Leicester City: Special ticket offer for clashes with Lions and Blues
Leicester City are offering supporters a special ticket deal for the Friday night visits of Millwall and Birmingham City to the King Power Stadium.
Seven of City's home games, which were originally scheduled to kick off at 3pm on a Saturday, have been re- arranged because of television coverage, including the visits of the Lions and the Blues.

Chief executive Susan Whelan said the club had been powerless to block the rescheduling of games.
"It is testament to the success we have enjoyed on the pitch this season that so many of our games have proved attractive to an international television audience," she said.

"But we appreciate that these fixtures being moved will have caused disruption for a number of our supporters, particularly our loyal season- ticket holders.
"Due to the Football League's central television contract, the club is powerless to prevent these fixture changes.
"But we felt a gesture such as this was appropriate as a 'thank you' to the supporters, and in recognition of the disruptions it has caused our fans."
City are offering a special ticket for both games, which is priced from £30 for adults, £20 for under-18s, £5 for under-12s and free for under-eights.
Season Ticket holders can take one family member or friend to either the Millwall or Birmingham City game for free. Tickets must be booked 72 hours in advance.
City take on Millwall on March 29, before hosting Birmingham on April 12.

“have to pull you up on that one chappie you can always go out for a few after the games. a few barrels would be needed after the shambles they have been producing under one trip pony pearson. you never know it could be celebrations if they got rid of him.”

“It's a rubbish gesture Yorkie..
Friday night matches..
You work hard all week, and you could go out and have a few Jars with your mates,
or come and watch the foxes lose 1 nil - and play like they've already been out drinking.
Sorry mate - but after today - given the choice - I'd say mates (wife) are more important to me than a certain man in charge - who likes to insult fans..
"If you don't like what is happening on the pitch - don't come!",
right you are then Mr Pearson - I won't - and it's a shame because the players could do with the crowd behind them - but instead of cheering on a team - all the focus is on one man, who instead of being humble - treats us like we've never seen a game before.
The empty seats are mainly due to the recession and prices this season, but at some point it will be down to the manager, and the Thai's must know it can't be good for business.”

“A nice gesture from the club that they are not obliged to do.
I'm sure the moaners will still find reason to complain!
The discount isn't big enough,
What if I don't have any friends?(likely)
Why can't you change the space time continuum to make Friday night Saturday afternoon?
I await he moans, but personally appreciate th gesture from the club.”
