So they're selling tickets not knowing when the game is taking place! If changed, many may not be able to make it, if so, are refunds applicable?

Leicester Road is also a crap name for a football club.

If I make it to FIFA president I would expend the world cup to 256 nations, hold it every year in the middle East & buy Barbados.

Feb 1983 away at Carlisle. Never been colder in my life. A 1-0 away win was some consolation. Copenhagen 2016 a close second.

Big crowd at Kirby Muxloe today for their game with Nuneaton. 3-1 win to Nuneaton ensures they win the title to move up to the Midland league Premier. As expected, a big away turn out. Considerable number of Kirby fans including many teenage wannabe hooligans, which I found surprising in idyllic Kirby Muxloe who were lively to say the least.

My thoughts exactly, well put.

When did you first realise we don't have good owners?

Will you go to any more matches this season?
boots60 replied to hejammy's topic in Leicester City Forum
We are & have always been a roller coaster club. Up & down, good times & bad times. I remember in 2015 there were quite a few who didn't renew their season tickets after a disappointing season (last quarter excepted) thus missing out on the greatest season in our history. I'm not saying we will automatically return to the Premier league when we undoubtedly go down this year but, at some stage we will be back. Ive witnessed several drops following City, my first experience of relegation was in the McLintock season but at no time did I ever think about packing up my Saturdays supporting City. Those who do not renew this year will be the first to have a whinge when they can't get a season ticket when we come good again. To enjoy the good you have to have seen the bad. UP THE CITY -
New Season Ticket - Amount of Points Required

About this time in 2015 many were saying they were not going to renew, some didn't, some did, you know the rest. -
Worst Leicester team in the premier league era?
boots60 replied to The whole world smiles's topic in Leicester City Forum
Its a little known fact but football actually existed before the Premier League Back in 1978 Frank McLintock's band of drinking partners served up some quite woeful football, similar to what we have seen this season. The difference being then, we loved the club & still got behind the team, where now we hate the club & create no atmosphere to encourage the team -

The King Richard was altered beyond belief. Unique traditional town boozer turned into a pretentious attempt to attract diners. Eating area next to the loo's doomed to fail. A bit more pub like now but will never regain the character it once had.

Unfortunately he had a nasty accident tripping over his Alice band & is now sore.

This town, is coming like a ghost town Government leaving the youth on the shelf This town, is coming like a ghost town No job to be found in this country Can't go on no more The people getting angry

As a senior I get to save one whole pound on this which will go towards the £1.50 booking fee, I am so lucky to be an old fecker! On the plus side, a rare 3.00 Saturday K.O.

BBC totally out of touch, change for changes sake. Stick you license fee where the sun don't shine.

First visit to Barwell yesterday. Good set up & as you say Barwell unlucky to lose, mainly down to bad luck & questionable refereeing. Good to see Ashley Chambers still giving his all at 35. All in all, a great afternoon out in the spring sunshine.

Not too long ago, the teams I disliked were notts forest, derby & coventry. This was when local rivalry was to the fore & bragging rights at work were important. For me, things have changed, football has changed, things are far more about big money than they ever have been & now I love to see any of the so called "Big six" lose & after Leicester City want every underdog to win. The bragging rights now are mainly an uphill battle against plastic fans of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool etc. If notts forest ended up top 4, that would have been a disaster but these days I look upon it as 2 fingers up to the big clubs. As for Derby, hope they stay up, if we go down then it's a decent away day out with quality boozers which I've not been too in a long time.

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff

The best of Leicester's darts players used the ship. Would do well now with the current upsurge in darts, but as you say, not too many people realised there was a pub there. -
Will Diana Ross be taking any penalties?

Fever Pitch is partly responsible for the "New breed" of football fans that have invaded our game & consequently led to massive price increases & lack of atmosphere this past 3 decades. Might not have been so bad if he had actually attended the Liverpool away title decider (not all ticket back then) instead of watching on the box. There's a passage in the book where he describes his addiction to football on his first visit to Highbury, before a ball has even been kicked. Nick Hornby is undoubtedly an intelligent chap & popular author but as for football he's a bandwagon jumper.

A couple of the Leicester independent coaches usually stop at the William Morris (spoons) pub in Hammersmith for a couple of hours & a bit more upmarket is the Swan pub next door. Short tube ride away.

Mozart had a gaff there, which you can visit, if that floats your boat.
