Loved watching Wright, but him smacking Bashir around isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of England's selection policy.

Zain-ul-Hassan he first man in the country out on two consecutive Championship opening days now. Ouch.

They're on for that so far...

What's everyone's Championship predictions then? Hard to see past Surrey getting four in a row right now. Would like Somersrt to do it in their 150th anniversary year.

Get yourself down to Grace Road this summer. A club glad of the support and a team of players who care. Oh, and pints on a sunny day. It's fun even if you've no interest in cricket.

Buzzing for the season starting. Nice to feel excited about a team I support.

I find it such a bad taste gesture anyway, particularly for people who died young. It feels almost sarcastic. I've never joined in with one.

With a really heavy heart, I'm out. Struggle to attend many these days and can't justify the spend. The club's treatment of all of us in recent times tipped me over the edge. Emailed to ask to cancel, outlining my concerns, and they weren't even acknowledged in the reply. I'd be sacked on the spot for failing to do that in my job. Just confirms they don't give a solitary shit about us, but makes me feel I've made the right decision on balance.

Can't even be arsed to make it relevant to Leicester. How hard is it to post a pic of Zagorakis and have a bit if fun with something like that? It's like we'te using "Generic FC" from David Squires' cartoons to inform our marketing strategy.

It's back to being free. One-Day Cup may be on mute though with the Beeb cutting coverage.

Penny for the members' thoughts on this idea... https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/county-cricket-premium/taking_county_championship_overseas_floated_club_ceo.html?t=638781449409932949

Bar the injury, he was really beginning to find his stride in Wright's absence.

Yes, I just opted for a Tennant's when I went in there.

Porto was ridiculous. Some five-star hotel out in the sticks. Mind you, the local cafes must have made an unexpected profit that day flogging hundreds of bottles of Super Bock.

I'll also vouch for The State bar. My post was still accurate as of six months later. Wish I could say I've managed to go since!

Claimed it was UEFA protocol (it isn't) and a Government stipulation (it wasn't). KP themselves clearly knew nothing about either but it typifies the culture at LCFC under them. Zero respect for fans or the truth.

Is there anything stopping other fans from stepping up and leading a boycott themselves? If the people on this thread asking if anyone else is leading action grouped together and led it themselves, the movement would be on easy street.

I could imagine it... I can't imagine more than a couple of hundred actually doing it. It wouldn't work right now. Most in the ground don't care. Those who do need to make themselves more visible and audible.

I like Kimber but this is very bizarre. Surely you just give it to Cox? Does make me wonder if England have had a quiet word in case Patel needs to keep himself free around that time...

Decent interview with Hull: https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/england-premium/josh_hull_interviewbefore_got_phone_call_never_thought_was_ready.html?t=638773102169894386

It's sort of how most international friendships start really, it's usually either through groundhopping or guys who moved somewhere for work. Until our recent history we had a lot in common with Bochum though - same colours, yo-yo clubs, unsuccessful in the finals of our nation's top cup competition, two rivals who claim bot to care about us.

Beautiful down the West Rhein Railway too. Done it twice with Bochum, fell asleep in the away end the first time (train had set off at midnight for a 3.30pm kick-off the next day).

First win in Munich against them in 34 years. Be a lively Football Special (complete with disco carriage and bar) back through the night tonight!

I'm from Harborough and it was always Forest and Derby still. We're too far east to have had any Cov crossover. Just hate them all. Keeps it nice and easy.

Absolutely despise them for their horrendous rip-off songbook. Worst in the country for nicking others' unique chants.
