"Besides Leicester City, what attracted you to the billionaire: Top?"

Fortunately, it's not the end of the world. Obviously, I'd prefer to see goals when in the stadium because that's part of the reason being there but I don't watch LCFC just for last minute goals. On several occasions, I've been happy hearing a last minute winner. Last season, I often hoped that would be the case!! I don't need to celebrate every goal by limbs ablazing. I get the point about the players clapping to a half empty stadium at the final whistle but I don't think they're crying in the changing rooms afterwards due to a lack of adoring fans. (I was one of the few muppets who stayed after the defeat to Newcastle last season - my whole row empty & I recall a FT debate about whether fans should clap or not after such a performance or lack of). I appreciate this season, they deserve a clap but again they ain't missing/looking out for my ugly mug. I assume at some point, the club will introduce a points system for the "perfect" fan & the top 10 will get an all expenses paid tour of Seagrave where you they can be carried around by the players on a pedestal showered with blue tinted roses (but not by Danny W for safety reasons 😉). Obviously I won't qualify & in any case, I wouldn't want to get stuck in traffic getting back on to the A46 😁

Don't disagree with the points made but fortunately we haven't missed too many last minute goals at (almost got caught out with recent Casadei winner but ended up in an hour's queue/ down on the steps to see Ulloa's equaliser against WHU in 15/16). Agree it's my own fault parking on FC & potentially getting "trapped" in one way system - now made worse by only a single lane at the bottom of Commercial Square stopping those folks turning left rather than right. If Rudkin can arrange an exit pass or fast lane for those fans having a "legitimate" reason for leaving early 😉 I appreciate everyone has their own reasons for staying & leaving & equally views on so-called "rights / wrongs" of leaving early. Hopefully things will settle down as this season goes on & more folks stay to the end so I can leave on 90.

Here you go - on average, I save an hour by leaving on 85 mins compared to waiting to full time. Why? I leave home at 10am (Sat match) & due to traffic, I may arrive at 1pm or 2.30pm in Leicester. Having parked on Freeman's Common for 25 years, after the match, I can either sit in a traffic queue & take 60 mins+ to get out of Leicester or leave early & save 60 by leaving early. Prior to this season, I could leave on 90 mins & avoid the masses. I agree this year, it's getting worse!! Ultimately, the lads don't care whether I'm still there on 85, 90 or 96 mins. Occasionally, I do stay due to family commitments or staying over & clap the lads off - does KDH, Vards, etc give a monkeys: No! Same as when I go to away matches & don't need to rush off as the traffic is less worse than Leicester. Ultimately, you pays your money, you make your choices. Mine is to avoid an extra hour on a return journey which could take me another 3 or 4.5 hours to get home. No one forces me to support LCFC, no one pays for my season ticket, no one gives a tozz whether I'm there at the end or not. I love my club & it's my choice to spend 9/10 hours+ driving to/from a match. However for the sake of 5-10 mins, I avoid an additional guaranteed 60 mins of sitting in a traffic jam driving out of Leicester with those driving either further afield or maybe just to Wigston, Glenfield, etc

What's Shane Long doing these days?

Anyone know if the forwarding max 4 times in the season is in addition to resale max 5 times this season? If so, I expect there could be alot of availability for mid week home matches for those season ticket holders living outside of the Midlands (plastic I know)

I went from LG to Sony 4k LED about 2 years ago & wouldn't go back to LG with its clunky smart tv settings/magic remote. My Sony works well with Sky Q / PS5 / smart phones etc. Also bought a Sony refurbished tv (for spare room) several years ago which was good as well. Usually a few good deals around Black Friday (but appreciate you're looking now!)

Brief flashes of brilliance (usually lasting no longer than 10 minutes) & unfortunately many minutes of dross & abject calamity (eg Forest away in the Cup) - goodbye Sweet Prince
