I woke up in a hedge in shepshed one Sunday morning after a night out at Krystal's.....just saying. As for KDH, sad to see him go. Not a world beater but decent and a local lad.

They have had the gall to email me trying to flog me crap from the club shop after those match tickets increases. Laughable. I won't be going to many this season and I'll be making sure you lose more than you gain from me. I did used to use the club shop. Shirts for Christmas, mugs, key rings for birthday presents etc. No more that's for sure

Fair play to the lad. He will be able to get to see them too. His man city and Chelsea supporting pals will have more chance of flying to the moon than of getting to see those teams in the flesh regularly

Agreed, especially to BBC comment. Everyone pays their licence fee.....supporters of all clubs. Interestingly I watched a very old match of the day recently and they showed highlights of a game from the old div 4! That's how it should be. There are more match attending fans supporting clubs other than the big six.

I agree. I really wouldnt care less if the 6 left the premier league and entered a super league. As foxin_mad says, we go to watch Leicester not to watch the opposition or see stars. When we play big teams I'm pleased when their big stars or influential players don't play, rather than disappointed, as I don't go to see them and it benefits city. Yes there would be less money for everyone but so what.....I'd support city if they pulled an unknown out of the pub to play for us. In fact, Preston away aside, my most enjoyable times at football and the best times at games were in years gone by where money wasn't such a big thing and the top flight wasnt the monster it is now. A league us, west ham, Brighton, villa etc had a chance of winning.....yeah I'd watch that, evenly matched with a genuine chance at success. Super league....no relegation or promotion.....boring. No underdogs springing a surprise .... boring......charged extortionate amounts to watch in person and on TV......no thanks.....but hey lads fill your boots. We don't need you.

Agreed. 3 qualifying from some groups is a joke. But it's a money making exercise by uefa. More games more money. I always used to say it was probably tougher to win the euros than the world cup in the days of 8 and 16 teams as every team would be quality. The more teams there are the more meaningless games there are and it's plausible you could get an "easy ride" right through to the semis. But most importantly for the tournament is only 2 teams from each group should qualify. Either go back to 16 teams or increase to 32. I'd prefer 16 but it won't happen

I'm not blown away by the appointment but as my dad always said, don't make judgements without reason. Give everyone a chance. Unless cooper shows he isn't up to it, then he gets my support. Give everyone a chance until they prove they don't deserve another one. And it should be remembered he is a professional. He will want to do a good job. Losing at football isn't much fun for anyone, fans players or managers. Philosophical eh?

😂😂 Unenforceable. How can you be fined for your choice of t-shirt. If you were a spotty teenage steward (as, let's face it, the execs wouldn't dirty their hands) would you approach a burly shouting bloke who smells of beer and attack his t-shirt, ask to see the labels and threaten to fine him? 😂

It should be walkers. It should always be walkers to infinity 😂. Along with Newcastle brown for Newcastle, NEC for everton, JVC arsenal, sharp man utd etc etc. Yes I dislike moving with the times 😂

Morons. Basketball is glorified netball with constant scoring to stop them getting bored and only the last few minutes really matter, baseball is glorified schoolgirl rounders, American football....they don't even use their feet 95% of the time....ITS NOT FOOTBALL. No relegation or promotion so the season is over for half the teams by Xmas. Concentration span of gnats so numerous breaks which is ideal for ads. Call themselves world champions winning at a game only they play. They cannot cope with the concept of a draw......It says a lot about Americans that football is huge almost everywhere in the world except there. Stinks of "if I can't win, I'm not playing". They just don't get it and shouldnt be anywhere near English league clubs or be given the chance to put forward views on how "to improve the experience". That said I wouldn't object to the foxy ladies cheerleaders coming back and doing a bit of pole dancing at half time 😂😂

And still cheaper than a home game at the KP 😂

Sad state of affairs. As you say.....very short term

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
