[Albion] Leicester City (A) - Sun 8th Dec 14:00

[Giraffe]

Is anyone actually showing up in Leicester early enough to attend this pre match meetup with Bloom and Barber?

I’ve just bought tickets but will depend on traffic whether we make it or not.

Nice bonus for this fan attending his first Albion away match. Got my free 'ticket' a couple of hours ago... There were just under 175 left.

Enjoy! My train arrives in town at 1 pm so I’ll miss the meetup but I was at the one in Newcastle in May.

For those who have been to a pre match event before, do you actually get a chance to chat with TB?

My 8 year old has a few things to ask him/say, including never to sell Mitoma

That was the case in May, he and Barber stuck around for a while.

Got a couple of tickets. Will depend on traffic and finding alternative parking as to if we make it or not

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

20 or so tickets on there at present

You just need to be careful with using yourparkingspace for a hotel car park as it doesn’t guarantee you a space. We did it recently and the (small) hotel car park was full when we arrived and no one looked like leaving so had to park elsewhere. The hotel said nothing they could do.

I mean there’s nothing stopping them staying on top of their bookings and putting cones down to reserve spaces that have been paid for in advance Shirley?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Went as a myalbion+ the last two times we've played there

I like to think of myself as a AlbionMyAlbion+. Would that get me a chance at a Leicester (A) ticket. I have a Google Wallet. Unfortunately I keep miss placing it.

Last time we did Leicester we stayed the night before at the one next door, so had already nabbed a space. It was CARNAGE on match day.

I've booked a space somewhere else for next Sunday!

Saffron Lane Athletics club is where I normally park.

Was a fiver cash albeit inflation may have taken over.

Is that bookable or do you just turn up? JustPark is looking a bit busy on Sunday, perhaps unsurprisingly.

There a a few turn up and pay sites. Morriston, the odeon and this one. I've booked the hotel car park expecting to have to go elsewhere if I'm late or a problem

Just turn up. Fiver cash on gate (or at least it was 2 seasons ago). I wouldn't leave it too late though as I think it gets full.

Re Holiday Inn parking right next to the ground. Yourparkingspace, which I've booked, guarantees the booking. But nervously I've checked the small print and it states-

What is the Booking Guarantee?​

Our Booking Guarantee is there to protect you, the driver, in the event you are unable to access the parking space as booked. To make sure that you're not left in the lurch without a parking space on the day and at the time you were expecting to park, contact us here so that we can jump on the case and find you a solution.
If you arrive at a booked location and find that you can't access the parking space, YourParkingSpace will

1. Relocate you to a nearby space on our platform at no additional charge, or NOTE I see a nearby spot at £25.
2. Provide you with a full refund.

In order to take advantage of the above, please make sure to get in touch with us herein a timely manner so we can source you a new place to park from our inventory, or provide you with a refund so you can source your own alternative.
The refund policy applies, so if you have an issue and need a refund you'll need to get in touch with us within 48 hours.

I also contacted the hotel direct and their reply was-

Yes that's fine, thank you for contacting us.
When you park at our car park, just register Your registration at our reception as soon as you come in.
Kind Regards
Holiday Inn Express Team

So basically the booking is guaranteed, but if there are no spaces, well they give you your money back. I've a passenger who struggles to walk more than a few hundred yards so this looked ideal. Leaving at 8 to make sure we are there nice and early now. If I see a BHA reg I might have to double park!!!

Great, thanks. Will try that and use the considerably more expensive NCP in town if I’m too late.
