I do wonder if in the early 1930s, after a hugely successful, well performing era of Chandler, when we came 3rd and 2nd in the Old First Division and then the crowds went down approx 8k as we battled relegation for three seasons before finally going down There was some bloke at Filbo saying ‘we used to be in the Midland League you know’

I’ve explained it. General pattern of split between the older generation defensive of the club and younger generation wanting to hold the club to account. Of course there are exceptions. There’s a notorious poster on here and Twitter commonly referring to ungrateful kids and it was a common criticism of the Project Reset, ‘just kids’. Saw with my own eyes 50 year olds verbally abusing 18/19 year olds on Friday night. But the main point is that if you are a young adult (and/or a young parent) now you probably didn’t experience the title win in the manner, everyone else did and you have no recollection of Leicester being a yo-yo club. It’s not entitled to think the club can be pushing on to its realistic possibilities. They can’t be ungrateful for something they never ‘received’. That’s before the whole counter productivity that for the club to succeed it needs to be at its highest playing level to attract more fans, taking away obstacles from the younger generation, building a new stand, continuing the playground being full of Leicester shirts. Ticketing has been a closed shop for a generation of Leicester’s population

Not a surprise to see that VAR and offside can’t work at Selhurst Park. The technology isn’t good enough at that ground

Been thinking a lot about the whole division in the fanbase and how predominantly it’s split by age. The same could be said for the ‘entitled’ line used by much of the media and non City supporters. I think stems in the general distrust the British public have of ambition and wanting to succeed. There’s a safeguarding to the previous success as though younger supporters have to suffer us being utter crap before any success can happen. As though Leicester city must play to their yo yo existence. A weird better fan type mentality. Next season, ten years on, the 15/16 title will be like a haunting ghost. Rather than celebrated, it will become a look at what we were. If you were 7 or 8 at the time, you are now 17/18 and so forth. If you are mid 20s, youve probably got kids. In that period, we’ve been top flight bar one season. So it’s hardly entitled if you think we should the that regular fixture of the top flight. These kids don’t know the season of League 1 or administration but that doesn’t mean that they should just accept us going back to the second tier. This club should have been top ten with a 40k stadium by now. The latter pushing the clubs revenues on. The detractors are cutting their nose off to spite their face. They completed football and no one else should enjoy LCFC from since

West Ham United away, AKA eat, sleep, Decordova-Reid repeat.

We are down tonight. Wolves go eight clear -
The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
CosbehFox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
Yeah intervals are invaluable to get your heart working at higher rate over time. While long, slow runs are supposed to build that base. Yeah the heat does get much. I peak on 5k times around May and then September -
The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
CosbehFox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
Sorry if saying stuff you’ve already done. Do you train intervals ? Do you do slow long runs? Strength training handy too. Also I’d say you’ll get a better 5k because of the weather in the summer too. Less wind, body gets warm quicker -
So fixing the foundations isn’t a term Starmer used as part of his summer statement ? https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/keir-starmers-speech-on-fixing-the-foundations-of-our-country-27-august-2024

Come off it. Yourself and Otis started the political points scoring first. The pledge is here - https://labour.org.uk/change/make-britain-a-clean-energy-superpower/ I have picked out the points from which I have written the previous few posts We will end the chaotic Conservative chopping and changing on policy, harness clean power to boost our energy security, and invest in home insulation upgrades. We will save families hundreds of pounds on their bills, not just in the short term, but for good. The Warm Homes Plan will offer grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation and other improvements such as solar panels, batteries and low carbon heating to cut bills. We will partner with combined authorities, local and devolved governments, to roll out this plan. Labour will also work with the private sector, including banks and building societies, to provide further private finance to accelerate home upgrades and low carbon heating. We will ensure homes in the private rented sector meet minimum energy efficiency standards by 2030, saving renters hundreds of pounds per year. Nobody will be forced to rip out their boiler as a result of our plans. The commitment is to a reform of the British energy system and that takes time. That in Labour's opinion is the key to lowering energy bills. You can criticism them for the wording of 'not just in the short term' - although you could argue that well they have compared to the last government. The Winter Fuel payments is a legitimate criticism.

The worldwide event which has continued to play out? You do realise in particular weeks become more hostile therefore have a knock-on? (Hence an all party supported announcement today by the UK government) If you acknowledge that, then you acknowledge that it's a factor for the price cap increase now
-
No more made up than you making a statement like 'Three times energy has risen under Labour'. There's no background - it's like saying Leicester City won more games last season but zero context of the division they were playing in. The video loses all context and nuance because it's heavily edited. He never mentions existing homes in the clip.
-
Nuance A pre qualification of huge investment into renewable energy. The term 'warmer homes, lower bills' directly talks to making the building regulations stronger. Alas today I have just had to my first re-roof require 200mm worth of insulation as opposed to 100mm. Tories by comparison increased the energy cap by 80% in 2022

About the same. The maximum charge for common assault is 26 weeks. Given the man was being abused and had ready to believe he would be attacked that plays into. https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/disappointing-ps300-fine-for-northamptonshire-hunt-supporter-found-guilty-of-common-assault-4809163 This story here - was just a fine for example. Just read of someone with 6 counts of common assault + theft get 17 weeks for example.
-
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58090533 The cap is rising again but the graph within the article makes interesting reading. Particularly October 2022 to July 2023. Bills were at their lowest since then in May 2024.

Difference between Enzo/Cooper recruitment was that Enzo would have knew what we needed rather than Cooper needlessly spending on our biggest sum of money on a CM

Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock - Left the club

Could be but I’m fairly certain Dawson wasn’t a Cooper choice. -
Wasn't the question tbf
