Paninistickers

There is a significant portion of our fanbase that simply aren't 'football people' I don't doubt their support (in their own way) for the club, but the nuance of the game; 'reading the game', culture, tradition, etiquette simply pass them by.

He really really don't like Dennis does he?

How will lots of people buy tickets that they haven't a clue are available? The only sources of publicity are zoned on a very niche group of people that follow of foxestalk, UFS or the Foxestrust. Imagine a cinema refusing to publicise tickets for a film on their socials. It beggars belief

His contract will surely have been paid up. No savings made, other than one less meal at the canteen and kit to wash

Lodgers. Just reading about a homeless guy - holding down a a full time job - on the BBC website. He can't afford rent. The old days those in the same situation - a Curly or Eddie Yates - would lodge with an Emily Bishop or Hilda (As for the name checks above, iykyk)

Does anyone else remember Steve Walsh appearing on 'through the keyhole' in the late 1990s? Or did I have a fever dream? Oh how I've looked for this on YouTube but to no avail. The panel (unsurprisingly) failed to guess the homeowner. When Walshy was revealed, there was an awkward applause from panel and audience, all clearly dumbfounded as they were still none the wiser as to who he was.

Been impressed with Preston these opening 20 Edit; seem to be playing two strikers too. How refreshing!

Note to @Union FS and @Foxes_Trust ...it ain't enough for the club to pay lip service to general sale. It needs to be marketed too. If a tree falls in the woods and all that....

I said it earlier in the thread and it was meant without much exaggeration or hyperbole - someone down their isn't right in the head. They actively do not want to sell tickets. On every front; business, financial, strategic, community...The anti ticket sales policy is on the fringes of insanity.

Was definitely filmed earlier this week. Mark Selby even referenced the Ipswich game plus KDH posted the shoot on his story this week

That comment does seem a tad immature tbh. Bit unwise

Exactly that. If every time I went online to get something from Amazon, but they refused to sell to me unless I took out prime, you'd soon give up and not bother even checking for the freak occasions Amazon choose to offer a 'no prime needed' day (especially if the offer received minimal promotion) The club have inflicted unseen and uncountable damage on the casual supporter base.

The staffing at football clubs in general is quite interesting. A large part of the lower ranks and foot soldiers are Uber fans, and would work for less than peanuts. They see their job as if it were a monastic calling. These lot wouldn't challenge anything internally. The more senior staff delight in separating themselves from the emotion of the club and revel in making hard nosed bastardesque decisions, as if to show they are tough business people and aren't for wilting under mob pressure.

None of which, we should remind ourselves, is his fault. This is a self inflicted disaster. Absurd transfer fee. Grotesque wages. Contract renewal on even more grotesque wages. Being awful but being picked and being relegated because he was picked

He's been largely garbage for us. At best he's been quiet and average..wtf would Chelsea want him back? He'll be loaned out to a middle ranked championship or European club within weeks

Surely it's almost certain we have sent him back, but agreed to him being 'recalled' in order to protect his value. Good business on both parts. Even if I'm.wrong, it's serendipitous that he's gone. Football gods pulled a masterstroke for us here

Ricky at no. 8 and Hamza at RB. If KDH is unavailable (which will be bad bad news) then Praet all day long assuming he can actually walk. Worst case, I'd seriously rather play JJ as an emergency number 8 and bring Doyle over Coady in for his defensive spot

Benefit of doubt, don't think it's all gear. It's amazing how people are stripped of confidence. As kids would say now, zero rizz.

Despite a modest recent improvement from shocking to moderate, if Casadei is anywhere near this it'll be a defeat.

Premier League football being shown almost exclusively in the UK on sky

Exactly that. The notion that, say, Dion Dublin in his youth living on Filbert Street itself could nip over and stand on the Kop was absurd. Heskey was the same - had to follow Liverpool as a kid as it was easier to do that remotely than hsi parents subject him to the abuse thrown at black players. Conversely,.black players were much more readily accepted in local football circles in the 80s. A classic case of when people actually get to know one another, they see a person and not a colour

Haha, as with anything and anyone in life Broadway, Fairway Manor Road are the extraordinary.... gorgeous area. Tbh, I've never seen such extensive quality housing stock in any city outside of London - regardless of the owner ethnicity. My sights are more accustomed to the ordinary 1960s housing stock of semis. The classic little England. It's gone downhill. Poorly maintained. Just functioning and functional. Anyways, we digress. Just in case you had any doubt, I like Leicester people following Leicester. Rich. Poor. White. Hindu. Female (well less so them...jokes!). Gay. Muslim. Polish. Students. Tourists. I naturally have a distaste for anyone living here and not backing us. It's a colour blind dislike.

Think I'm gonna come out of my main stocks and shares ISA fund and take a 5% cash ISA for at least the next 12 months. 5% sounds appealing atm

I get ya, and don't be over sensitive. Couple of points. Asians, yup, is a lazy/easy to use catch all term. In the way 'City fans' or 'Man U fans' is a catch all term. Second, yeah, makes sense there isnt the generational ties. But not is there to Man U. You will know as well as I do that there's a leaning towards winning in life with British Asians , more than say a white British family has. Thirdly, housing stock. Some of the previously nice houses are ****ing dumps. Single glazed, gardens all over the shop, hideous extensions. It's degraded the area. Tis what it is. It's not a race thing, just observational. Like I might say that Leicester city centre has taken a turn for the worse with Vape shops.

Oadby was, as you'd expect for a large suburb 4 miles from the centre, a City stronghold. They had quite a few boys back in the 80s and 90s too. The place has changed beyond recognition, down to the mass Asian influx, obsessed initially with enrolling the Kids at Beauchamp school. I'm not shy to say it. It isn't anti Asian to say so. The housing stock has been absolutely butchered. Though, funnily enough, the town centre is thriving. And large portions of the Asian community prefer to follow Liverpool and Man Utd. I've always guessed it's a deep rooted cultural thing to be perceived as successful and obvs the winning odds (long term) are stacked in Liverpool's and Man Utds favour
