How The Fans Followed City's Filbert Way Return
In King Power Stadium's first behind-closed-doors fixture since the Premier League's restart, Leicester City were held to a 0-0 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion, with Kasper Schmeichel denying Seagulls forward Neal Maupay from the penalty spot in the early exchanges.
Earlier in the day, Season Ticket Holders and Fox Members received special 'supporter packs' in the post, including flags, clap banners and free access to the digital CITY Matchday Magazine.

Special experiences
Meanwhile, some lucky young Foxes fans, who were set to be mascots at the game, still got personalised messages from their heroes...
My daughter, Madison, would have been a mascot at today’s game and is gutted she can’t be...but she was so happy to receive a personal video message from James Madison. Thank you @Madders10 and @LCFC. She’ll be cheering you on from home tonight. Love this club. #lcfc #bluearmy 🦊 pic.twitter.com/9YE27YRECP

It might not have been exactly the result Leicester desired, but the guests on LCFC TV's City On The Sofa remain upbeat about the Foxes' chances...
