You have inadvertently nailed it there.

It is indeed a Roman construction term detailing amphitheatre layouts.
They are the exits and entrances ( staircases) to the terracing aptly named as the Romans would indeed be sick in them as they were the nearest point away from the seating areas , where they would sit, getting pissed , watching people getting thrown the to the lions.

6 of us going, staying in Leicester on the piss.
If anyone can recommend a place to meet up with fellow blues before the game

There's a pub near the City centre we went in for last seasons Leicester game where the landlord is a Blue. Can't remember the name of it but he was on here inviting us. Maybe he will again it was a good laugh pre match

Can't remember the name myself but when you get there tell him he needs to open up a little earlier in future.

Sounds like he’s not running it anymore.

Can't remember the Salmon but looks decent for real ale - Black Country Ales now, something of an acquired taste, but with several guest beers too. Globe is a solid pick in the centre, an Everards mainstay.

The Rutland and Derby.
Good choice of Ales, great food and too posh for Scousers.
On route from centre to Stadium.

What's the next possible window (and when)? They won't put them on General Sale (as Liverpool lot could buy them) so an additional ticket for Seasoncard holders maybe?

Still more than a 1000 showing, and ALL blocks are back open ... are people returning, or City releasing new seats all the time? Any chance seasoncard holders can get a second??

They have put the restricted views on sale, and they are the maroon coloured ones

 

[M18CTID]

820 left now so they're still shifting at a fair rate. Will all be gone by the end of the weekend I reckon

Colourful answer, but not quite true. The Latin verb vomo/vomere just means 'to spew forth' from which vomitorium was derived to describe the exit points from their stadiums. We have adapted this to vomitory. It's got nothing to do with throwing up, just the act of large crowds exiting a stadium at the same time.

You can't beat a good bit of projectile vomiting after a night on the beer.
Just like Linda Blair in The Exorcist !!!

 

[Manchester33]

Given the rail strikes, I'm going to drive down. I have two spare seats in my car from Trafford if anyone is keen. £20 there are back.

PM me.

Popular urban myth in construction then.

Full marks fella.

correct . Also a term in use in theatres and swimming pools for large open egress points. The 'Vom'.

 

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

Sorry if this has been asked already but why are their restricted seats. I've been to Leicester and its a modern stadium? i got cheaper tickets in the South Stand. is this part of the stadium restricted. seems a bit bizarre
