Tell us how you really feel mate
-
You may very well be right, particularly in view of our reported recent interest in other goalkeepers which would seem unnecessary without a Mads sale.
-
I really hope that too but I have to say those hopes are diminishing by the hour.
-
Comparison websites can be misleading it's true but that ticket cost of £2.50 - or £2.10.0 - as it was in those days is entirely accurate. Sadly, my Father died later that year which led to my keeping the ticket stub as a momento or one of our last days out together. After his passing I started to go to Filbert Street on my own or with school friends when we used to sit in the double decker and for which the ticket cost was - I think but I'm not sure - 7/6d in old money (35p) apparently equivalent to about £9.00 today.
-
When I was taken to my first ever LCFC match at Filbert Street in 1963 - won 3 - 0, Colin Appleton scored the 1st in the 7th minute - my Father took me to sit in the Centre Stand which was then the most expensive area of the ground and where his adult ticket cost £2.50. I found it interesting to see that, according to two websites I checked this morning, that £2.50 he paid in 1963 is today equivalent to just over £65. Things perhaps don't change all that much bearing in mind that I remember him complaining about the cost then!

They do and it is, I'm not used to this at all........

Fine, I hope you're right but look around you. Any reference to the club's existence prior to King Powers takeover has been removed from the stadium, no reference to - or acknowledgement - of the club's previous achievements, trophies or history before that time, just nothing. Other clubs don't do that - they celebrate their history and the lack of any of that from our club really bugs me. Has done for ages. I may be wrong, will happily apologise if I am, but I think Top's involvement and interest in the Leicester community is also far less than that shown by his father.
-
I've had this really depressing feeling for some time that Top,and his family now just view our club as being King Power's 'works' football team - a means of boosting King Power's status in Thailand when things are going well and something to show off about to his friends. When things aren't going so well of course it seems on past experience that they're nowhere to be seen. It really looks like attittudes towards the club within the company really changed after we lost Vichai, the drive and ambition of his years in charge now seem to be missing.
-
It's been pointed out before that all the club need to do is to pop down the road to the Tigers shop where they will see both the design and the manufacturing quality of the vast majority of the merchandise on offer is far superior to anything in our Foxes "superstore". You never know, the might get the message and make some effort in future.
-
To you and I, maybe but this is Chelsea we're talking about. When did common sense or self-restraint have anything to do with it?
-
Of course, but behind the scenes we probably are. With a manager in place, I completely understand that any review of possible and potentially available replacements will be conducted out of public view as far as is possible
-
I just can't see any reasons for optimism at the moment given recent performances on the pitch and what seems to be a total vacuum at Board / senior management levels.
-
Am I right in thinking that Enzo has said that if he ever felt that the club had lost belief in his tactics and in his style of play, then he'd be off? Enzo mate, I think we've all lost belief in your tactics and style of play.

Train times have been a problem for me all season when I've been attending night games - particularly those with an 8pm kick off. The last train out of Leicester which has the right onward connections leaves at 10.15 which still leaves me with a 2 hour journey home. Miss the 10.15 and the next train doesn’t leave until 04.30. I hate leaving a match early but in my place, so would anyone.
-
Thr railway station actually from which my last train home was due to depart at 22.10 - miss that and I would have to wait until 04.30 'is for the next one. And judging from the number of people leaving in the ground and heading in the same direction, I was very far from being the only one. I really don't like having to miss the last few minutes of any match but blame Sky for the later kick-off time or blame railway scheduling - I really don't feel that I am being given any choice.
-
Congratulations to you both, I hope you'll both be very happy.
-
Steady on .......... I'm a Grandad, I play football with my grandsons in my back garden and I move a damn sight quicker than he does!
-
Same here, never seen him play and had never previously heard of him. Not sure I can reliably remember his name or even pronounce it properly but it doesn't make it any the less exciting!
-
I can't tell you how big a blow this will have been. In the days of my following non-league football, a visit to Kidderminster Harriers was pretty much the highlight of the season with their cottage pie plus optional gravy absolutely outstanding for, I think, £5.50. Bugger the football, we all went for the food. I'm serious!

Things that you prefer about the championship
Nickaj replied to BenTheFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
To go off slightly at a tangent, I prefer the Championship precisely because it doesn't feature the so called Premier League 'big six' clubs whose levels of spending this season particularly have shown how it is almost impossible for 75% of the other clubs in the Premier League to compete with them. In the Championship there is more for us to play for than simply trying to avoid relegation whilst hoping that by some chance we might also somehow manage to sneak into the top six positions ourselves - we have achieved that before, yes, but the chances that if back in the Premier League we might do that again seem to me to be diminishing by the hour. That to me is not what a competitive league should be about and I've surprised myself by not missing it. I really wish those six clubs would join their super league and clear off leaving the remaining clubs in the Premier League to compete on a far more even footing. I might then even look forward to joining them! -
Been feeling really optimistic for the new season since the new managerial appointments but honestly, I know I'll have a problem maintaining that optimism if we kick off against Coventry with Danny Ward in goal. I'm sorry, thats just the way it is

Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?
Nickaj replied to Happy Fox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Just imagine the reaction on here if the club were to announce Scott Parker as the new manager now!! -

Don't need to shave my head, or dye my beard come to that!
