Lester playing at the Ricoh (1 Viewer)

I know they need to get something hapening but this is really hitting us below the belt. I can't believe ACL and CCC would allow this after all our fans have been through/

Egg chasing or football?

U21s footie against Shrewsbury. A strange game to be hosting?

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 28, 2014

Is it a cup fixture or a designated home fixture?

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 28, 2014

Leicester City ‏@OfficialFOXES 50m Tomorrow's #lcfc U21s fixture (KO 12pm) against @shrewsweb will now be played at the Ricoh Arena.

hill83 · Jan 28, 2014

Trying to work out if I'm annoyed or not.

CovFan · Jan 28, 2014

Considering the weather we've been having the Ricoh is probably the only available pitch nearby that isn't waterlogged. I think Leicester's usual U21 matches are played at Hinckley.

gouldberg · Jan 28, 2014

No doubt they'll be paying a small fee to use the facility and is probably a forced move due to all the bad weather. I'm not sure where their U21 team play but I doubt it has the facilities and drainage the Ricoh can offer. Probably just a 1 time thing so they can guarantee the game isn't postponed. Nothing to see here in my opinion.

Hobo · Jan 28, 2014

The new groundsman obviously said their pitch is shit but I know where there is a brilliant one.

ccfclinney · Jan 28, 2014

No they usually play at Holmes park in Leicester, but pitch is waterlogged so playing at the Ricoh

fernandopartridge · Jan 28, 2014

I feel sorry for the poor Leicester fans who can't watch their boys cos their owners have inexplicably moved them 26 miles away.

I also think that ACL are now just as bad as Cardoza.

gouldberg · Jan 28, 2014

Just following on from the weather comments, it will be really interesting to see what happens later in the week should this weather continue. With Sixfields unplayable today, and with a 'Home' fixture on Saturday, would Sisu swallow pride and use the Ricoh for one game if the Sixfields pitch is still waterlogged?

It would be terrible to see a Coventry home game postponed due to a waterlogged pitch if the big empty arena in Coventry is playable.

runner · Jan 28, 2014

Makes sense to me ... for the Ricoh that is ... a bit of income from just a one off game.

Are you a new poster or an old one who has been rebranded with a new banner?

Come on the Shrews.

Agree with the last comments. They won't make anything out of this money wise and in the media we will be a joke. I am seething especially with all the effort KCIC did for us fans at Arsenal. We were singing about we want to go home to the Ricoh but to allow our local rivals to play an U21 game on OUR home ground is unbelieveable.

Nice try as a wind up ;-)

Beat me to it, the legend of John Ledwidge.

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 28, 2014

What's wrong with the King Power Stadium? I could understand it (sort of) if it was a cup fixture and needed to be played at a neutral venue, but I don't know what to make of this, lets just open the Ricoh up to all of local rivals.

Get a grip it's U21's for Christ sake.... Leicester City aren't moving in. Do you remember our reserves playing in Nuneaton?

It's not our home ground anymore.

Sixfields is.

We aren't moving into Sixfields either, we are only Groundsharing temporarily..

Mr T - Sukka! · Jan 28, 2014

There is no issue with anyone using the ricoh. U21s, womens, internationals, legends.

I would only have an issue with if a first team wanted to play there instead of CCFC proper.

It hasn't become a clubs home ground like Sixfields has for us. Stop trying to use a one off game for political spin.

Only apologists like you would tie yourself up in knots by now trying to justify ACL's actions by making the ridiculous assertion that Sixfields is our 'home ground'.

There is a big difference between a one off re arranged fixture and moving a club. When Leicester start playing all their home fixtures at the Ricoh I agree that would be wrong.

shmmeee · Jan 28, 2014

Nonsense! No team with support below 20k can ever play a game there thanks to the money grubbing council!

Why do ACL need to justify their actions?

It's not our home. We've moved on. ACL are a distressed business in need of cash.

A home would mean its permnament must have missed that news flash.

Yo, SISU!!!

Look what we can do!

Its a start.

I have obviously missed the one when they have given a date to come back or where the land is for the stadium. Until either of those are announced it sounds permanent to me!

Well those things take time hence why they were given five years..

So it's permanent for the foreseeable future, the next five years.

Leicester U21's are playing one game? Hardly a comparison is it?

If you and Fernando can't differentiate between the two then my flabber is gasted!
