Until we win it again probably. Could potentially get embarrassing!
leicesterlad1989 Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 Well we are still reigning champions and it's the anniversary of winning it, so I don't see it as an issue currently. Personally speaking though, I will forever talk about it. I don't care what people think. Could never compare it to Forest as their discussion is usually one of being a "big" club, despite their achievements being decades ago.
Captain... Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 If in 37 years time we are languishing near the bottom of the second tier with a piss poor squad and a joke of an owner in charge and people who currently haven't even been born are making a big deal out of it then maybe we should have a look at ourselves, but this is the first anniversary of the most amazing story in sport ever. We can make a big deal out of it, maybe in 5 years, or 10 years, or 20 years we can make a big deal, but we can't live off it for the next 100 years if we fade into obscurity, but if we end up winning it again and establish ourselves in the top 6 in the country then it will be looked back on as the start of a great era.

Ours will forever be that we won the league with what on paper was a bang average team, they still go on about being big in the 70s as if it changes the fact they're about to be relegated to League One
Voll Blau Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 Think we're already worse than them. At least they don't sing "You'll never sing that" at fans of cubs who have won the thing.

I do like to think that those who sing it at teams who have won the league are merely doing it tongue in cheek, as of course football did in fact exist before the Premier League. I do think it will be a while before we are more embarrassing than Forest.
Koke Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 Thing with Forest is they're a small to medium sized club who had a couple of years if unreal success. In reality they should be named Brian Clough Football Club. They were a small club before him and they're returned to being a small club post-Clough. The evidence for that is their fanbase. We haven't won much in our history yet our size of fanbase have always been on par with theirs (we've probably surpassed them by now). A big club don't spend 20 years in the 2nd & 3rd tier with average crowds of 19,000. For a club that have won back to back European Cups in living memory they have a shockingly poor fanbase
TiffToff88 Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 I guess until Forest win it again, we have every right to brag about it - At least to Forest fans! The last 10 years have been rough for me, being a Leicester fan coaching young Forest fans. I've definitely been making the most of the bragging rights the last 18 months or so. I'm especially looking forward to training next Monday evening, after Forest successfully secure their League One status for next season!

All it seems like you've done on here since we've won the league is moan about our fans. You wanted a better atmosphere, you've got a better atmosphere, stop crying every two minutes because it's not exactly the atmosphere you wanted. Our fans are shit because they sing this, our fans are shit because they sing that, at least they're bloody singing. You cried about our fans at Everton for singing the wrong song - would you have rather we be like their fans and make no noise at all!? Christ sakes man. I'm well aware this is a bit of an over reaction but straw and camel's back and all that.
davieG Posted 3 May 2017 Author Posted 3 May 2017 I didn't ask the question because of current celebrations it was more of can you see us being the same in 20-30 years time especially if we never win it again which is very likely. I'm not really that bothered as I'll likely not be around then or if by chance I am I probably wont even remember it
Ted Maul Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 We're still the champions, so it's not an issue. We will be left with great memories, and I will always talk about it. What I won't do, however, is brag about it in a few decades' time to people who weren't even born when we won it. That would just be embarrassing, wouldn't it?

I'm well aware this is a bit of an over reaction but straw and camel's back and all that. It's not about being on my "high horse" at all. We'd rightly rip the piss out of any other fanbase in the country that sang those things, at those places, and you know it. I'll always give our fans credit where it's due, and home games are now a genuine pleasure to attend 90% of the time - win, lose or draw - because of the upturn in atmosphere. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that, as a fanbase, we haven't made as much of being the best team in the country as we'd have hoped though. The number of "disappointing away end again" type posts on here in the past 12 months are testament to that.
Samilktray Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 Nah we won it when it mattered. They won the league when Rochdale & Preston were probably top flight clubs, and then knocked Pompeii FC out in the European cup before beating the lost city of Atlantis in the final
urban.spaceman Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 What we we achieved isn't really comparable to anyone else - Forest's acheivement was great and all that but it was in a different time where the circumstance were much different. Football is a closed shop these days and we'd only just been promoted. AND spent a full 6 months at the bottom of the Premier League before the Greatest Escape. We were 5000-1 for a reason - we are Leicester City. We had no right to even be in the top ten. Everyone thought we'd be going down. For us to then outperform and outfox the richest clubs in the world and to win by such a margin is quite simply the biggest shock and greatest achievement in the history of any sport. So I will be living off this joy for the rest of my life and I don't care what fans of any other clubs think about it. Leicester City. Champions of England.

Beats the kop and the family stand. They also don't play in a bowl like 15 other clubs do like ours. Just going to dial 999 I don't think im feeling to well
AKCJ Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 It amazes me that there are still people on here that can't grasp the basic English of "You will never sing that". If we sing things like "You've never sung that" then you could rip the piss all you like. Made me laugh when people on here were expressing their embarrassment about singing it against West Brom at home. Not only did they win it about 100 years ago meaning that nobody in that away end (likely no West Brom fan at all) has ever sung it, they're also very highly unlikely to win it again.
Fox92 Posted 3 May 2017 Posted 3 May 2017 Can't people of clubs celebrate now then without being labelled "the new...."? Plenty of clubs with rich history now struggling... Forest, Blackburn etc... if they (and us now) want to celebrate something why not. I'll be talking about winning the league for the rest of my life.
