点评:My husband and I took our son and his best mate for the stadium tour, as an early 10th birthday gift. Today wasn’t a match day so parking was no problem at all. Martin was our tour guide and is just an absolute treasure! He was so warm and welcoming, his terrible jokes were my favourite thing ever, and although the tour is supposed to last for 90 minutes, it did over run by about 15 minutes but Martin didn’t seem to mind - throughout the whole tour, there was so much to see and explore, and he talked us through every inch of the building, what each room is for, the trophy cabinets and the contents, the players past and present, every photo, how the team warm up before games and recover after games, we explored the changing rooms, the press conference room, the media room, the tv studio area, the executive boxes, the pitch, and so much more, and there wasn’t a single thing that Martin didn’t have flawless knowledge of! Whenever anyone had questions for him, he just knew the answers - he said he’s been a lifelong Leicester fan, and it really does show. His passion for the team and his job shine through and he was just such a genuine pleasure to meet!
When he found out that it’s almost my son’s birthday, he gifted him a LCFC backpack AND encouraged everyone to sing happy birthday to him in the home team changing rooms, which was the cherry on the cake! (Actually, there were so many cherries on the cake that my son and his friend repeatedly announced that this is “the best day ever!)
And I completely agree - it was.
The other staff we met along the way, including those working in the fan store, were just so lovely and kind.
Thank you so much for making the experience so wonderful, Martin, you truly are magic!!
翻译:我和丈夫带着我们的儿子和他最好的朋友参观了体育场,作为提前送给他的 10 岁生日礼物。今天不是比赛日,所以停车完全不是问题。马丁是我们的导游,他简直就是个宝贝!他非常热情好客,他讲的那些糟糕的笑话是我最喜欢的,虽然参观应该持续 90 分钟,但确实超出了大约 15 分钟,但马丁似乎并不介意 - 在整个参观过程中,有很多东西可以看和探索,他向我们讲解了建筑的每一寸,每个房间的用途,奖杯陈列柜和里面的东西,过去和现在的球员,每一张照片,球队在比赛前如何热身,在比赛后如何恢复,我们参观了更衣室、新闻发布室、媒体室、电视演播室、行政包厢、球场等等,马丁对每一件事都了如指掌!每当有人问他问题时,他总是能给出答案——他说他一生都是莱斯特城的球迷,这一点确实很明显。他对球队和工作的热情闪耀着光芒,认识他真的是一件非常高兴的事!
当他得知我儿子的生日快到了时,他送给我儿子一个莱斯特城足球俱乐部的背包,并鼓励所有人在主队更衣室里为他唱生日快乐歌,这真是锦上添花!(实际上,锦上添花的太多了,我儿子和他的朋友反复宣布这是“有史以来最好的一天!”)
我完全同意——确实如此。
我们在途中遇到的其他工作人员,包括在球迷商店工作的员工,都非常可爱和善良。
非常感谢你让我们的体验如此美妙,马丁,你真是太神奇了!!
