rossporterlc Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Leicester City fans can now get their hands on the new Foxes charity wristband.The Silicon blue and white wristbands, with LCFC inscribed on them, went on sale in the club Megastore yesterday and proved an instant hit with supporters, who were quick to snap them up. The bands are priced at £1.50 with 50p from each sale going towards the players' 2005/06 adopted charities. Retail Manager Ben Swift said: "The charity wristbands have hit the high streets by storm recently and as a result we have been inundated with requests to launch our own version. "That's exactly what we have done and what is even better about the product is not only the fact that you will be supporting the club, but will also be assisting various charities. "We have been more than pleased with the response so far." sounds to me like the club may be making a small profit on these, still want one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Surely these should have been out a year ago when they were in fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossporterlc Posted 6 September 2005 Author Share Posted 6 September 2005 Surely these should have been out a year ago when they were in fashion? we were a bit slow on the uptake, i know other football clubs who have had them out for ages, leicester ones are always fashionable of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 i was going to post this! they do look pretty decent, i used to wear a yellow one but it snapped when i was working, then i had an anti racism one and the black one snapped so i didnt want to be known as "racist" for wearing half . i think i will get one even if i dont wear it alot.

SystonFox Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 also people mistake it for the LIVE8 ones... . i tend to wear them on their own, not in a bunch or anything.but thats irrelevent im all for giving money to LCFC and other good causes.

Although most people would be buying them for fashion , some of the money goes to a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Typical LCFC Only a third of the price is being donated to charities. Shame on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Hughes looks a bit chubby Yes, I thought so too. I *REALLY* doubt that he weighs 9st 6lbs (59.93kg) as his profile says I even doubt that he ever weighed that little anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Typical LCFC Only a third of the price is being donated to charities. Shame on them. Now, a typical charity band (single band) is usually £1 and most of it goes to a charity (as far as I know). Why make a triple one that costs one and a half time that amount when only a third goes to the charities? Why not make a double one with at least half of the money going to the charities instead? I cannot think of any legitimate reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Heavy.......... Yes, and a triple band is likely heavier than a single one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted 6 September 2005 Share Posted 6 September 2005 Hughes has a bit of a chubby face but is skinny everywhere else, he certainly doesn't look overweight to me at all. And seeing as he's the best footballer at this club currently, I hardly see how it matters what he looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossporterlc Posted 7 September 2005 Author Share Posted 7 September 2005 he has a chubby face, have to say he probably needs to put more weight on if he is under 10stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
