Super sad the timing of the 10 year anniversary of the club’s biggest achievement co-incides with disenchantment with the regime & league one! So this has been cancelled and also looks like the 5000/1 match isn’t well supported too! Lets hope for the 20 year anniversary that the club is in a better head space!

Seems existing season ticket holders can buy more from 5th May! Seems the clubare expecting tickets to be available after members who want one have bought theirs! 🤣🤣

Just got the success email for next year and we had 1 & 2 points.

Should the Hull Manager who has been sent off be allowed to watch the match from the stands in the press box? I thought when sent off in the game you couldn’t go and sit in the stands?

VPN to what?

I'm still struggling to understand but the above is helping ha!

Thanks for sharing that! Yes, I can help make sense of it. The message seems to be written by someone who is emotionally invested in Wout Faes, possibly a distant relative or someone from the same family branch, and is defending him on a football forum. Here's a clearer interpretation of what they're trying to say: Summary of the Message: The writer clarifies that Wout Faes is not their son, but they still care about him. Their side of the Faes family is academically inclined, not into football—except now, because of Wout. They hope Wout stays at Leicester City, even if he’s just on the bench, because he’ll still earn a salary. They suggest Wout should use his football earnings to invest in property—specifically apartments or houses in Hampstead Heath (a wealthy area in London). With 4–5 properties, he could earn substantial rental income and live comfortably without needing to work. They encourage Wout to pursue higher education—starting with a master’s in mathematics, then graph data science, and eventually a PhD. They believe this academic path would open doors to elite professional circles, especially in tech (e.g., Silicon Valley companies like Google with offices in London). They dismiss the Belgian national football team as a "disaster" and advise Wout not to worry about it. They offer to introduce Wout to influential circles if he follows this path. Tone and Intent: The tone is passionate, supportive, and somewhat idealistic. The writer clearly admires Wout and wants the best for him, beyond football. There's a mix of personal pride (in the Faes family's academic achievements) and a desire to see Wout succeed in a more stable, intellectual career.

I asked AI to make sense of some of the posts: This message is emotionally charged and clearly written by someone who feels deeply misunderstood and frustrated with how Wout Faes is being treated by football fans—particularly British ones. Here's a clearer breakdown of what they're trying to say: Summary of the Message: The writer thanks someone for a compliment, but also takes a jab at football fans, implying they lack intelligence ("not a lot of grey mass"). They claim what they write is true, even if others haven’t heard of it, and suggest that intelligent people should research before reacting. They feel that Wout Faes is being unfairly criticized by British football fans, whom they refer to as "hooligans" and "trash." They mention the Heysel Stadium disaster (1985), where British fans clashed with Juventus supporters, resulting in deaths—including someone who was a friend of their father. Because of this, they say they’re willing to "adapt" to the low level of discourse they perceive from British fans—responding in kind. They emphasize that outside of this situation, they don’t engage with football circles at all. Tone and Intent: Defensive and confrontational: The writer feels attacked and is lashing out in return. Personal and emotional: The reference to the Heysel disaster and a personal connection to one of the victims adds a layer of trauma and resentment. Intellectual pride: They see themselves as more educated or cultured than the average football fan and feel misunderstood. Protective of Wout Faes: They’re clearly trying to defend him from what they see as unfair criticism.

Blue home shirt on BQL but looks like the gold is yellow - anyone ordered one and can comment?

Just OCR'd it so people could read: FOSSE FOOTBALL CLUB. To the Editor Sir,—At the annual meeting of the Fosse Club takes place on Wednesday, I think then a good time to bring before the members a few matters to which they should attend for next season's committee. How do we find the club? Last in the League, and thus having to seek re-election. The team has been playing a most inconsistent game, and their form has been nothing like that shown against Luton. What is wrong? Have we had bad luck with injuries or have we had too many players on trial? Are all our men professionals or amateurs? Are their prospects any brighter for next season than they have been this year? If not, what are we going to do about it? Is it worth letting them play at all? I say no, let our Second team and five men from our Third play with Federals and see what they can do. If these men are good enough for us let us say so; if not let us get rid of them. It is only wasting money trying to make bricks without straw. We must have men who could be got together from other clubs in England, Scotland or even from Percy Ball, of Birmingham St George's (who played so well against us), who would be willing to come here if properly approached by some one who knows how things should be done. Another thing: Why cannot we get more people interested in our club? There are plenty of people in Leicester who would support football if they were asked properly; but there is no inducement for them at present when they see such poor games as those played last season. The club wants waking up badly! It wants new blood! New ideas! New methods! And above all it wants money! We must spend more money on getting better players and paying them well; otherwise there will be no improvement next year either. In conclusion I would like suggest that some steps should taken immediately towards raising funds by means of concerts or entertainments during summer months so as enable committee start next season free debt instead beginning again with deficit which has hampered work past two years running now amounting nearly £100 each time owing partly fact gate receipts have fallen off considerably lately through lack interest shown public generally speaking also because prices charged admission matches too high considering quality football exhibited ground lately being only 6d per head whereas other clubs charge same price give much better value return.—Yours truly, A FOSSIL

Nicky Maynard!

BQLSport now got the white shirt in stock

@damolcfc Thanks - one thing that did strike me on the product description was this wording: Is this really true and need to handwash?

Brendan Rodgers 'never in any doubt' as Celtic seal Premiership title - BBC Sport We're a big team apparently 'Rodgers overcomes negativity' - what the pundits said When Rodgers return to Glasgow was confirmed in June, some Celtic fans reflected back on his abrupt departure to Leicester City while on track for a third successive treble in February 2016. And as Rangers fought their way back into the title race in the early part of the year, the murmurs of discontent grew louder. But in retaining his side's title, the Northern Irishman has quietened his doubters, says former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner. "There was hurt Brendan Rodgers returned," he said on Sportsound. "He went down to a big team in England, those opportunities don't come too often. "Some fans found it difficult to accept. Rodgers has got over the negativity." While Michael Stewart believes the manager has once again proved his credentials, he says continental success will be next on Rodgers' bucket list. "Rodgers is a top class, elite manager," the ex-Scotland international said. "The one thing that will irk him is that he hasn't been able to have a real impact in Europe with Celtic. That's the next step.

I was hoping Friday night's defeat would be our "Sheffield United" (March 1996 - Martin O'Neill) moment where the fans let the players and management know they weren't happy with the performances. This then lead to four straight wins to get us into the Play Offs (with Stevie Claridge!) The fans don't seem to have demonstrated but hoping it can kick starts a run of four straight wins! Shame I don't trust our current set of players/manager to have enough fight to do it - but I'm ever the pessimist they might.... It's the hope that kills you...
