A 19:45 start in Leicester means the last realistic train back leaves around 22:15. Check the connection before you buy a ticket.

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.
