She’s actually really clued up about the game. 

I think it is fair to say she probably knows a lot, lot more about the game than the idiots posting sexist crap about her on social media will ever understand

There's quite a few variations on that particular tune I've seen so far, most of which are just pure obscenity. 

 

Superb.

Absolutely incredible. Would love to hear this booming out from the England fans

Mike Galloway passed away 

just saw this. Sad news

I know he only played a handful of games for us but he was a bit of a cult hero I think

the only way I'd be going to this is if we could get all 2000 fans to fling excrement at the players!
 

anyone clapping these clowns on or off the pitch at Ewood Park needs to give their head a wobble

I’m going to defend Steve here and challenge the notion that he was speaking on behalf of the Trust.

 

He was just down there having been out and about for hours distributing leaflets for the Trust End of Season Survey and then watching the game and going round to the protest gathering post-match.
 

An in-the-moment encounter that he never expected, and hadn’t prepared for, popped up as Top came out. He was asked who he was (again you wouldn’t expect) and he mentioned that he’s on the Trust board in his answer to that question as well as saying he’s on several fan channels.

 

He was not there to speak on behalf of the Trust and I don’t think it’s fair to take this interaction as him having done so. Believe me, the Trust is pushing the club and trying to hold it to account.

 

The Trust does have subgroups in areas like Finance & Operations, Communications, Membership and the Women’s Game. These are all working day to day to help the Trust function but are of course only as strong as the number of helping hands. You’d be more than welcome to come and get involved and help any of those areas get better?

As an outside the the Trust (for now), that was my take when I saw the video too

It's a bit unfair if people are taking this interaction in isolation and charactirising it as an official FoxesTrust meeting

I couldn't bear it when we were winning 2-1 and everyone was w@nking themselves off at the thought of prolonging the agoony.

I was willing Hull on to win.

Glad it's over.

Im not even angry now- Feck em and some of the dimwit fans.

Hope we go down again.

 

probably closest to how i felt during the match

If there was any emotion, it was probably relief that it was done last night (though in reality we've been sunk for months)

Where has that second half performance been for most of the season? One swallow doesn’t make a summer but as much as it’s irrelevant, decent performances from Thomas and BDCR. Hull were awful - and once more two brain dead decisions have lead them to scoring.  But who cares. 
 

I don’t feel all that much, the inevitable has been confirmed. But the worst things for me tonight, was them all looking downhearted because it’s been confirmed, and any arsehole that clapped them off the pitch.
 

I’m gutted for Ricardo that his time here is going to end here like this. I’m gutted for Jordan James because he has been a shining light in our worst ever season. A player that actually epitomised our club. 
 

The rest of them, can fack off. 

Bang on mate

In isolation the second half performance was decent but it was far too little far too late

Apathy seemed to win out against anger in the stadium (or at least where I sat)

Woman in front of me and her husband clapped before during and after the game and she called me a tw@t for booing. 

I can't go Friday so that's it for me. Not renewing next season 

I'm 53, been going for nigh on 40 years, many of those a ST holder

Overriding feeling tonight? I just don't care. I really don't. No tears, no anger, no nothing. I don't feel anything for these players or this club.

It may not be completely done yet but it likely will by tonight

Even if we were to miraculously win the last three it still probably wouldn't be enough, right? Even if we got to 50 pts (max possible) Blackburn and West Brom already have 49

Do we HAVE to win all three as it stands to have any chance?

@Les-TA-Jon you're the stats man - whats your take?

By the remaining fixtures alone Arsenal still should win but they just don't seem to have enough about them. Also still have the champions league to navigate on top of that. Arteta just has them too emotional 

yeah I think CL matches will do them in the final reckoning

It's weird. I kind of feel like I should want Arsenal to win it at the antithesis of the Manchester City juggernaut, cheats etc and yet I kind of feel myself reveling in their capitulation

A few weeks ago I saw a video where Arsenal fans were being asked "if you had to choose would you rather Arsenal win the league or Spurs get relegated" and loads of them opted for Spurs to go down, or were genuinely torn on which to choose

the survey is thorough but takes 5 minutes tops

I know how long it takes

But even that will deter some responses - it's just the way it is with any survey

But maybe fewer more detailed replies is better than more vague surveys - who knows

My guess is it won't make much difference anyway but fair play to FT for attempting to hold the club to account

done. but survey is waaay too long which will restict the number of replies

You could relegate Forest or Spurs now with the click of your fingers, who you picking?

 

 

Spurs in a heartbeat

Obviously that lock out can't be helped and old people have as much right to carry on supporting their club and renewing. It's the clubs structure not the older fans fault.

 

I hope this is a good chance to get some fresh bodies in though because we need it.

absolutely. I include myself as one of the "older folk" (although I'm not quite "Coach 1" with my flask and cheese sandwiches)

The failure to expand the stadium when we had the chance is the biggest reason for not getting new bodies through the gates

having effectively had a lock out from new, younger supporters gaining access to season tickets for 10+ years has contributed to our aging fanbase demographic in my view

Mass non renewals this summer might open the door for some younger fans to get their hands on tickets 

Hmmm. I MIGHT go for any of the following reasons

1) last game I can attend this season

2) not renewing next season so this might be the last one for a while

3) my son wants to go

4) can I throw gravel at the players

5) macabre delight in watching us relegate and watching the pathetic spectacle of grown men crying over a football match 

all hinges on 3 really. If he decides he don't fancy it then we won't bother

Even in the vanishingly small chance of us winning 3 we'd almost certainly still go down anyway

It's over

The most predictable 1-0 home win I've ever seen

We are totally sunk now. Even if we won all three remaining matches, it likely wouldn't be enough

for those that have cancelled - including me

How many more payments are due for "this" season ?

I'm assuming at least one more in May? My direct debit usually goes around 1st of the month I think?

can we throw rotten fruit at them on the "lap of appreciation"?

I will have a look down the back of my sofa and see if I have got a spare £500m lying around

 

Can anyone else help chip in?

If I had £500m lying around  I would be enjoying my life somewhere else and definately not investing it in this football club! 

any chance of a t shirt with a sausage roll on?

I'm not doubting you, but £650m seems very high. 

no idea how accurate, but it was the figure that came up after a bit of digging. I imagine it's not too far off and probably includes any debts or future liablities as well as the price of the club

Either way, I suspect any fans consortium is probably going to come up a bit short!
 

a consortium?  to buy the club - well the clubs value (although varies) is listed at approx £650m so you just need to get every season ticket holder to chip in 30 grand or so and you might be on to something

If it is more about fan action and a voice - then I would suggest swinging your support behing the Foxes Trust might be a better way to go
