Yes I have paid £40 without railcard. 10:35 out arriving 11:45....same train back.

For some reason Trainsplit.com wouldn't give me a reservation on the 10:35 but I didn't realise until I had paid, Interested to know if anyone else has better luck.

When you book the tickets it gives a disclaimer with a yellow exclamation mark saying Engineering works not confirmed yet.

Last year the first away game didn't go on sale until 11 days before the game, per this

Wiki - Ticket Sale Timing Tracker

Have started tracking those all important on sale ticket times for Premier League fixtures. Once more tickets have gone on sale, it might give us a picture of TAPS thresholds for future games and when members might need to be online to ensure being able to get the tickets they want. Hopefully...

griffinpark.org

Hopefully a lot longer than that this time.

Best prices I can see with EMR from Luton seems to be £5 return to Bedford (with network railcard) and £35 return to Leicester via Kettering, splitting ticket at Kettering was £45 and a straight return £48.

Couple of Luton - Leicester trains offered at £17.50 going up but all post game trains at £40+ coming back down. Any chance They may release more advance tickets if there is no engineering works planned?

Strangely i found the opposite from London...Leicester back to London was the cheap bit... £13.50.

Yep,
I booked parking for Leicester through 'Just Park' last year.
Driveway parking about a 20 min walk along the river (very pleasant) from away end entrance, at a cost of £3:69 for 4 hours.
Decent view of the ground across the river too.

Good thinking. Both booked for me too. £4 and £8
Southampton too for £7.

When you book the tickets it gives a disclaimer with a yellow exclamation mark saying Engineering works not confirmed yet.

Does this typically mean engineering works are probable or is it pretty common?

Standard disclaimer

Looks like its the Luton - Kettering bit they want to charge the most for. If i further split the tickets Luton - Bedford, Bedford - Kettering (staying on the train from Luton ) and Kettering - Leicester I can get it down to £36.35 return.

Lot of mucking about but I dont want go give the bastards a penny more than I need to.

 

[Judio1999]

Is this confirmed for the Saturday?

Yes the TV games have all been picked and there are no UEFA matches for Leicester this season

 

[JANORAK]

Thanks Judio.
Can the KO time still change though?

 

[Judio1999]

Thanks Judio.

No unless the local police say there is another function on that day

But the clubs would have asked to be away on that day if this happened

 

[Paul_T]

2 returns for £30 a piece

 

[Paul USA]

………….waiting for the boat details……….

Oy, you are on holiday in Florida - what are you doing reading the GPG at this time !

PS - problem with the boat batteries was that the battery charger was charging them at 15v + and
basicl cooked them both - does that make sense to my auto electrician super king

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

X4 booked on the inter city 125 ….let the train take the strain

Sadly EMR stopped using those last year

 

[middlesexbee]

I've found a return fare on trainline for 20 quid with a railcard, but I'll wait to hear on these engineering works

Don't wait, the prices will up massively

 

[middlesexbee]

Not a clue if I can make it yet. If anyone is interested; it leaves St Pancras at 11ish and the return is the 19:15

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Booked. Must win game. Allocation 3000?

 

[badgerbee]

Looking forward to shoving the "you'll be alright in The Championship" taunts from their 15 year olds next to the away section back up their arses.......

Shoving anything up a 15 year-olds arse will probably get you in a lot of trouble

 

[Simon C]

2 train tickets booked from here, been a few weeks since I've said this

 

[JCMcBee]

....Eight weeks and......see you all in the Counting House

 

[horshambees]

Trains all booked from Three Bridges.
Trainline was all sold out apparently.
Train Split wasn't.
And a fiver cheaper

 

[Lush55]

Kings Lynn to Leicester via Ely return = £23.03
Land at 10:49

It should get you shot.
Or worse

 

[johndub]

St Pancras to Leicester with East Midlands Rail. £29.95 return with Senior Railcard. Booked.

 

[King Bee]

possible fixture move to the Sunday to avoid carnival clash…

Leicester City's opening-day fixture against Brentford set to be moved

City's Premier League fixture schedule has been released, and while it looked to be a Saturday 3pm kick-off to begin the campaign, the club are now preparing for a Sunday fixture

www.leicestermercury.co.uk

 

[Chomp]

Oh for f***s sake!

 

[Banana]

MOVE THE CARNIVAL!

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

I’ve literally just booked trains

 

[SC]

Fingers crossed it won't change as according to their forum, they have had home games before on the day of the carnival

 

[NorthamptonBee]

My daughter is home at the moment, she lives a 10 min walk from Leic’s ground, I asked her about the carnival, she’s lived up there 6 years now and said “What carnival?”
She has no idea of this fantastic event.

 

[Jay Bee]

And surely the whole point of these behind the scenes chats with police is to ensure that clashes like this are dealt with.
Or did the meeting not get as far as (checks notes) day 1 of the whole season??

 

[nocoat]

bloody JUDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can you not have seen THIS coming.

 

[hobbsy]

Yes, no go match days should've been flagged with the PL by the police.

EG Fulham won't be at home when the Boat Race is on

Absolutely.
Couldn't LCFC not have requested an away game for that day.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Or during Bake Off.

Reported up to 80,000 could be in attendance, It will be an all-day event, with a fair in Victoria Park and then a parade through the streets of Leicester from 1pm. Policing concerns and congestion in the city will be factors in why both events cannot take place at the same time, Cancel the Carnival I say!!!
