"Ooh, I know a nickname that the team had 61 years ago and you don't! - Plastics!"

I'm not ashamed to admit I had to google it as I'd never heard of that before and I've been a fan for 30+ years.

People keep mentioning the League 1 years, the relegation the year before was probably one of the lowest points (in my life) as a Leicester supporter but the League 1 season itself was brilliant. Proper fans, games, real grounds and we were the best team in the league. Was one of the best seasons in my life as a fan, regardless of it being in the 3rd tier. This season, we've been promoted as Champions and are back in the the PL but there is just little to no connection left with the club at all. I've never been this disconnected like many others have said. I was able to get on and look at tickets for Monday's game and the cheapest seat I could find was £55 - absolutely no chance am I paying that. Looks like Tranmere and any other potential home cup games will be it for me this season, unless they somehow manage to f*** up the pricing for those games as well.

Where's your source for this?

I think you can be pro or anti King Power or even somewhere in the middle but I will never understand actively wanting the club to fail.

All these teams getting 'retro' 3rd/Away kits from Adidas, I hope ours is along the same lines. Would like one with the old running fox logo and the adidas trefoil, would be a sell-out for sure.

And before anyone says 'it's where we are now' or 'thats the financial situation we're in'. We need to ask why? Why are we in this situation and why has seemingly no one at the club taken any kind of rap for it?

Does anyone else remember the 'lotto lout' guy, some average chav in the UK who won the lottery and then like 2 years later was a bin man because he'd blown all of his money and lost everything he'd bought by going bankrupt. In the last 8 years we've won the PL, played in the CL, won the FA cup and also were like the 5th or 6th on the list of highest transfer revenue received from our outgoing transfers. No disrespect to Buonanotte as I actually quite rate him but the fact we're scrambling to loan a player off Brighton after all of that - I can't quite understand how or why we've so badly messed up financially. And also can't quite understand how we (as fans) aren't more up in arms and uproar about the running of the financial side of things, the sales, the Macquarie loans, relegation etc. What the hell has gone on the last few years. Training ground aside, where has all the money gone?

Mods dishing out bans in the news thread...

Do we think they'll do any preseason games at the KP? Was hoping I might get to see them play at least once this season

“The non investment years prior to king power”. You mean our whole existence as a club prior to 2010? Like I said, I get football is a business and I understand PSR means clubs are apparently clawing for money where they can. But I have always felt LCFC were ‘one of the good guys’ and made decisions that represented our standing as a family club and part of the community of Leicester. We can be successful on and off the pitch without having to sell our soul.

I don't get this attitude. Yeah they've offered the most money and as a business the club has snapped their hands off. But, as a fan, don't you want to be proud of your club? Don't you want to feel like your club cares about companies they associate themselves with? A cryptocurrency based gaming/gambling site out of nowhere and the clubs straight on it - just feels a little hollow as a club nowadays.

online cryptocurrency gaming platform - WTF!

Was just about to post the same - my main CB at Villareal currently and he's class. Albeit it's a game but I got really excited when I saw the link today because of FM

That's some good maths right there!

Disgustingly poor statement from the club and the social media team. Happy to put up crap posts every single day about some ex-players birthday or some random game we played in 25 years ago, yet one of our own home-grown players leaves, because the s**show of a club needs the money, and they post a half-a**ed sentence like that, almost as if they're not happy he's leaving. They must think us fans are thick.

It's mad that you have to look at something like this as a positive though. We've had to sell one of our best prospects just to avoid a (potential) 6 point deduction. State of the game.

My best score yet. Got very lucky with a couple of these tbh. #WhenTaken #125 (01.07.2024) I scored 959/1000 🎉 1️⃣ 📍 4 km - 🗓️ 4 yrs - ⚡ 196 / 200 2️⃣ 📍 5 km - 🗓️ 8 yrs - ⚡ 189 / 200 3️⃣ 📍 343 km - 🗓️ 1 yrs - ⚡ 188 / 200 4️⃣ 📍 88 km - 🗓️ 3 yrs - ⚡ 193 / 200 5️⃣ 📍 142 km - 🗓️ 1 yrs - ⚡ 193 / 200 https://whentaken.com
