Stoke recording Leicester and Sunderland levels of BS attendance figures again.Nearly 24000 there yesterday. See,we aren’t the only ones who like to count people twice.

My Dad found the plastic scrum devise thing at a church fete when I was a kid.We then bought two teams from the toy and pram shop on Charles Street.The all Blacks and Wales.They came in really fancy brown rectangle boxes.Thats about as far as it got We had a huge collection of the football side of things but the rugby was real niche stuff.There’s not a great deal about it on YouTube either.

I would still like to know if they have borrowed on future ticket sales

Just the one I’m afraid

CL semi final and top five finishes,to 3rd tier,points reduction and financial ruin in five years or so.It has to be Leeds.The Portsmouth soap opera ponzi scheme was also a painful watch.

Not renewing my season ticket: I cannot be only one
Heathrow fox replied to LinekersLugs's topic in Leicester City Forum
No need to give prices but roughly what % increase are we talking from 2015 to now? -
The Wakefield thing is a bit of a myth.Wakefield MB takes in several other towns like Castleford and Pontefract.You don’t claim to be from Wakefield if you’re from Pontefract for example. When the fourth tier had no relegation and was settled for a time.The smallest town to have a Football League club was Aldershot.Yet if Aldershot Town ever get their league 2 status back,They can claim to be the nearest league club for eight hundred thousand people.That is until Woking get promoted

The Leicester Tigers are easily the equivalent of a very decent League 2 club.(Atl least) It maybe a different sport and I know a fair fee watch both teams,but they still provide competition for bums on seats.Even more so at times like these. it’s no surprise that the obvious big one club city (Leeds) also have the Rhinos

Have they borrowed on the back of future ticket sales? I really wouldn’t put it past them

He’s a level above Gary Monk But only just

Protest march vs Norwich - Sat 28th Feb 2026
Heathrow fox replied to Dan's topic in Leicester City Forum
Are you really trying to compare Birmingham to Leicester? Leicester City Council are reluctant to grant planning permission on anything built over 6 foot.Let’s not even go there with their stance on extra traffic. Leicester isn’t even the capital city in one of the lesser regions of the country btw. There are reasons it couldn’t sustain an arena of significant size. -

They bought Birmingham City because it’s a great location to build a sports village and NFL standard stadium.Looking at our situation Reading FC are probably the best recent example.The new owners there are having to chuck in a million quid a month to stabilise things. Something never mentioned is that this will be the 2nd time this century that the club has flirted with financial ruin.If I was a potential buyer I would flag that up. -

Realistic Managerial Replacements
Heathrow fox replied to winteriscoming's topic in Leicester City Forum
I can only think that the date for compo to kick in was after the transfer widow and they panicked.Hoped that one of their contacts would come in eventually and that King would steady the ship in the meantime. -

It was alarm bells going off quite loudly.He had to pay his way in ffs Cooper was the only one mad enough to take us on summer 24.Followed by RVN who had clearly done zero research.Then a desperate Marti.Just look at the direction of travel here. -
Realistic Managerial Replacements

That’s the problem.We don’t have either the cash or the staff to find bargains anymore.Even a non adjusted for inflation 200 K is now beyond us.If you notice the last few transfer windows we have waited right up to the last few seconds to get loan deals through.The managerial recruitment process has also gone down the same downward spiral -
Realistic Managerial Replacements
Heathrow fox replied to winteriscoming's topic in Leicester City Forum
Yet reading these pages posters still seem to think that there will be cash to buy transfers. If the club survive relegation i would expect another fire sale of anything of any worth and massive budget cuts. With the same top brass overseeing it. No reset like the summer of 1991.Or going into the season with real momentum like 09/10.Just a reliance on hit or miss loan signings and the grud that’s leftover. -
And another famous old club bites the dust
-
That Charlton game at Upton Park is the biggest footballing anti climax I have ever experienced.We had the momentum but still needed a win to keep us on track for automatic promotion.I think we drew in what was a pretty dull game and we just couldn’t get any atmosphere going,even though it was glorious weather and 12000 + Leicester in the ground.Having reluctant hosts didn’t help. Couldn’t make the Old Trafford LC game but another huge following.I think Colin Hill scored a consolation that night?

Can’t think of a time in LCFC history when the club has left itself with so few options. -
If there wasn’t a crowd of at least a hundred in the car park venting their anger after that result,then there really is no hope.
-
The cost of a half-time advert this year is in the region of $16 million.That’s total cost after production,paying the actors booking the slot etc.I don’t think that’s bad.It’s a Danny Ward

Realistic Managerial Replacements

Managers tend not to get compo these days if sacked within a certain time scale (Usually six months) So that will be one attraction taken away -
The lower we go the more the montage will watched (by some)with inexhaustible pride
