my understanding (from the ticket office at leicester) was that it is UEFA mandated, that the arrangement is in place for all visiting supporters. you pick up your match ticket in the host city at a pre-agreed landmark type location on arrival, with a 5pm deadline to do so.
have to make special arrangements to pick them up at the ground if you can't make it for 5pm
I don't think that's the case, I'm sure visiting fans at City don't have to have to collect tickets from a hotel or anything like that. I think it's mostly something that English clubs have adopted, for whatever reason.
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong! Perhaps UEFA in the process of rolling it out across the continent and we are the guinea pigs?

That was a good week. We dispatched Burnley in the style of a good side and now our home record in the league since our run the year before last is
W17 D7 L1 Goals for 50 Goals against 20
Slimani looks a really good player. Obviously a strong target man but his link up play and deft touches were something you don't get from target men i've seen.
Scored two goals, and most important of all allows us to play a different way where this season teams are defending deeper and the counter-attacking style is more difficult to play
Tougher tests ahead. we'll play the squad in the league cup against chelsea on tuesday, and would expect to go out. Old Trafford next week and Porto at home the midweek after.
As for Burnley, a bit more ambition please. Dropped a striker, played 5 across the middle and really had nowhere to go once they went behind. That's now 4 shots on target in three games. I think there are bad teams in this division, don't really see the point of trying to defend 90 minutes when you are going to need to win some games to be clear of the relegation zone

Thought Slimani (sp?) looked very sharp, a real natural poacher. Mahrez was in fine form, too, what a handful he is. The link up play between the two was excellent, from what I saw.
Your back-up keeper looked handy, too.

Must be a massive boost to a new signing to have a fellow countryman in the team.Pretty shrewd purchase in my opinion,looked pretty good.

Slimani did look good, but so did Musa in his first game.
What's happened to Musa?

On the bench, looked good in his substitute appearances.
Last season i would have loved Musa next to Vardy with all the space we were given to play in on the counter
this season, with teams 15 yards deeper, not as effective (on a small sample of game time) a partnership as you might have thought
which is why i think slimani is an expensive but sensible purchase and why Musa looks like Vardy's back up/impact sub at this stage, but its a long season and we have a lot more games to play compatred to last year (hopefully)

We are at Burnley in the live game a week Monday. Will be interesting to see how they approach it. I assume they will go for it but it might be dangerous now we are in a bit of mild form and new players are bedding in well. Haven't seen the odds yet but we should be favourites in my book.

Last night was a good night. A real goosebumps moment as they played the Champions League music before the start and the atmosphere crackled
Click to see full-size image.
We've been inconsistent this season, really struggling away at the bigger teams in particular (in my opinion playing too open and having no plan B when our counter-attacking threat is removed) but last night was a bit more like it in terms of defensive solidity and one piece of Mahrez magic created a chance for Slimani who buried another header

It was my first sighting live of the infamous ref Cuneyt Cakir too who brandished yellow cards like confetti and generally reffed like Windsor Davies in It ain't half hot mum.
What I hadn't realised until being involved as a fan in the champions league is how controlling the whole organisation is. Clubs aren't allowed to wear club sponsor branding on training kit. All sponsors references have to be removed at the ground.
eg on the image below the club had to replace all the king power stadium stuff with leicester city stadium and for what end?
Click to see full-size image.
No fan displays before kick off. Notice in the programme not to boo the champions league anthem. Strangest of all possibly, clubs cannot display the minutes gone in the match on the plasma screens. Most odd
Anyway 2 wins out of 2 in the competition. Copenhagen at home next and Southampton at home on Sunday
Southampton have to go to Israel for thursday, and our home form is very good so all being well back on track in the league at the weekend

it was a good atmosphere, and it is for every game
Much derided at the time and clearly a bit artificial for some, they hand out clappers for every seat and these both create a din and double up to be held aloft for displays before the game, which look good
of course its not like the old days which is both good and bad but i do enjoy it when we score and the whole stadium shakes. sitting in the back rows you actually feel the stand flex slightly

UEFA "demands".
Did you see the piece in The Times yesterday? Utterly fascinating.
I can't C & P it as it's behind a paywall, but it was an amazing piece.
Even the way the grass is cut, the width & length of the grass "cuts" & so on. Must be cut in straight lines, perpendicular to the touchline etc. 9 bands of grass in each half, 4 of which are at least 5.5 metres.
One toilet (with seat) for the Referee.
180 "Premium" car park spaces foe EUFA dignitaries & VIP's.
50 "comped" VIP seats & 330 "Best seats" for UEFA Partners & Guests.
What the Fox mascot can & cant wear. He may only be "slightly larger than a normal person". He must wear the Club's Champion's League kit including a "tail hole". (I kid you not).
Even the little boys & girls who come out on the pitch with the players. They must come out at 19.42 & 40 seconds, there must be 22 of them, between 7 & 9 years old, & between 1.05 & 1.35 metres tall.
The Home Club must give EUFA a match ball signed by the entire squad & coach, & one key players official home shirt.
And so on, 155 pages of that.

i forgot the mascot one
our mascot is filbert the fox. in various guises has been around since the 80s
all bollocks obviously, but a popular figure
not allowed to be at the ground yesterday (first time i think in 35 years) as "too large"
of no importance at all but why the need for a rule like this?

Wes Morgan looks so so poor this year.
Poor Kasper getting a lot of practice.

Why did LFC fans boo Kante? Seems harsh considering what he did for them last year. Who can blame him for moving to a bigger club at his age?
