Supporters clubs

[SemperEadem]

Anyone a member of any of the branches?

Is there still a time and a place for them? Reading older programmes they seem to have been quite big business.

The main Leicester branch seems to be ruled by the Ginnetta mob

i contacted the club a year or so ago about setting one up out here, but they said they were still discussing the issue and would let me know once they had a structure in place. Never heard anything back tho.

A guy called Lance tomlyn used to run an independent supporters club. But I wouldn't know if was still going.

I remember back in the 80s and 90s London had its own branch. Used to be a lot of members come up on the train for games. And I think they even had a Sunday morning 11 a side team that played against other supporters branches in the capital.

I'm a life member of the Leicester branch. It only cost a £5'ver in the mid-70's. Used it occasionally to get into the Supporters Club Corner at Filbo when other parts of the ground were sold out. Still got my membership card.

 

There was a bloke called Tony (?) that ran the Looga-baroo-ga branch.

There'll always be a place for supporter organisations, though whether that's in an official capacity or independent from the club I don't know. Certainly don't feel represented by almost anything Ginnetta says. Be good to see better organisation of Leicester supporters on a regional/local basis as there's an awful lot of good fellow fans could do to help each other.

 

Always amazes me when I go over to Germany how nigh on everyone you meet is in some kind of supporters club, even if it's just them and a bunch of four or five mates they'll have a name for themselves and a banner to take to games. Still, guess that sort of thing's ripe for the pisstaking in England.
