I hated football almost as much as I hated King Power and what LCFC had become. I seriously loathed everything about the club - and not bothering with STs or memberships was incredibly easy. Not bothering with match tickets then became simple.
From the first match back at the Poppies after buying a season ticket, I returned home with a broad smile. Over the last two seasons the bond has become stronger - regardless of the first one being nothing but humiliating defeats.
I volunteer to maintain the grounds, know everyone by first name, and can be regularly found in the clubhouse away from fixtures. Above and beyond anything else, the club is the people who volunteer there and the community it serves.
Matchdays start at midday with pints and pizza, awaydays are a joy of experiencing tiny grounds for the first or second time.
I couldn’t give a flying fvck about international or the professional game, this is real football - everything the soulless part of the game has forgotten or forsaken.
I get nothing but joy, there is no despair. A loss is simply a loss, the day is far more than that.
