Pre Match Leicester v Manchester United

[Ike O'Noclassed]

I like the last comment on there.
"It's Leicester.

3-0 United"


You keep thinking like that fella. And while you're focused on how many points you're above Chelsea by, we'll nick in and borrow the prem trophy for a year.

A previous comments - "Their team are more Utd like than we are," - goes well with that.

The office Utd fan has grown less and less cocky by the day this week.

Even admitted he's nervous this morning, I suggest we give these gutless pretenders a bloody good hiding.

Not getting carried away but I ****ing love this.

Some of them do seem worried though.
I like how some compare Rooney and Vardy and admit Wayne is the worst striker against the best.
They still remember last season though with a number of mentions about Vardy throwing himself in the penalty area for him then to score to break the record.

SECURITY PROVISION STRENGTHENED FROM MANCHESTER UNITED VISIT

​

Leicester City Football Club will seek cooperation from those attending Saturday’s fixture against Manchester United, as we continue to make the safety of supporters at King Power Stadium our greatest priority.
Supporters are advised to arrive early (turnstiles open at 4pm), well in advance of kick-off at 5.30pm, to allow time for additional security measures that will be in place inside and around King Power Stadium. It is recommended that supporters avoid bringing bags wherever possible, as enhanced searches will be taking place at all entrances to the stadium.
Furthermore, to ensure stadium security is not compromised during the match and future fixtures, the Club asks for supporters’ cooperation with a strict NO READMISSION policy, meaning exits will not be opened to access smoking areas at any time. Supporters are reminded that King Power Stadium is a no smoking venue, including e-cigarettes.
Partial road closures and diversions will be in place via Filbert Street, Burnmoor Street and Brazil Street for through traffic in the stadium’s immediate vicinity from one hour before and up to kick-off. Normal post-match arrangements regarding road closures will apply.
Please note:
- There will be no storage available within the stadium for additional baggage
- Photo identification will be required for supporters collecting tickets
- No cans or bottles will be admitted into the stadium as per ground regulations
The Club trusts supporters will understand the necessity for enhanced safety and security measures at forthcoming matches and appreciates your patience in this matter.

Thanks for the heads up on that one! I'm a member and have bought a ticket for a fellow Norwegian fox. I called the ticket office, and it turns out that he won't be able to pick up the ticket unless he brings an email from me stating that I allow him to pick up my ticket.

Now I just need to get hold of him....... He might be on his way over already.

I am really pleased with the club for implementing these measures. Is this a directive from the Premier League or the government or has the club acted on its own initiative?

 

[M17TT C]

No smoking!?!

Anyone want a ticket in that case?

 

[Blaarev]

why would you want to wear a smoking for a football match?

I couldn't disagree more. Stupidity personified to make everyone's life more inconvenient because of some ****s in Paris.

If we change because of them, it's their victory. Especially in an environment like a football match. If someone really wants to blow people up at the King Power, they'll do it irrespective of going through bags full of sandwiches and flasks.

Until some **** as you put it, blows your arse off, in the belief they are fighting for their warped interpretation Islam.

Mark Lawrenson has us down to lose 1-0 again, so that's good.

Wow! I am absolutely staggered and completely stunned.

Let's also stop searching people at airports.

It's a totally unnecessary waste of time and resources.

How would he be doing in our prediction league?

"Smoking, Please"

It's a tired old argument but you're about twenty times more likely to die in the bath than you are to get killed by terrorists, etc, etc.

My point is that we all take risks constantly. Getting into a car today will probably be the biggest risk you take. It is a far bigger risk to cross the road to the game than be in the stadium tomorrow. Yet we are comfortable with the risks we see daily and uncomfortable with those that we're don't.

There is nothing wrong with proportionate security in places like airports. However, when the Madrid train bombing happened we didn't all suddenly go through x-ray machines at train stations. We make up ways to feel safe, irrespective of whether they make the slightest difference to our actual security. I lock my front door, but if someone really wants to get into my house, then they will do.

I would argue that searching everyone at the game tomorrow will make absolutely no difference at all to our security but it will be an inconvenience. Therefore, it's a total waste of everybody's time. It's a knee-jerk reaction.

In the 80s and 90s, every time we went to a match there were lists of absurd items that were prohibited from being brought into games because of a small minority of idiots. Over time, that policy proved to be daft and eventually people saw sense. Now we're going to head back in the same direction and it's wrong to do.
