I go to games, and it is pretty obvious that the fans making the positive noise backing the team with chants etc are exactly the same fans who are chanting Rudkin out, sack the board etc. The rest of the ground essentially makes no noise whatsoever, aside from the occasional mild round of applause or tutting when there are mistakes. It's barely supportive or positive, more of a passive observer watching events unfold in silence.

 

There are no fans who "boo anything to do with city", they intermix positive team chants with anti board ones. Sustained booing of the team itself only tends to occur after games are already lost, mostly after some of the worst player performances in terms of effort the club has seen in recent history. And as proven in this thread, across Facebook and with incidents at the ground, there are many, many instances of "fans who desist from booing the club" verbally, or physically attacking fans who have booed or held anti board banners. You will find plenty of fans on Facebook demonising Union FS, or the movement to reform the Foxes Trust.

All this rhetoric does not alter the fact that there has been a toxic atmosphere among fans and the abuse has mainly been aimed at fans who don’t behave how the abusers think they should. You only have to look back at months of FT to see the amount of flack thrown towards older fans or fans who continue to attend games when verbally attacked for doing so. There are former fans on here who despise anything to with City., expressing their hate for the club and disgust for fans who don’t share their opinions.

Point is you have implied that the insults are only going in one direction - towards Top, Rudkin etc. And that the other type of fan has a "different way" than those hurling insults - but as evidenced by the other post quoted, that different way seems to be just as toxic, and contains plenty of venom towards fans of the club who are expressing their discontent with the current running of it. So not really "different" at all.

The malicious insults are going in the direction of Top and Rudkin but also to fans  who try to show support for Leicester City which  is actually not toxic. I am not defending Top or Rudkin and wish that they would leave our club. The fans who have desisted from booing the club have been demonised by those who choose to boo anything to do with City.

So by "way is different" I guess that actually means even more toxic and insulting of other fans than those that boo. Seems to be quite a bit of subsidence on that moral high ground you think you're on, starting to look more like standing at bottom of a hole with your head in the sand.

Don’t actually get your drift. I am not on any moral high ground at all. Disliking the animosity between fans of the same club does not equate with your assumptions.

Was that the hot off the press paper produced after the game? I remember coming back after an away game and it was a must read 

Yes. My mate used to travel from Kettering and always hoped that the Sports Mercury was on sale at the station before his train went. It usually was.

Not worth reading the Mercury anymore. Absolute trash .

The Saturday “Buff” was a must read for City fans and was a great local sports paper. 

There are an awful lot of stories on the Merc website regarding Russell Martin being the new manager and various players being sold. I do not subscribe to the paper so am unable to find anything which is subscription only. None of these stories have been raised on FT so maybe no one else subscribes or they are not true. If not true, why do they print this stuff. Surely your local paper should be keeping you in the loop of what is actually happening.

Ive always said im not bothered about what happens in offices, i enjoy a couple of beers, meeting the lad, now being able to take my grandson who has a first time season ticket, watching a Leicester City in a game of football, going home and having a decent take away, that for me is a nice way to spend a Saturday. I dont take the result home with me or worry about what the owners or office staff are earning or what the are doing, just a day out, talking football with freinds and family. ive followed City for over 60 years home and away (when possible) and wouldnt want it any other way

You realise that you will be blamed for everything that’s gone wrong at the club!

A number of posters have blamed certain fans for all the problems we have…..

Hahahahha if you don’t think this club is horrible right now, you are part of the  problem. Get a grip. 

Ah yes. That boring mantra from anti City fans. “You’re part of the problem” The club is in a desperate and dire situation and the removal of the owner and Rudkin is paramount to any improvement of the situation. Fans can still love the club they have done for however long or short a time, without supporting King Power. Yes, Top’s name may be over the door, but as far as I’m concerned, Leicester City is MY club and always will be. So stick your mantra and you get a grip.

There is no pathway for youth at this horrible club. Good for him. 

Quite a few youngsters played last season, some more successfully than others. This year they should be stronger and fitter. You can’t play every promising 15 year old in the 1st team. If our club is so horrible, I suggest you change your name and find a club that isn’t so horrible and has a team made up of 15 to 17 year olds.

Well, although the infighting will no doubt carry on ad nauseum, at least we were ALL there when it counted. We will always have 2015/16 and this club will NOT die.

What’s really sad is that so many want this to be a humiliation and embarrassment just to satisfy their hate for Top and Rudkin, and are happy for Leicester City and some of the title winning players, to be included in that scenario. Why do you keep carping on at and abusing those who want to acknowledge this event whilst venting your venom on anything to do with City. In this instance, you should be ashamed and embarrassed. Many have already stated that they no longer care for the club so why don’t those ex fans p…. Off and follow someone else.

Death has just been announced of Mike Galloway aged 60. Was on loan to City around 1995 but only played a few matches, but was one of those loan players who really endeared himself to City fans with his tough, uncompromising playing style. 

It’s a competition and if you’re caught cheating you should expect to be kicked out. If you were in a quiz team for example, and one of your team tells you he saw some of the answers on someone’s desk and is overheard and reported, you’d expect to be disqualified, even though the rest of the team would be appalled, they have to bear the consequences. I feel for the fans and the players, but I wonder if there were only the 3 teams mentioned, involved. As it happens , they lost at Oxford and drew with Ipswich.

Ive just moved to Ashby recently, from Peterborough.

 

Season Ticket holder for many years

 

Used to come in from Peterborough for 20yrs+

 

- on the train for daytime Saturday matches to meet LCFC supporting friends/family pre-game

-  in the car along the A47 for night matches.

 

Theres always more traffic than usual comes in from that way (and back) on those Leicester evening matches, so decent support from that way.

 

As for Ashby ...... I made contact with someone connected with Coalville and Ashby Supporters Coaches, with a view to getting the Supporters Coach in with them on all night Home matches, and maybe some daytime ones too - as the bus service from Ashby into Leicester is shocking

 

- about 1 hour 40 minutes each way minimum, and

 

- last bus back to Ashby on a Saturday leaves St Margarets is 5.25pm

 

- meaning a jog back from the King Power - or you miss the bus - for a 3pm kick-off.

 

Was told that Coalville and Ashby Supporters Coaches for HOME games start from Coalville now (they no longer go to Ashby at all for those) - they only come here on AWAY fixtures.

 

So thats two reasons why Ashby may get dislocated from LCFC and the KP stadium

 

*  you cant get in by public transport (and back) for anything apart from a 12.30am Saturday Kick-Off

 

*  you cant use the Coalville and Ashby Supporters Coaches unless you drive to Coalville

-  (may as well just drive to Leicester, or a better connected village/town bus route in the County, like Desford, Newbold Verdon etc) where we have family.

 

So until public transport into Leicester includes a quicker bus route - or until the Supporters Coaches come back to Ashby (not just Coalville) - then the chance of increasing support for our club out here, is very limited.

 

 

 

Would certainly give the Coalville Supporters club bus a try. You can park near the bus pick up near Memorial Square for a small fee. Once on the bus you don’t have to worry about negotiating the traffic, just sit and chat with a friendly bunch while the driver has that problem. Get dropped outside the club shop and picked up after the match on Burnmoor Street

I missed Julian's goal in the Swindon playoff final. I'd completely thrown my toys out the pram at three nil and not even looking like scoring, I wanted to go home but my mates wouldn't so I went into the concourse to ring my missis on the payphone, whilst I was talking to her, Julian scored so I went back.

 

That Thommo goal is still the most thrilling single moment I've ever experienced in 50 years following the club. Goosebumps.

So true re Thommo.  The build up to the goal leads to a brilliant crescendo. Bit like the ending of A Day in the Life by the Beatles . Still get the tingles watching it.

For people who wanted to follow Rugby over recent years, not every town or city has a rugby team. Tigers were like the Man Utd of rugby with fans from all over the country.

And all four had major changes to their ownership. 
 

Newcastle got the Saudis in after Ashley 

Man Utd had Radcliffe buy half of the club 

Spurs finally shaked off Levy with Rudkin esque control of the club 

Everton have had new American owners for the last 18 months 

But it took a number of years. Some on this forum think the owners could be gone next month if we protest enough. Owners/chairmen seem to go when THEY choose.

I wanted to see which clubs you were going to mention. 

 

But all these clubs have been sold now though?

Glaziers still at Man Utd. Have Jim Ratcliffe in who has made a number of unpopular decisions which is costing the fans more money. Ashley went when he decided even though he was subjected to years of abuse. I am not in favour of King Power but think a financial reason for selling is not going to come from a half empty stadium but something that hits the KP company in the millions not tens of thousands.

The majority of players won't be there for a start.

 

Also, I'm personally not doing something I don't want to do, just to save possible embarrassment and mask the reality of our situation. This was a terrible idea from the start.

 

The possibility of a special match was mentioned at the evening at De Mont in October, which involved Morgan, Huth, Simpson and Albrighton. How is attending this occasion going to mask the problems we have. Might have a few hours of nostalgia of happier times. Do you think the fans are so stupid that they would forget we’d been relegated?

Literally 12 hours after posting this Liverpool did a huge u turn on their ticket price increases due to fan backlash and protest hahaha

Not really comparable to selling a club is it. Principle may be there but the subject matter totally different, hahaha….
