses I believe.

Hopefully not being a thicky here but can anyone explain why the club has hiked this fixture to a platinum one? It's on Sky so surely knocking out standard tickets at 15 quid each, together with pie, beer, program and store sales would generate more revenue for seats that would otherwise be empty. This would also fill the ground that has to be policed/stewarded anyway. Can anyone enlighten me?

People will go to a derby match whether it's on Sky or not. Particularly a top of the table match. So the club will earn a lot more by charging platinum prices than they would by reducing prices.

It must be very rare for a price reduction to actually increase revenue. I think it's more likely they do that to encourage occasional or new fans to go, who might then become regulars. They're not going to do that for a game that is likely to have a high attendance at normal or increased prices.

I thought they had increased the just the ticket allocation for the match to get a few more bums on seats?

Have any games been less than gold this season?

Forest game was crap.

 

[Real Sharapova]

Forest game was crap.

Yes, that game should have been classified as " sludgy brown ".
