F**king dead right. Level was onside when I played and I refuse to accept a shin or a bell end can be offside. Unless there is daylight between them, it's onside in my opinion. Yeh yeh I don't care what the law changes are. Who started tinkering with the offside law anyway......and why

Me too.

Im still not convinced the poster isnt on a wind up. But to put it in perspective, I paid to go in the east stand at filbert street as a kid out of my pocket money. So did a good few of my mates. It cost £3.50. there was also no rule that u'16 had to be accompanied by an adult which is a rule in place purely so that the club ensure a full price ticket is purchased alongside a reduced one. It isn't about behaviour. There's grown men who behave a lot worse than u'16s at football. Anyway the point I'm making is that kids being able to buy affordable tickets, go with their mates and have access without a membership wall in the early 90s probably make up a big percentage of today's support. As things are, where is the support in 20 or 30 years coming from if young ones are priced out?

As a side note, is the posh fox emblem on these a new thing or has it always been on the hospitality packages? My first thought was .....not a new badge please

Not sure if you are looking for an argument or what....I'm not saying they are well run but all clubs are run as a business these days, even if they are not a particularly successful one. Customers not fans, charging as much as possible to maximise income....that's being run as a business.....just one with a crap accounting team

That was my reaction. At first I thought he was a wind up merchant but I think he is serious

I disagree with almost everything you have said there but I'm not here to be a troll and argue. However I do agree that the players and agents are the root cause or at least a large part of it. It's the clubs that choose to pay these wages to keep up with other clubs. That will only stop with a salary cap. The wages are obscene and whilst we should love the club (lcfc not KP) as fans, we should remember that players earn more in a week than someone like a nurse who genuinely affects lives, earns in a year. As I've said before, they can keep their premier league

I tried to remove a post I posted a while back which backed king power, to a point as it embarrassed me given recent goings on. I can accept when I am wrong and I was very wrong. I was "back in the fold" as it were after a long time living away and it shows the danger of commenting on things you don't have full knowledge of. I did and do think king power improved us initially up to a point, but with me starting to be a regular supporter again, taking a bigger interest in the forums, and listening to fellow fans and seeing the BS spouted by the club , I saw first hand just how things have deteriorated at my club. I take it all back. I want them out. I want a standing section, I want a bigger singing section, I don't want to be fleeced to within an inch of my life and I want my daughter to be able to be able to get to games in years to come, not be priced out. That's off my chest now. Don't feel any happier at the state of my club but KP you have totally lost any semblance of approval I may once have had for you

I accept football is an expensive interest/hobby. It has been for a number of years. It's just been pushed to rinsing everyone for every last penny. I hate it but I also accept clubs are run as a business and want to make a profit but it's being taken for an absolute cxnt I can't take. Having someone blatantly taking the p*ss shamelessly and try to dress it up as value. It's like the shirts on another thread. 150 quid for some of them. And the argument is you don't have to buy one. Fair enough but they are made of some sh1tty nylon and they could make a profit at, I would guess, 30 odd quid but no, they have the attitude of ....these football supporters are proper stupid tw*ts let's rinse them, they will pay it. And some do. It's incredible. Same with the match by match tickets. They make up a tiny amount of total income but so what.....if the average non rich pleb wants to watch then he will have to cut back in other areas of life. Awww shame, be rich then, that's who we want. Sit down shut up, do as your told and spend loads. Fxck off. And fxck off premier league. And breathe

150 notes for some shirts. It's actually disgusting. You know what, I preferred the days we were sh*t and this was a sport not a money making exercise. You can keep your premier league 😡

Also, gigs and concerts aren't comparable to being a football fan. You may see a concert as a one off but you wouldn't go to see Bruce Springsteen every other Saturday and a weds night thrown in, like you would following football.

Usually Rachel Riley's arse would soften the blow ......not this time

Possibly, I don't know. For these owners, publicity maybe that benefits KP, increased social standing in the Thai aristocracy? Your guess is as good as mine. But it won't be for nothing

On that note I'm stopping commenting tonight. I've been very angry tonight, not least because I never expected today to be the day that finished me as a regular supporter. But I've ranted enough about the prices. I can't change anything.

I think the days of a local boy done good and got rich, buying his local club are gone. That's was the ideal really. Most clubs our size these days will sadly be bought by large companies or corporations and they won't do it for charity. They will want something back out of it

I wasn't doing that if you re-read. I'm a non ST holder myself. I'm a member By tourists I mean all sorts of non local non Leicester fans, people visiting the UK who want to see a prem game, maybe people who want to see arsenal or man city but don't care much for Leicester, days out etc

I agree. But everyone means EVERYONE. If (when) I stop, someone takes my place. Season ticket holders are unlikely to stop as despite moans, the cost per game as a ST holder is the stuff of dreams for members. (Not that I blame them). I read on here somewhere that only around 3800 tickets are available on a game by game basis, after away fans, comp tickets for sponsors etc are deducted, so realistically the club only have to shift 3800 tickets to tourists (not hard in the prem I wouldn't imagine through these tickets sites that do football tours) even if every member boycotts. Prices are highly unlikely to go down if we are relegated too. Imagine that. £72 to watch us play the likes of Preston and swansea in 25/26. We are fxxked mate. Simple as that.

Couldn't give a fvck now. Millions per year partially funded by £72 match ticket prices!

I'm not sure if this is a bit simplistic but I have been looking at inflation calculators. It's incredible how the game has changed. My first adult ticket cost £5.50 in pen 2 in 1992. The equivalent today is £55 in sk1. Let's assume that wages have roughly doubled since 1992, 5.50 out of let's say an average wage of 250/300 quid a week is very affordable. £55 is much more of a chunk out of a wage of lets say 500/600 per week. Going by the calculator below if tickets went up with inflation a kop ticket should cost around £13.50. How can the club expect a parent to shell out roughly a fifth of their weekly wage on a couple of tickets for themself and a child. Fvcking appalling.

I second that. Well said

Ive toyed with the idea of lower league ground hopping to get my football fix. It will be good to see some old style grounds but the emotional attachment and passion won't be there. Just won't be the same as the joy when your lifelong team score a goal. But if you have kids and they want to support their local team, go for it I say.

Yep and the club won't give a single solitary f**k to lose you or that you have to tell your kids "sorry we aren't rich, we can't go". Cxnts of the highest order. I am a mix of sad and raging. I want to vandalise the club shop !!!

Don't matter now. Doubt I'll be able to afford getting to any of them!!!

Bang on. This is it for me I think. I can't justify it. City will be a one off treat for me and my daughter now, rather than a regular thing. And I'll begrudge that at those prices. They have actively got rid of a lifelong supporter here. Very saddening

FFS are they taking the p1ss. I estimated I would be priced out in a couple of seasons a short while ago. I think it may be this year I'm priced out. Absolute joke.
