Leicester admit regret after sparking furious reaction with FA Cup final ticketing blunder having imposed mandatory £45 coach service to fans travelling to Wembley from Leicestershire

Leicester City have said they regret angering supporters over the sale of tickets for the club’s first FA Cup final in more than 50 years.

The Foxes initially frustrated fans by announcing that anyone with a Leicestershire postcode who had a ticket would be forced to travel via an official club coach at a cost of £45 otherwise they risked being barred from Wembley.

However, the club announced on Saturday that they had underestimated the number of fans travelling from the county and the remaining 233 fans with tickets from an LE postcode were free to get to the game however they wished.
