FA Cup: Chelsea (A) 4-2 Post-Match Thread
rugbyblue replied to lnkstern's topic in Leicester City Forum
Cleverly played for us once before. He was ok but he's knocking on a bit now to make a difference in the premier league 😀 -
Let's Wait Till We Win It at Stamford Bridge
rugbyblue replied to kushiro's topic in Leicester City Forum
Great article. I love stuff like this. How times change.....I'm picturing haaland turning up in front of the TV cameras with a live fox under his arm 😂. Although not everything changes ....I see the organisers have always demanded final tickets for themselves rather than the fans. Good read 👍 -

Us: "what about the fans having to travel?" Sky: "f*@k them!"

It's sold out so I'm guessing a good few hundred. 😂

Agree. Yes promotion is priority but this is the quarter finals of the cup. When do you start taking it seriously if not now? Besides all that, 6000 fans are making the effort to get down to London at I would estimate, over 100 quid a pop for ticket, transport, food, drink etc. The club and Enzo have a duty and a moral obligation to the fans who have coughed up hard earned money and travelled to field a strong side and have a proper go at this. Nb. I'm well aware morals and football are rarely found together these days.

Like it or not, yes the club is a run as a business. But name me a medium size to large club that isn't. Top isn't vichai that is clear but I think the fickle among us need to get a grip. It wasn't that long ago this club was in administration, languishing at the bottom of the championship and at one point league one, just drifting, signing washed up players like Les Ferdinand, Dion Dublin and Martin keown who were so far past their best they didn't make a shred of difference. Since king power took over we have achieved promotions, won the premier league (Leicester city.....THE PREMIER LEAGUE), the fa cup, charity shield and were an established premier league force. Yes we got relegated but it happens....look at villa, Leeds, big clubs who bounce back. And we are, barring a disaster, on target to return to the premier league. King power arent perfect but perhaps you'd prefer Mike Ashley? There are also a host of owners who have bought clubs, stripped their assets and even sold their grounds for development (Brighton, years back). Stop thinking we should be challenging for the premier league. That was a one off. Brilliant, but let's be honest in my 33 years of city supporting we were never anywhere near the title before and we are unlikely to be again. Be careful what you wish for. We could be a lot worse off without king power than with them.

Those left handers are contortionists. Remember how they used to write all cack handed at school, arm bent around the page.😂

30 quid for the privilege of spending money on home tickets and not being able to get away tickets. And yet we pay it
-
You'd hope with a lot of fresh faces that can't usually get to away games the whole end will be lively. Hoping anyway

Lucky! Managed to get two bang on 14:00. Sold out 14:01. Unbelievable. Good show though taking 6000 away. Sorry to those who missed out
-
I've said this over and over thru the years, on here and to friends. It's utterly totally baffling. I've never left early but..... 4-0 down against man city or Liverpool, I'd kind of get it (maybe, possibly) but with one goal in it against a side that we are more than capable of scoring against........I cant get my head round it
-
Good shout. Top ground too. Old school. Right on top of the pitch

New low today. 3 quarters of my row disappeared at 32 mins.....didn't reappear until 55 mins. I like I pint but I tend to go to the pub or get a drink in home if i fancy one. What I don't do is spend 40 odd quid to watch a match then **** half of it off to have a weak overpriced drink. Seriously? Why? It's beyond me. I'd ****ing hate to miss a goal or a talking point and above all else I'm there for the footy not the beer. If you love a drink, fair play but there's better places to drink on a Saturday afternoon than a cold souless concourse. Come on lads watch the game, support the city!

Sunderland (A) - Tuesday 5th March - 7.45pm
rugbyblue replied to Nalis's topic in Leicester City Forum
Fish, bread and and wine.....no problem for this fella. Coming back from the dead.....no bother. Attracting millions of disciples and followers ....piece of p*ss. However helping us beat a mid table side may be asking a bit much of him. -
I'm a member and have booked travel on the (very hopeful) assumption that with 6000 this will make members on Tuesday. How hot are ausden Clark with their ticket checks if I don't get a ticket and have to sell the bus tickets. Anybody know?
-
Brilliant.....and so true! My cousin said come to the city with me when I was 13......and it's certainly been a roller coaster. I could have gone with Liverpool who were winning everything at the time like the lads at school. All things considered though, I'm glad I didn't.....it certainly hasn't been boring. Glad young un enjoyed it.

I never want city to lose but against Middlesbrough I accepted it as we threw everything but the kitchen sink at them at 0-2. Today though it was poor. The team didnt seem to know what to do when they were behind. I never really went along with the "Enzo has no plan B" comments before but today I can't help but agree. You CANNOT play the way you play at 3-0 up, patiently passing the ball at the back, when you are behind. You have to inject more urgency, sometimes play it long and most of all, deliver the ball into the box at every opportunity. We just didn't and when we did the final ball was dogsh*t. But.....I've been doing this football lark a long time, I've seen far worse and the squad (not team, as it's time for a few changes) is still capable of winning this league.....they just need a big no nonsense kick up the arse. 3 league defeats on the trot is not acceptable for a team with ambitions of winning the league.

QPR home pre-match thread, 3pm Saturday.

Checked mercury website. Nothing on it re this -
Great. Thanks for taking the time to confirm 👍

No doubt this has been asked before at some point but....I have two mobile tickets to a home game I'm unlikely to be able to make now. They have not been uploaded to wallet yet. So...if I email them to my brother who wants them and he uploads them to his Google wallet, will they still work? Without wishing to be rude, I'd prefer a firm yes or no from someone who has tried this rather than a "it should work". I don't want him turning up and not being able to get in.

Exactly this. Money money money. We are cash cows, don't kid yourself we matter. We only matter when we stop coming. And they know that won't happen In large enough numbers for them to change their pricing. New shirt every season, yes fleece them, they will pay it, increase ticket prices, yes they will pay it, membership, yeah do it, they will pay for the privilege of spending with us, 6 quid a pint, 5 quid a pie, yeah rinse them, they are a captive audience. Yet we still do it, we still pay and I'm as guilty as contributing as anyone else. The problem is, we can't just find another supplier (of football) as we would with a supplier of say, insurance, or go to a different gig because the one we wanted to go to is too expensive, because we are invested. I could go to watch the champions league final with the best players in the world and I wouldnt give a toss who won because it matters more to me to see city beat Plymouth/Swansea and the like. The club know this and take the p*ss. Not just Leicester......all of them.

My one and only time on the pitch after that !! Calm down everyone before I'm called a hooligan.....I wouldn't do it these days 🤣
