Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Leicester diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

As a club with recent Premier League and European history, ticket demand and pricing for away fans can be higher than typical League One fixtures.

Ground note

Filbert Way gets very congested in the hour before kick-off; allow plenty of time.
