  1. Standard for high demand games in the Premier League nothing odd about it. Other clubs do similar the pain is the walk you need to leave the Tigers 20 minutes before kick off to be in your seats. Food in the past has been OK it’s the same caterer as at the KP. No half time or after match element brings the price down.
  2. All clubs that have won nothing in the last 20 years at least we tried, succeeded and then failed under this leadership. Despite losses Top has always made clear he underwrites our debts and we are a solvent going concern. Has overreaching hurt us yes but it was a glorious time which I would not swap for the comfort zone of all the clubs you mention. FFP, PSR are all designed to restrict ambition and that’s what has happened. The leaders of the EPL and EFL are self centered evil who need to be removed from the sport. Anyone who thinks anything else is Nieve and Deluded. Is Top perfect no but if The ever changing quicksand of FFP and PSR did not exist I believe he would have invested and we might be in a better place. If you think some perfect white knight is going to ride in and replace KP think again. Football takes deep pockets of losses name me one who wants to step up.
  3. I will throw in Alan Birchenal due to the longevity as a player and ambassador through highs, lows, tradgedies and adversity. Players like Mharez and Lineker soured their status. Worth Ing is a legend for the pure joy of football he delivers. Vardy is not a legend as he surpasses all criteria.
  4. The reality is no one knows and there are so many moving parts unless you see a copy of what the club submitted you never will. The last 2 sets of accounts had us at losses of 181million. PSR allows certain deductions. I think that with the deductions and the KDH sale it probably came just below the 105 million. This year TV income will be up so maybe it’s going to be tight or they are predicting a sale. What has been submitted is a predictive set of accounts so maybe they are stretching the prediction. Of course they may still claim we were not part of the EPL so last year not to be included. It’s definitely a tight rope.
  5. Totally agree you need an engaged body even if we do not agree on everything. I see nothing from the Trust despite being a member. I see more from other trusts. The FSA is also not great I am a member there and see little activity. Small club trusts are far more engaged with their members.
  6. You mean like minded people cannot collaborate or is yes I support the motion is considered the same wording? Do the board members realize that responses such as this make some of us wonder is this really a fair and open democratic process. As a foxes trust member I am becoming more and more concerned. Point 2 should never have been made
  7. Ayew back in I don’t get we looked so much livelier with Buono in the side.
  8. Not sure the ‘lemming’ argument is a good one. Just because everyone else does it that way does not automatically make it right. I would like to hear the why the current board fears what appears to be a democratic reasonable rule. To remove someone would still require 2/3rd majority in favor. If an individual in a position of leadership has lost the confidence of 2/3rds of the membership why would you want them to continue?
  9. Can you share where they have indicated a postal or digital vote on the motion. The correspondence I have makes no mention of this are some form of games being played here? The motion makes sense to me and I will be voting for it in person unless something is being I acted to deny votes.
  10. Ask again end of January will not take much to survive but we need to be coached to defend as a unit and get rid of the consistent leave alone players behind the full back. If we don’t we are down as second bottom.
  11. True that Top did not return to his seat for the second half was seen sitting in one of the executive boxes. Something went on watching the body language of Rudkin and Whelan throughout the second half.
  12. So let’s be clear Leicester City Football Club no longer has any control over the Digital Ticketing conversation as long as they play in the Premier League it is now a compliance issue. In June 2024 the EPL Board as announced August 2nd 2024 that by August 2026 all tickets in the EPL will be digital. No more discussion. Away supporters tickets to be digital by next season. Promoted clubs get 2 years to comply. In that announcement clubs had to discuss roadmaps with fans which is what it seems is being done. The discussion is pace and exceptions. What was not announced was what full digital means and what concessions. I have heard that 75% plus is the EPL target for next season whether that is accurate I can find no documentation but it seems likely. The discussion for us now is the extent of concessions. If we focus on we do not like the decision we will achieve nothing the EPL is not going to reverse hence I believe the word acceptance.
  13. Our fullback positioning and play has been diabolical all season and cost us again today. Kristian den is no where near the players he should be covering. Yes part of that is the player in front of them neither mcateer or Madvadidi worked or tracked enough. Justin and Choudray are both constant cowards constantly turning their back on shots man up for gods sake. The whole team today was totally disorganized and lacking in work rate. You do not mind losing but there must be effort and it was completely absent today.. RVN does not escape leaving Buonanotto out big error.
  14. I think we may not know what his job is these days. He has not been seen since the Brentford away game which surprises me. You would have thought the new managers first two home games the director of football would be front and center even more so when the Chairman has been absent. With his other KP roles maybe he is no longer a DOF in the way we think about it. I think the one aspect that undermines him is he looks weak, a lot of decisions look weak, maybe this role is just too challenging for him or he has lost focus. It’s easy to do when you have a boss who pulls you in multiple directions. I believe that the big weakness as well is we keep rewarding service not always talent. Too many former players given jobs. The club has become too inward looking so cannot see or address its challenges. I believe the owner is too close to the players that’s an error. They need to understand they are employees and performance rules.
  15. Had not given this much thought but Tuesday it struck me how bad this announcer is. His team introduction was just flat as if he cannot be bothered. Surely somebody better could be found. I almost wonder if anyone takes the time to monitor clarity around the ground because it seems very poor. That cannot be the infrastructure as that was in place for previous people.
  16. Spot on the exercise is to look at the variants and provide feedback to the club so they understand which version is preferred. Location is a separate question I believe.
  17. Do what you want hospitality can be good and actually the atmosphere in some parts of hospitality is better than some ordinary seated areas. Do not go to Weller Lounge, Fosse Lounge is OK, Champions Club you will see the man of the match after the game, food is good you will be on a shared table doable to mix with other fans. Despite what many think there are many ‘ordinary’ fans in hospitality not just corporate freebies as some would make out. You will find it closer to standards at US Venues we know we were also season ticket holders at Houston Dynamo, Houston Astros for many years.
  18. There were three filings and it is change as the previous party of significant control was a company now it is Top as an individual. It is part of a trend I previously pointed out. The articles of association were earlier changed to reflect that Top on his own can make any decision. His club, his board, now his shares so he does what he wants and does not have to consult anyone. Now what else does this bring? Nothing he already had total control this is just another step in overall clarity. Of course in the event of serious financial problems it does remove King Power and its assets from the equation. On the question of the five years that is irrelevant as this is by subtle nuance a change today. Maybe this weekend having fired Cooper he is on a bit of a power trip. My club so I am making it clear it’s my club. Anyone who ever doubted that is misguided.
  19. Based on observations of the communications director, the overall lack of true journalists and the clear use of social media conspiracies by media outlets I cannot see that the club made any such comment on or off the record. I believe that Cooper has never had dressing room support and Vardy probably had a right moan at the owner post Chelsea driving an action that was already on his mind. The body language of the key people was very negative well before the end of the game on Saturday. It was never going to work supporters me included hated the man for his past coaching failures and his declared love of Forest. Perfect storm with the likeliest outcome.
  20. I think the answers should be stronger no I am not secretly happy I am ecstatic and hope they are serious long term injuries so they miss multiple games against us constant abuse of all of them even when watching a replay yes they are all dead to me the second they are gone , they don’t exist as human beings they are pond scum clap, jump up and down, celebrate if you don’t do all these I think you cannot consider yourself a fan only a spectator
  21. Then that is unacceptable I for one will write to the Trust today citing voting intimidation and demand it does not occur at the AGM unless they are paid up members. The independent running elections needs to ensure free and fair. Nothing against the club or the individuals but no outside influences should be allowed unless they stump up and be part of the trust.
  22. Can it be shared with all fans to understand the arguments and proposal bases. On the surface it seems L1 has not been considered and it would be interesting to understand that.
  23. Surely only Foxes Trust members can attend or else what’s the point. If staff or club employees want to attend surely they must become members.i would expect that all entering are validated as true members of good standing with the right to vote. The elections are supposed to be proctored by an independent appointed election official. Since this is likely to be contentious this time around this is crucial.
  24. This is a bigger question about our apparent inability as a club to develop talent. Seagrave has all the infrastructure but do we have the coaching ability. I feel we wait too long to blood talent. Nelson should have stayed and been utilized. We need to have players out there earlier or gone. This is not an isolated view I have been to;d by youngsters who have left and their parents that coaching frailties is an issue that drives them away. This inability drives us to invest in ageing or someone else’s developments often over priced and over rated. Fatawu has talent but is not being improved I feel the same will be the case with Bilal. I can tolerate the poor performances if there is hope. Let’s be honest there is no future beyond a season in Ayew, Eduard, Vestergaard etc. Daka is a good example of we never had an ability to improve him. I feel it’s systemic as we have suffered this under multiple managers/coaches.
  25. Pre season I had us nailed on to go down. A lot of our play has been atrocious. However we are at a better point than I expected. So let’s see the next 4 games if we can pick up say 3 points maybe, lose them all probably in trouble. I hate to say it but let’s see. The one nailed on thing is it is not going to be pretty.
