Leicester City fans denied chance to watch remaining away games on big screens at King Power Stadium


Leicester City 4-0 Swansea City - Riyad Mahrez & Leonardo Ulloa Post-Match Interview 24.04.2016

The club are allowed to screen both matches within the hospitality areas of the King Power Stadium and announced they would do so on Saturday. But the Keith Weller Lounge, Walkers Hall and 1884 Sports Bar are only able to accommodate 1,600 fans per game.

Tickets for the screenings cost 5 for adults and 3 for under-18s and include a free bottle of beer or a bottle of water, with all profits donated to the LCFC Foxes Foundation.

Saturdays announcement followed a petition set up by two supporters, Kris and Donna Robinson, for the club and Leicester City Council to erect screens outside the King Power Stadium or elsewhere in the city to show the teams matches for the rest of the season.

A spokesman for the council said: LCFC has decided to show the two away fixtures on screens at the King Power stadium. Also, many pubs both in the city centre and other, neighbourhood family pubs, have paid very high commercial rates to screen the matches.
